On the heels of yesterday's report, Sony today announced that it will indeed be raising the prices of PlayStation hardware. The prices go into effect on April 2, 2026.

The company confirms an increase of $100 in the United States: the PS5 disc edition will now cost $650 (+30% over launch price), the PS5 digital is now at $600 (+50% increase over launch), and the PS5 Pro is now a whopping $900 (+27% over launch price).

The PS Portal handheld is also getting a price hike in the US, tacking on +$50 to the total.

In the past, Sony had telegraphed that it may not raise prices of its hardware, instead focusing on monetizing its user base with more content and games. However, Sony obviously is being squeezed by the ongoing chip shortage, which has reduced profitability of all its consoles--especially the more costly-to-produce PS5 Pro model.
