  "account": "The demand for the PlayStation 5 Pro has surged as the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) approaches in November 2026. Major US retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop, and PlayStation Direct have sold out of the console, with the $899 PS5 Pro now out of stock. Even in Pakistan, the same console is being sold for approximately Rs. 350,000 by retailers in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, according to an importer. International resellers are listing the console for over $1,400 on secondary marketplaces, which is significantly higher than Sony's current US retail price. Originally launched at $699.99 in November 2024, the price of the PS5 Pro was later increased to $899 in 2026. The highly anticipated release of GTA 6 on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is driving up demand for the console. While the PS5 Pro is not essential to play GTA 6, it is one of the most anticipated releases for current-generation consoles.",
