Sony Raises PlayStation 5 Prices Amid Tariff Challenges
Sony has increased the price of its PlayStation 5 consoles in the United States. The standard model costs $549.99, the digital edition $499.99, and the PlayStation 5 Pro costs $749.99. These changes apply only to the US market. The price increases are due to tariffs on consoles, which range from 15% in Japan to 30% in China. Sony's decision mirrors recent increases by Microsoft and Nintendo. Tariff negotiations are ongoing, and further price hikes could occur if no deal is reached with China.
