Overview
- Sony, which announced the change Monday, will lift recommended PS5 prices worldwide on April 2.
- New list prices set the Digital Edition at €599.99, the Disc model at €649.99, the PS5 Pro at €899.99, and the PlayStation Portal at €249.99.
- The company cites higher costs for RAM and flash storage plus currency swings as the reasons for the increase.
- Retail prices still vary by store, with some current deals undercutting the new list, so what buyers actually pay remains unclear.
- This is the third hike since the PS5’s 2020 launch, bucking the usual pattern of mid-cycle discounts, and rivals Microsoft and Nintendo have raised prices too.
