Investing.com – Sony announced on Friday that it will raise the prices of its PlayStation 5 console series starting in April, marking the second price increase within less than a year. The company stated that the pressures of the global economic environment are the reasons for this adjustment.

In the United States, the price of the PS5 disc version will increase from $549.99 to $649.99, a rise of $100. The digital version will also rise by $100 to $599.99. The PS5 Pro, being the most powerful version of the console, will see a price increase of $150 to $899.99.

The price hike will take effect on April 2.

Sony stated in a blog post that the company recognizes that price changes will affect its user base. The company claims that after careful evaluation, it believes this move is necessary to continue providing innovative, high-quality gaming experiences to players worldwide.

Last year, Sony raised console prices globally against a backdrop of high inflation and uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs. The company is currently facing pressures from soaring memory chip prices.

The price adjustments will also apply to other markets. In the UK, the price of each PS5 model will increase by £90, approximately $120. Sony will also implement price increases in Japan and Europe.
