Sony is increasing PlayStation 5 console prices in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand due to economic challenges like inflation and fluctuating exchange rates. The price hikes, effective April 14th, affect the digital edition PS5, with the standard PS5 disc drive edition's price remaining unchanged in some regions. Price increases vary by region, reflecting significant price jumps since the console's launch in several territories. For example, the digital edition PS5 in Europe is now €100 more expensive.
