In the midst of a tough economic climate marked by soaring inflation and unstable exchange rates, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has opted to increase the recommended retail price (RRP) of the PlayStation 5 in certain regions across Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), Australia, and New Zealand.
From April 14, the updated RRPs for the PS5 will be as follows:
For Europe, the PS5 Digital Edition will now be priced at €499.99, with no changes for the standard PS5 equipped with the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive. Over in the UK, the PS5 Digital Edition will see a price tag of £429.99, again leaving the standard version unaffected by changes.
In Australia, the price for the standard PS5 with the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive is set at AUD $829.95, and the PS5 Digital Edition will be AUD $749.95. Moving to New Zealand, gamers will find the standard version priced at NZD $949.95, while the Digital Edition will cost NZD $859.95.
It is important to note that prices for the PS5 Pro remain stable and unchanged. Meanwhile, on the upside, there is a price drop for the Disc Drive accessory for the PS5. Effective April 14, the new prices will be €79.99 in Europe, £69.99 in the UK, AUD $124.95 in Australia, and NZD $139.95 in New Zealand.
It’s worth mentioning that some markets in EMEA not specifically detailed here might also experience price adjustments. To get the most accurate pricing for your area, be sure to check in with local retailers or visit direct.playstation.com, where applicable.
