PS5 Price Rises Again in Europe, Australia, New Zealand

Author : Joshua May 23,2025

Sony has announced an increase in the recommended retail prices (RRPs) for PlayStation 5 consoles in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, attributing the change to the current "challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates." This adjustment was officially communicated through a post on the PlayStation Blog.

The new RRPs, effective from April 14, are as follows:

  • Europe:

    • PS5 Digital Edition: €500 (The price of the standard PS5 with disc drive remains unchanged.)
  • UK:

    • PS5 Digital Edition: £430 (The price of the standard PS5 with disc drive remains unchanged.)
  • Australia:

    • Standard PS5 with disc drive: AUD $830
    • PS5 Digital Edition: AUD $750
  • New Zealand:

    • Standard PS5 with disc drive: NZD $950
    • PS5 Digital Edition: NZD $860

Notably, the price of the PS5 Pro has not been altered.

This follows a series of price adjustments made in 2022, making the PS5 significantly more expensive in these regions compared to its initial launch prices. In Europe and the UK, the PS5 Digital Edition is now €100 and £70 more expensive, respectively, than at launch (up from €400 and £360). In Australia, the standard PS5 has increased by AUD $80 from its launch price of AUD $750, while the digital edition has risen by AUD $150 from AUD $600. In New Zealand, the standard PS5 is NZD $130 more than its launch price of NZD $820, and the digital version has seen an increase of NZD $210 from NZD $650.

Interestingly, the RRP of the PS5 disc drive is being reduced to €80/£70/AUD $125/NZD $140.
