Sony has raised the price of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, attributing it to high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates. This marks another increase on a console that has already seen rising prices since its launch over four years ago. The PS5 Standard Edition's price is also adjusting in Australia and New Zealand. While these changes reflect worsening economic conditions, the PS5 Pro's price remains unchanged, offering some relief to consumers amid the price hikes.
Over the weekend, Sony announced a price increase for the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console in four regions, blaming inflation and fluctuating exchange rates.
Sony attributed the recent price hikes for the PS5 to a "challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates," reflecting difficulties in the global market.
While prices typically decrease over time for consoles, the PS5 has seen multiple price increases in its lifetime, a trend that's contrasted sharply with historical expectations.
Despite substantial price hikes, the PS5 Pro remains stable at its current price, along with a small reduction for an optional PS5 disc drive in select regions.
