Sony has announced a price adjustment for the PlayStation 5 consoles in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, effective from April 14. The decision to raise the recommended retail prices (RRPs) is attributed to the challenging economic climate, including high inflation rates and fluctuating exchange rates. This information was officially confirmed through a post on the PlayStation Blog.
Here are the new RRPs for the PS5:
Europe:
- PS5 Digital Edition: €500 (The standard PS5 with disc drive remains unchanged)
UK:
- PS5 Digital Edition: £430 (The standard PS5 with disc drive remains unchanged)
Australia:
- Standard PS5 with disc drive: AUD $830
- PS5 Digital Edition: AUD $750
New Zealand:
- Standard PS5 with disc drive: NZD $950
- PS5 Digital Edition: NZD $860
Notably, the price of the PS5 Pro has not been affected by these changes.
This follows a similar pattern of price increases that occurred in 2022, making the PS5 more expensive in several regions compared to its initial launch prices. In Europe and the UK, the PS5 Digital Edition has seen a significant increase of €100 and £70 respectively, rising from their launch prices of €400 and £360. In Australia, the standard PS5 is now AUD $80 more than at launch (from AUD $750), while the digital edition has gone up by AUD $150 (from AUD $600). New Zealand's standard PS5 has increased by NZD $130 (from NZD $820), and the digital version by NZD $210 (from NZD $650).
Interestingly, the RRP for the PS5 disc drive is actually decreasing to €80, £70, AUD $125, and NZD $140 in their respective regions.
