A decision “similar to other companies.” This August 20, 2025 marks the end of the price preservation period in the United States on the PlayStation side. The Sony manufacturer has just announced an increase in the prices of its consoles in US territory.
So far, the Japanese company had tried to preserve its US clients by increasing the prices of PlayStation 5 in Europe and other regions of the world. But customs tariffs that have exploded in recent weeks, especially for Asia products, have visibly changed the situation.
The US prices of the PS5 are now the following:
- PlayStation 5: $ 549.99 (compared to $ 499.99)
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition: $ 499.99 (compared to $ 449.99)
- PlayStation 5 Pro: $ 749.99 (compared to $ 699.99)
However, Sony specifies that the prices of accessories remain the same and “that it is not another territory.”
Europe had already suffered several price increases, the last of which, in April 2025, referred exclusively to the edition without an album (or “digital”). In almost five years, this makes an increase of 100 euros. The standard PS5 is still shown at 549.99 euros.
