Sony announced on their PlayStation Blog that they are raising the prices of the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal worldwide. They explained this is due to ongoing economic challenges.
We understand that changes to our prices affect our players, and after thoroughly considering all options, we’ve made this adjustment to keep providing exciting, top-notch gaming experiences to everyone around the globe.
No one enjoys paying more for things, and this year has seen prices rise across the board. Factors like taxes on imports, the war, and a lack of computer chips are all contributing to these increases.
