As a gamer speaking about Sony, I’m sharing some news: Just like numerous businesses worldwide, we’re sailing through rough economic waters. This situation has led us to make a tough call – raising the suggested retail price for PlayStation 5 consoles in the U.S., effective from August 21.
In the past few months, prices of the PS5 console have risen in various regions like the UK and Europe. Earlier this year, Sony, the hardware producer, hinted at potential PS5 system price hikes. Now, they’ve made good on that promise by increasing the cost in the USA.
Sony’s Chief Financial Officer, Lin Tao, mentioned they were exploring options to possibly transfer the costs associated with tariffs, imposed by President Donald Trump, onto consumers. Additionally, there were discussions about manufacturing PlayStation 5 consoles domestically in the United States.
In simpler terms, Tomatis announced that there will be no changes in the prices of PlayStation 5 accessories as part of this recent business update for other markets as well.
