PS5 prices rise, digital edition up $200 in six years amid memory shortages

Sony\'s PlayStation 5 prices have risen sharply rather than falling late in the console cycle, Engadget reported. The PS5 Digital Edition increased to $599 from $399 over six years, while the disc model rose to $649 from $499. Sony changed the lineup with the Slim model without performance gains and implemented two rounds of price hikes in 2025 and 2026. The report cited industry-wide NAND and RAM shortages and rising memory costs as key factors.
