Each of the three current models of the PS5 consoles will go up by $50. That means the PS5 Digital Edition will be $500 instead of $450; the standard PS5 (with Blu-ray optical drive) will be $550 instead of $500; and the high-end PS5 Pro will be $750 instead of $700.

A PlayStation 5 is about to cost even more in the U.S, with Sony confirming a price hike due to a " challenging economic environment."
