Today, Sony announced pricing changes for its PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal consoles across South Korea and Southeast Asia, effective May 1, 2026. Sony cited "continued pressures in the global economic landscape" as the reason. This follows similar hikes already announced for North America, Brazil, Europe, and Japan, which came into effect on April 2, 2026.

As a reminder, the PlayStation 5 with a disc drive launched on November 12, 2020 at $499, while the digital edition was available at $399. It isn't the first time the system has received an increase in the United States: that already happened in August 2025 due to US tariffs. The PlayStation 5 Pro, which launched on November 7, 2024 at $699, also got a price increase last year. The PlayStation Portal, on the other hand, debuted on November 15, 2023 and just received its first price hike.
