Sony has confirmed that PlayStation will increase the price of its consoles by $50 starting tomorrow, a measure they attribute to tariffs and a “challenging economic environment“. The price hike affects both the standard model and the digital edition, as well as the recently announced Pro model.
Although Xbox also applied a price increase to its consoles in the past, this news comes from the PlayStation side, marking a new adjustment mid-generation and in a context where the global economy is directly affecting hardware.
New PlayStation prices after the increase
These are the confirmed prices:
-
PlayStation 5 – $549.99
-
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99
-
PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99
The price increase will take effect tomorrow in markets where PlayStation sells its consoles. Although the figures have been released in dollars, it is expected that the measure will also have an impact in other regions, with similar adjustments in their local currencies.
The news is a new blow to gamers, who will see how the two major brands have ended up resorting to the same solution at different times in the generation: increasing the price of their consoles in response to current economic pressure.
