Sony has announced a price increase of around $50 (approximately £37) across all PlayStation 5 models in the United States, effective from 21 August 2025. The move means the PS5 Standard Edition, PS5 Digital Edition and the recently launched PS5 Pro will all become more expensive. The company cited ongoing economic pressures and US trade tariffs as the driving factors, sparking frustration among gamers who expected prices to drop as the console entered its mid-cycle stage.
