Overview
- Sony has raised the price of the PS5 Digital Edition in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, effective April 14, 2025.
- In Australia and New Zealand, both the Digital and Standard PS5 models now cost more, while only the Digital Edition is affected in Europe and the UK.
- The PS5 Pro remains unaffected by the price increases, and the cost of the external disc drive has been reduced in all impacted regions.

- While the US market has not yet experienced a price hike, analysts suggest that future increases in the region are possible.
