The PS5 price tag will increase by $100 / £100 and soon cost $649.99 / £569.99, up from $549.99 / £479.99, while the PS5 Digital Edition will cost $599.99 / £519.99 instead of $499.99 / £429.99. As for the PS5 Pro, the console will increase from $749.99 / £699.99 to $899.99 / £789.99.

"We know that price changes impact our community, and after careful evaluation, we found this was a necessary step to ensure we can continue delivering innovative, high-quality gaming experiences to players worldwide," said Isabelle Tomatis, vice president, global marketing, Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The last time Sony increased the price of its hardware was in August 2025, stating at the time that "a challenging economic environment" led to the "difficult decision" of hiking the cost of PS5 consoles by $50.
