Sony is now raising PS5 and PlayStation Portal prices in Southeast Asia

Following recent price hikes in the US, UK, Europe, and Japan, Sony has now announced new pricing for the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal across Southeast Asian markets. The new prices will bring these regions in line with global console pricing and will take effect May 1st, covering the PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal in selected markets.

The Southeast Asia update covers Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The biggest price jump is seen in Indonesia, where the PlayStation Portal will now sell for IDR 5,199,000, up 44.5% from IDR 3,599,000.

For consoles, the largest confirmed increase is in the Philippines, where the standard PS5 moves from PHP 30,790 to PHP 40,032, a 30% increase. Vietnam follows with a 27.1% increase for the standard PS5, from VND 13,300,000 to VND 16,900,000.

Here are the updated PS5 and PS5 Pro prices across Southeast Asian markets:

Singapore

PlayStation Portal pricing has also increased across the following regions:

• Singapore - SGD 347
• Malaysia - MYR 1,099

Sony once again cites ongoing pressures in the global economic landscape, using the same statement from its earlier global price update. Vice President of Global Marketing, Isabelle Tomatis, says the decision was made after careful evaluation and describes it as a "necessary step." This marks Sony's second major PS5 price hike in under a year, with the standard model now $100 more expensive than at launch.
