Sony has announced a price increase for its PlayStation 5 line of consoles, with all models increasing by at least $100 globally.
The price will take effect from April 2, 2026.
The cheapest PS5 Digital Edition will now cost $599.99, up from $499.99. On the other hand, the standard version with a disk drive will sell for $649.99.
The premium version of PS5 Pro will see a larger price increase of $150 and will sell for $899.99. There’s also a price increase on the PlayStation Portal Remote Player to $249.99.
In the UK, prices rise to £569.99 for the standard PS5, £519.99 for the Digital Edition and £789.99 for the Pro.
A similar trend will be observed in European markets.
The company raised the price for the second time in a year, following a $50 increase last August.
Sony attributed the price increase to “continued pressures in the global economic landscape,” referring to the rising cost of memory.
In an official statement, Sony said: “We know that price changes affect our community.”
“After careful evaluation, we found this was a necessary step to ensure we can continue to deliver high-quality, innovative gaming experiences,” the company added.
