Sony raises PlayStation 5 prices in US as tariff fears persist
Sony has announced a price increase for its PlayStation 5 (PS5) console in the United States. The company cited "high global inflation rates" and "adverse currency trends" as the primary reasons for the price hike. The standard PS5 model will now cost $549, up from the previous price of $499, while the digital-only version will be priced at $449, up from $399. The price increase is not applicable to the United States alone, as Sony has also implemented similar changes in Europe and other regions. The decision comes amidst ongoing concerns about global economic conditions, including the potential impact of tariffs on consumer electronics. The move is likely to impact the affordability of the PS5 for some consumers, but Sony has stated that it remains committed to providing the best possible gaming experience.
