Sony Increases PlayStation 5 Prices Across Key Regions

The PS5 Digital Edition sees price hikes in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with economic challenges cited as the driving factor.

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.
