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.

    The PS5 SKUs with a disk drive are staying the same.

    What SKU still has a disk drive? I thought both the slim and pro were optical disk-less?

      Just quoting the source blog. I’m guessing the phat non-digital SKU is either still in production or still in stock.
