The global economic environment is a challenge that many of you around the world are no doubt experiencing. We’re seeing high global inflation rates, as well as adverse currency trends, impacting consumers and creating pressure on many industries. Based on these challenging economic conditions, SIE has made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price (RRP) of PlayStation 5 in select markets across Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), as well as Canada. There will be no price increase in the United States.

The new RRPs below are effective immediately unless otherwise noted.*


  • Europe
    • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – €549.99
    • PS5 Digital Edition – €449.99


  • UK
    • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – £479.99
    • PS5 Digital Edition – £389.99

  • Canada

    • PS5 Digital Edition – CAD $519.99


While this price increase is a necessity given the current global economic environment and its impact on SIE’s business, our top priority continues to be improving the PS5 supply situation so that as many players as possible can experience everything that PS5 offers and what’s still to come.
Thank you for your continued support.


Dejo también un artículo de xataka en español:

Sony acaba de anunciar una subida de precio para su PlayStation 5. La subida tendrá "efecto inmediato" y desde la empresa esgrimen que se debe a "las elevadas tasas de inflación mundial" y a las "tendencias monetarias adversas".

Así pues, Sony ha decidido subir el precio de la consola, tanto en su versión con lector de discos como la digital. Los nuevos precios son los siguientes:


  • PlayStation 5 con lector de discos: 499,99 euros 549,99 euros.
  • PlayStation 5 edición digital: 399,99 euros 449,99 euros.

En fin, ¿afectarán esos 50 euros a los precios de acá también?
