NextImg:Sony Hikes Playstation 5 Price Up To 11% In Major Markets - Except The US

Sony, citing inflation and 'fluctuating exchange rates,' has hiked the price of the Playstation 5 in several regions - but is shielding US consumers from the decision.

The company said it was a "tough decision" to raise PS5 prices for the first time in three years.

"With a backdrop of a challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates, SIE has made the tough decision to raise the recommended retail price of the PlayStation 5 console in select markets in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Australia and New Zealand," the company said in a statement, and confirming to Gamespot that US prices will remain the same.

Analyst Daniel Ahmad suggested that "The knock on effect [of tariffs] in terms of inflation, exchange rates, and macro trends" may cause Sony to raise prices globally.
