PlayStation consoles get massive price hikes across the board
Sony has announced substantial price hikes for its PlayStation consoles across all the major regions. These are the biggest price hikes we have seen so far, with a straightforward $100 increase in the US market.
According to the company's blog post, which lists all the updated prices, there is "continued pressures in the global economic landscape". These do seem to happen quite regularly to Sony, as the company cited something similar last year when it increased PlayStation prices, as well as in 2022 when it also increased PlayStation prices.
The following are the new prices for PlayStation devices in various regions:
| PlayStation 5 | PlayStation 5 Digital Edition | PlayStation 5 Pro | PlayStation Portal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S | $649.99 | $599.99 | $899.99 | $249.99 |
| U.K. | £569.99 | £519.99 | £789.99 | £219.99 |
| Europe | €649.99 | €599.99 | €899.99 | €249.99 |
| Japan | ¥97,980 | ¥89,980 | ¥137,980 | ¥39,980 |
The new prices will come in effect starting April 2, 2026.
