After the PS5 launch, it is the second time Sony is raising the price while the last one was settled back, but this is a bigger bump than that. Let’s discuss it below.

Sony Announce To Increase Price of Both PlayStation 5 Edition

According to Sony’s announcement, this price rising is for both editions: the Digital Edition and the PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disk drive edition. And it will be implemented in the major region, which is Europe, the UK, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Canada. Besides, the United States is the major region for Sony, but it is the only one not included in the list of getting this price bump. And as a reason for this price bump, Sony points to the challenges in the global economic environment and high inflation rates.
