Gamers, brace yourselves: the PS5 just got pricier. After citing a “challenging economic environment,” Sony has increased PS5 prices to the following: PlayStation 5: $549.99 (up $50 from $499.99) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition: $499.

After months of holding off, Sony has raised the price of its PlayStation 5 console lineup in the United States and the PS5 Pro is now a whopping $750.

Both versions of the PS5 Slim and the upgraded PS5 Pro console will be $50 more at US retailers, but if you were about to give up the idea of ever getting the Sony console, there is a small bit of hope, as some retailers haven't yet made the change.

The Sony Inzone H9 II sounds incredible and feels great. It's just short of perfect in one important way. You don’t need to do much more to sell me on a pro-level gaming headset than Sony did with its latest Inzone H9 II.

In case you missed it, PS Plus Extra/Premium added a brand-new PS5 console exclusive to the catalog day-one yesterday.

Confirmed upcoming PS5 games for 2025 include Ghost of Yotei, Lost Soul Aside, and Battlefield 6. Some upcoming PS5 games are yet to receive a concrete release date, such as Judas, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Marathon.
