Overview
- New list prices take effect April 2: PS5 €649.99, PS5 Digital €599.99, PS5 Pro €899.99, and PlayStation Portal €249.99.
- Each PS5 model rises by €100, while the Portal handheld used for remote play increases by €30.
- Sony says this is a worldwide adjustment and frames it as necessary to keep delivering high‑quality gaming experiences.
- Coverage links the decision to higher costs for RAM and SSD storage as AI companies drive up demand for memory chips.
- The timing lands just before Easter sales periods, drawing pushback from players, and some retailers may still have stock at pre‑increase prices until the change kicks in.
