A New Surge in PlayStation 5 Pricing
Recent developments have brought about a significant increase in PlayStation 5 prices across various regions. Amidst economic challenges such as fluctuating exchange rates and high inflation, both Microsoft and Sony have found themselves compelled to adjust their console prices. Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced price hikes for the PlayStation 5 in Africa, Europe, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and New Zealand.
Current Pricing Details for PlayStation 5
With these revisions, the PlayStation 5 model without a disk drive is now priced at €499.99, up from €449.99. In the UK, this model will cost £429.99 instead of £389.99. Notably, the version with a disk drive remains unaffected by these increases in both Europe and the UK. In Australia, the model with a disk drive is now AUD 829.95, previously AUD 799.95, while the digital version is AUD 749.95, up from AUD 679.95. This results in an increment ranging between AUD$30 and AUD$70.
In New Zealand, the full-featured model is now NZD 949.95, compared to the prior price of NZD 899.95, and the digital-only version has risen to NZD 859.95 from NZD 769.95. Although there is currently no increase for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the standalone disk drive will see global discounts, priced at €79.99 in Europe, AUD$124.95 in Australia, £69.99 in the UK, and $139.95 in New Zealand.
The implications of these price changes on the standard PlayStation 5 models, both with and without a disk drive, in regions not yet affected remain uncertain. Enthusiasts and potential buyers are keenly awaiting further information, which should be forthcoming shortly. We will continue to monitor this evolving situation closely.
