Well, it was bound to happen. Sony has just announced that it will raise the price of all three PS5 models in the United States starting on August 21. The base PS5 (or PS5 Slim), PS5 Digital Edition and the PS5 Pro will now cost $50 more, or $549, $499 and $749 (respectively).
Other global markets have already experienced PS5 price hikes in recent times, so it was only a matter of time before it happened in the United States. This is also true considering how Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Series consoles back in May of this year. That’s small consolation, but it’s not surprising that Sony would eventually bump up the PS5’s price in the U.S.
