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. In the United States, the PS5 disc version will increase from $549.99 to $649.99, while the digital version will go up to $599.99. The PS5 Pro will see the largest jump, now priced at $899.99. Sony said the increase is due to pressure from the global economy and rising costs of key components. 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.
