If you’ve been thinking about buying a PlayStation console, now is the time to act. PlayStation has officially announced global price increases across multiple products starting April 2, 2026.
Here’s everything you need to know about the PlayStation price increase in 2026 ?
New PlayStation Prices (Starting April 2, 2026)
PS5: $649 (was $549) — +$100
PS5 Digital Edition: $599 (was $499) — +$100
PS5 Pro: $899 (was $749) — +$150
PlayStation Portal: $249 (was $199) — +$50
These price hikes apply globally and will go into effect on April 2, 2026.
What This Means for Buyers
The PS5 price increase is one of the largest jumps we’ve seen for gaming consoles in recent years.
If you’re planning to buy:
– You can still purchase at current prices before April 2
– Retailers may sell out quickly as demand increases
– Bundles and deals may become more limited
Should You Buy Now?
If a PlayStation console is already on your list, buying before the price increase could save you:
– $100 on PS5 models
– $150 on PS5 Pro
– $50 on PlayStation Portal
Waiting until after April 2 means paying significantly more for the same devices.
Where to Buy Before Prices Increase
Check major retailers for current pricing while inventory lasts:
Tip: Look for bundles that include games or accessories for added value before prices go up.
