PS5 Price Hike Pushes Quick Buys Across Retailers Before April Deadline

Sony will raise prices for the PS5 Slim Disc, PS5 Slim Digital, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal on April 2, 2026 (PS5 Slim Disc Edition from $550 to $650, PS5 Slim Digital Edition from $500 to $600, PS5 Pro from $750 to $900, PS Portal from $200 to $250). GameStop is offering an upgrade promo for Pro members to upgrade to PS5 Pro for $349 with extra trade-in credit, though a $25/year membership applies. Other retailers like Amazon, PlayStation Direct, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target still have stock at current prices before the hike, and bundles such as the PS5 Digital Edition Fortnite Bundle have deep discounts (around $400). Prospective buyers are advised to act before the April 2 deadline.
