PS5, PS5 Pro and PlayStation Portal Price Increase Announced
We’re here to be the bearer of bad news, as the recent slate of PlayStation devices are the latest products that will see a price increase starting next week.
This means the base PS5, PS5 Pro and even the PlayStation Portal will all see a significant price increase due to what Sony calls “continued pressures in the global economic landscape.”
Expect this price increase to happen worldwide starting April 2, 2026.
