Sony announced that it would raise the price in all versions of all playstation 5 in the United States. The price hike is implemented on August 21, so there is little time for people to plan time ahead of the price increase. People are now within 24 hours of attempting and purchasing PS5 or PS5 Pro before Sony raises the price.
All new PS5 consoles will now take more than $ 50 in the United States. The updated price is as follows.
- PlayStation 5 -$ 549.99
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition -$ 499.99
- PlayStation 5 Pro -$ 749.99
“Like many global businesses, we continue to explore challenging economic environments. Sony in a very short blog post that announces the news. “As a result, from August 21st, the US has made a difficult decision to raise the recommended retail price of the PlayStation 5 console in the United States.”
Sony confirmed that there is no plan to raise the price of the current PS5 accessories in the blog post, and the company confirmed that “there is no other price change for the additional market.”
When PlayStation 5 was released in November 2020, two flavors of $ 500 consoles with disk drives and $ 400 digital consoles came out. For the next five years, Sony and other console manufacturers have raised the price of game machines due to some different factors. Donald Trump’s tariffs and Chip. aprilSony has raised the price of a new PS5 in several countries. MayThe Xbox also raised the price of the console from $ 300 to $ 380, including Xbox Series S. And early this monthNintendo has raised the price of old switch consoles and accessories.
Just before the release of Switch 2, Nintendo’s President Nintendo Dougbowzer could not promise that the price of $ 450 of the console would not rise in the future, and President Trump’s tariffs were mentioned for price uncertainty.
“It’s still a fluid situation and it’s hard to decide what’s going to happen in the upcoming months or weeks.”
Once again, of course, the best behavior in 2025 is to buy a console as soon as possible. This is because the price is likely to fall in the future. This is generally the opposite of the way work works in video games, and consoles are generally the price drop over time. That time is a distant memory for the time being.
