Sony has announced a new price increase for its PlayStation 5 consoles, with changes set to take effect on April 2. The move raises prices by up to $150 and may also affect markets like the Philippines, where local pricing often follows global trends. The PS5 Pro will see the largest jump, now priced at $899.99. These parts are in demand due to growth in AI data centers, which has limited supply and pushed prices higher. While there is no official price change yet in the Philippines, similar increases in Japan, the U.K., and Europe suggest local prices could also rise. Industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls said the price hike was expected and added that companies like Microsoft and Nintendo could follow if costs remain high. According to Sony, the special offer will cover purchases of the PlayStation VR with PlayStation Camera, DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controllers (selected colors) and selected PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 software from August 23 to September 5. Offers are available at all PlayStations Authorized Dealers and Sony Stores while stocks last.
