Sony will increase the prices of its PlayStation 5 consoles in the US, starting today. This follows the trend of console manufacturers such as Microsoft and Nintendo raising prices for their hardware in response to tariffs.

Starting tomorrow, the PS5 is getting more expensive. In an announcement on the PlayStation blog, Sony has announced that the prices for all the different editions of the PS5 are increasing. Here is the list of new prices: PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99 PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99

California Governor Gavin Newsom blames the PS5 price hikes on President Donald Trump as tariff concerns affect the gaming market.

"As an aside, Nintendo also explored raising prices on Switch 2 when tariffs were temporarily at 10% for Vietnam. Now they're at 20%. This is definitely impacting margins for them. While they may not be willing to raise prices right now, I can see them reconsidering next year [2026]."

PS5 games that normally cost $60 are on sale for just $6 for a limited time, thanks to a new PlayStation Store sale.
