PS5 price climbs again worldwide as tariffs and helium-linked chip shortages bite
Sony is raising PS5 prices again worldwide due to tariffs and ongoing supply-chain pressures, with the US price jumping by $100 to $649.99 (digital edition $599.99) and PS5 Pro to $899.99, and similar increases in Europe, the UK and Japan; analysts note helium shortages tied to energy and chip production contribute to higher costs, pushing prices about 30% higher than a year ago.
