Yes, as of June 2025, Sony has lifted the region lock on several major PC titles on Steam for countries where PlayStation Network (PSN) isn't officially supported, including the Philippines. This includes games like God of War Ragnarök, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. This change means Filipino players no longer need to rely on VPNs to purchase these games. However, Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut remains restricted in some regions, likely due to its multiplayer mode requiring PSN.

The standard PlayStation 5 console has a suggested retail price (SRP) of PHP 30,790. However, Sony has run promotional sales, such as one from December 18-31, 2023, where the base PS5 was discounted to PHP 23,990. Bundled versions, like the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Bundle, have an SRP of PHP 33,890 but were also offered at a promo price of PHP 27,090 during the same sale period.

Sony has announced several new accessories. In September 2024, they revealed the Chroma Collection for PS5, featuring iridescent DualSense controllers (Chroma Pearl, Indigo, Teal) priced at PHP 4,590 and matching console covers for the Slim model at PHP 3,690. Previously, in November 2023, Sony announced the Pulse Elite wireless headset (PHP 8,399) and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds (PHP 12,490) for the Philippines, which use a new low-latency PlayStation Link technology. The PlayStation Portal remote player, a handheld device for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi, was also announced in August 2023.
