Sony will increase prices of its PlayStation 5 consoles in the U.S. starting April 2, with the disc and digital editions rising by $100 and the PS5 Pro by $150. The price hikes are driven by surging memory chip costs, a key component of the console, as demand from AI data centers tightens supply. Sony also raised prices in Japan, the U.K., and Europe. Industry experts suggest other console makers like Microsoft and Nintendo may follow due to ongoing component cost pressures and inflation risks from geopolitical tensions.
