Sony Group has announced a fresh round of price increases for its PlayStation 5 lineup, marking the second hike in under a year due to rising component costs.
The new prices take effect in April, with the US seeing a sharp jump across the PS5 range: Standard PS5 ($649.99), Digital Edition ($599.99), PS5 Pro ($899.99), and PlayStation Portal ($249.99).
The increases will also extend to markets in Europe and Japan, primarily driven by the increasing cost of key components, particularly memory chips.
Analysts warn the price surge could slow momentum in the broader gaming market, especially as consoles remain central to the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, rumors about Sony canceling Spider-Man surfaced this week, but the rumor is not true, with no official confirmation from Sony or Marvel.
