Sony is to raise the price of its PS5 games console as it tackles increased cost pressures from rising interest rates.

The Tokyo-based company said its Blu-ray disc drive console would rise by £30 in the UK to hit £479, while its Digital Edition console would also rise £30 to £389. The Blu-ray console was rising by 50 euros in the EU with a similar sized rise expected in Japan, China and Australia. Prices will be staying the same in the US.
