Sony is increasing the prices of all PlayStation 5 models in the US by $50, effective Thursday. The price hikes are attributed to the “challenging economic environment,” which includes tariffs imposed by President Trump on imported products.
The three models will see increased prices: the standard PS5 will cost $549.99, while the digital edition will be priced at $499.99. The Pro model, previously valued at $699.99, is now set at $749.99. Notably, Sony has left the retail prices for PS5 accessories unchanged.
This move follows recent price increases by competitors, including Microsoft and Nintendo, to cover tariffs imposed on their respective hardware and accessories. The changes come as companies navigate the impact of global trade policies on product pricing.
