Sony has raised the price of the PlayStation 5 for the second time in history, affecting markets in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, while leaving the US untouched. The increase for the Digital Edition is £40/€50 in the UK and Europe, while the regular PS5 saw hikes in Australia and New Zealand. Vice President Isabelle Tomatis attributed the price adjustments to high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates, although the absence of changes in the US market raises questions about broader economic influences.
For the second time in the console's history, Sony has increased the price of the PlayStation 5 in select markets, citing a challenging economic environment as the reason.
The PS5 Digital Edition is now £40/€50 more expensive in the UK and Europe, whereas both versions have seen hikes in New Zealand and Australia.
Isabelle Tomatis stated that the decision to raise the PS5's prices was tough due to high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates in certain regions.
Interestingly, the US market remains unaffected by these price hikes, despite speculation that tariff hikes may have influenced the pricing strategy.
