Starting Thursday, you can expect to pay more for a new PlayStation, thanks to "a challenging economic environment."

Sony's decision to raise PS5 prices is not an isolated incident. Other gaming companies, including Nintendo and Microsoft, have also increased the prices of their consoles and peripherals. The move is largely attributed to economic challenges such as supply chain issues and manufacturing costs exacerbated by US import taxes.

With PlayStation set to increase PS5 console prices this week, this Call of Duty PS5 Slim bundle deal offers even better value now.

Sony has announced that it will increase the recommended retail price of the PlayStation 5 in the US. In a post on the official PlayStation Blog, the manufacturer stated that "a challenging economic environment" has led to the "difficult decision" of increasing the price of all PS5 consoles by $50.

Sony responds to Sony's $50 PS5 price hike with targeted trade-in promotion, highlighting retail tensions amid tariff pressures.
