You have read the title of this article correctly and there is enough to fall from the clouds… If you were already fed up with the stories of inflations all over the place and the price of games on new generation consoles which for some have become prohibitive, especially on PS5, so you’re not going to be at all happy with this announcement of Sony Interactive Entertainment and his CEO Jim Ryan performed through the PlayStation-Blog.
The price of the PlayStation 5 will therefore increase around the world and this unfortunately concerns Europe and therefore France. The reason behind this tariff change is none other than inflation, which “impacts the consumer and creates pressure on many industries”, combined with the fact that the various currencies are devalued and appear to the firm as “a necessity given the current global economic environment and its impact on SIE’s business”, which does not fail to recall that its priority is to improve the supply of PS5. Not sure that there are so many now wanting to get it… you will find the new price list below:
European (+ €50)
- PlayStation 5 with disc drive – €549.99
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – €449.99
UK (+£30)
- PlayStation 5 with disc player – £479.99
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – £389.99
Japan (+¥5,000) (from September 15, 2022)
- PlayStation 5 with disc player – ¥54,980
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – ¥44,980
China (+ 400 yuan)
- PlayStation 5 with disc player – 4,299 yuan
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 3,499 yuan
Australia (+A$50)

Mexico City (+ MXN$1,000)

- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – MXN$12,499
Canada (+ CAD $20)
- PlayStation 5 with disc drive – CAD$649.99
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – CAD $519.99
Now let’s hope that the price of the virtual reality headset PlayStation VR 2 does not cost another kidney during its recently specified release… already than that of the Meta Quest 2 has also increased recently.
Otherwise, you can always afford an Xbox Series X on Amazon at a price of €499.99 and then enjoy the games of the Game Pass to play cheaply.
