Sony has confirmed a PlayStation 5 price increase next month. Starting April 2, 2026, the console manufacturer will raise the price of PS5 in every region. On top of this, each model will be affected, from the base console to the PlayStation 5 Pro. Furthermore, PlayStation Portal will also be more expensive.

The company has revealed the prices that will kick in next week, and here’s everything you need to know.

New PlayStation 5 prices

In the latest blog post, Sony revealed new PlayStation 5 prices in April. The Japanese giant described the move as “a necessary step to ensure we can continue delivering innovative, high-quality gaming experiences to players worldwide.”

The prices below will be effective starting April 2. In the meantime, you can still find PS5 consoles at lower prices, but their stock will likely decrease quickly with the latest announcement.

These are the new PS5 prices in major regions:

U.S.

• PS5 – $649.99 
• PS5 Digital Edition – $599.99 
• PS5 Pro – $899.99

U.K.

• PS5 – £569.99 
• PS5 Digital Edition – £519.99 
• PS5 Pro – £789.99

Europe

• PS5 – €649.99 
• PS5 Digital Edition – €599.99 
• PS5 Pro – €899.99

Japan

• PS5 – ¥97,980 
• PS5 Digital Edition – ¥89,980 
• PS5 Pro – ¥137,980

PlayStation Portal

• U.S. – $249.99
• U.K. – £219.99
• Europe – €249.99
• Japan – ¥39,980

This marks a rare instance where console prices increase mid-generation, as hardware typically becomes cheaper over time. For potential buyers, this means that now is the best time to purchase a PS5 before the new pricing takes effect.

While Sony hasn’t revealed new PS5 prices in other territories, they will soon be available at retailers. Alternatively, gamers can check them at direct.playstation.com.

The decision to raise PlayStation 5 prices comes ahead of the GTA 6 release, which will arguably be the biggest game of the year. Rockstar’s flagship title won’t be available on PCs, which is why we expect the sales of PS5 consoles to skyrocket in late 2026.
