Sony Group Corp. raised the price of its PlayStation 5 console by around 25% in Europe and in the UK ahead of a likely US increase.
The company announced the decision on its PlayStation blog, with Australia and New Zealand also affected, citing inflation and “a backdrop of a challenging economic environment.” The PS5 will cost €500 in Europe and £430 in the UK from Monday.
Yeah WTF? Obviously the rest of the world needs to suffer for the cost increase in the US… Maybe now is the time to preorder a Switch 2 before Nintendo change their worldwide pricing. It’s cheaper than $450 USD here in Australia right now.
