Sony Raises PS5 Prices Again. The PS5 Pro Now Costs $900.

Sony is raising PlayStation 5 prices for the second time in under a year. Starting April 2, the PS5 Pro will cost $900 in the US, up $150 from $750. The standard PS5 disc edition jumps $100 to $650, and the PlayStation Portal remote player increases $50. Prices are also rising in Europe, the UK, Japan, and Australia.

Sony cited "continued pressures in the global economic landscape" without elaborating further. That phrase has become standard corporate language for tariff and supply chain costs that companies prefer not to name directly.

The original PS5 launched in 2020 at $499 for the disc edition and $399 for digital. Sony raised prices in August 2022 across most regions except the US, then again in late 2024 by another $50. This latest increase is the largest single price jump the PS5 line has seen since launch, pushing the Pro toward the $1,000 mark.

The timing lands alongside Nintendo confirming it will also raise prices on Switch 2 games and accessories in the US due to tariff concerns. Whether Sony faces the same tariff pressures, or is using them as cover for broader margin recovery, remains unclear.

For anyone who held off buying a PS5 Pro at $750, the calculus just shifted. At $900, the PS5 Pro costs more than most gaming PCs in the same performance tier.
