PS5 becomes more expensive in the US. as Sony adjusts pricing

Sony has officially increased the prices of its PlayStation 5 consoles in the United States, adjusting costs across the standard, digital, and Pro models. The updated pricing structure sees the disc-equipped PS5 now retailing at $549.99, while the Digital Edition climbs to $499.99. The high-end PS5 Pro, first launched in late 2024, is now listed at $749.99, making it the most expensive mainstream console currently available.

At launch in November 2020, the PS5 debuted at $499 for the disc version and $399 for the Digital Edition — meaning both core models have now seen a $50 price increase over time. The PS5 Pro, designed with enhanced performance and visual fidelity in mind, continues to serve as Sony’s flagship model.

Sony’s updated pricing aligns with a broader trend in the console market. Earlier this year, Microsoft raised prices on both the Xbox Series S and X, while also introducing a $729 version of the Series X featuring 2TB of storage.

Despite the console price hike, accessories remain unaffected. The optional PS5 disc drive, for instance, still retails for $79.99, and there are no announced changes to peripheral pricing at this time.

Sony’s decision to increase prices comes as all PS5 models remain readily available through major US. retailers, signalling a stable supply chain and a renewed focus on the premium segment of the market.
