PlayStation 5 Price Goes Up, PS5 Disc Drive Cost Goes Down
Sony announced changes in price for the PlayStation 5 and the cost of the optional PS5 disc drive for Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK. Certain variants of the console will be more expensive in locations in those regions. However, the disc drive price will be going down. It cited “high inflation” and “exchange rates” as the reasons for the changes. This means it will be closer in price to a Switch 2 in some places, which is €469/£395/AUD $699.95. PS5 Pros are unaffected. In Europe and the UK, only the PS5 Digital Edition price is increasing, as the disc drive cost goes down in both regions. It will be €499.99, rather than €399.99. In the UK, it will be £429.99 instead of £359.99. The peripheral will now be €79.99 and £69.99, as it previously cost €119.99 and £99.99. In Australia and New Zealand, both PlayStation 5 models, such as the standard one and PS5 Digital Edition, will cost more. One without a disc drive will be AUD $749.95 and NZD $859.95, while ones with will be AUD $829.95 and NZD $949.95. As for the new, lower disc drive prices, those will now be AUD $124.95 and NZD $139.95. Only these regions are affected so far. Sony didn’t mention any changes for countries in Asia or North America yet. It’s unknown if those could also be affected. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and standard model, as well as the PS5 disc drive, are available worldwide, and prices in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK go up on April 14, 2025.
