Sony is falling in step with other manufacturers and announcing price increases for its PlayStation 5 line. Here's how much they'll cost you now.
Every version of the PlayStation 5 is now $50 more expensive in the U.S., but at least for now, a new deal at GameStop will cover the difference. The meme stock retailer announced it will start giving anyone who trades in their last-gen consoles an extra $50 in-store credit toward the purchase of a new PS5.
California governor Gavin Newsom has reacted to the PlayStation 5 price hike in the US, jokingly thanking US President Donald Trump for making it happen via his controversial tariff strategy. Re-sharing a news story about the PS5 price hike, Newsom, a Democrat, posted on social media, "Great work, Donald Trump!!"
PS5 games that normally cost $60 are on sale for just $6 for a limited time, thanks to a new PlayStation Store sale.
