The PlayStation 5 is now more expensive, thanks to “a challenging economic environment”

Sony has announced a rather significant price increase for select PlayStation 5 consoles affecting multiple regions, including the UK, with the Digital Edition bearing the brunt of the adjustments in what the company describes as "a challenging economic environment".

The price changes, effective from today, see the disc-free PS5 Digital Edition rise by £40 to £429.99 in the UK, and by €50 to €499.99 across European markets. Note that while the price increase appears to have gone into effect on Sony's own store, we still see slightly lower prices on Amazon at the time of writing.
