Sony is raising PS5 console prices globally starting April 2, 2026, citing ongoing global economic pressures. The base PS5 and Digital Edition will increase by $100 (to $649.99 and $599.99 respectively in the US), while the PS5 Pro jumps $200 to $899.99. The PS Portal also rises to $249.99. Price changes are detailed for the US, UK, Europe, and Japan. The increases come amid a broader component shortage crisis affecting the gaming industry, with Valve also delaying hardware launches and Nintendo monitoring memory supply to avoid similar price hikes. Sony's PS5 shipments also declined 15.7% year-over-year in Q3.
