Last Chance Alert: PlayStation 5 Prices Set to Rise – Don't Miss Out!

Starting Thursday, April 2nd, all Sony PlayStation 5 gaming consoles will see a price increase of up to $150 across all models.

This increase, the second in less than a year, comes ahead of the busy summer season, so it’s recommended to get a PS5 now before prices go up. Right now, you can get the PS5 Digital Edition for $499.99 on Amazon and Walmart. Come Thursday, April 2nd, the same console will be $599.99. It is recommended to add to cart before the price increase.

The PS5 Digital Edition, which is an all-digital version of the PS5 console with no disc drive, features a much slimmer and sleeker design, compact enough to take with you anywhere.

Go to the PlayStation Store to buy and download your favorite games, then play them in up to 4K quality on your TV. This PS5 console also supports HDR technology, which displays your games in sharper and more vivid colors. 1TB of storage means there’s plenty of space for your titles, while the ultra-fast SSD means more playtime and less lag. The console includes a DualSense wireless controller with haptic feedback for a more immersive gaming experience (the stand is sold separately).

The classic PS5 with a disc drive is priced at $549 on Amazon and Walmart, but it will soon be $649.99 at the same retailers.

The console boasts many of the same features as the Digital Edition, with 1TB of SSD storage, a high frame rate of up to 120fps for smoother gameplay, haptic feedback on the included controller and adaptive triggers. This model also allows for “Backwards Compatibility,” meaning your PS5 console can play more than 4,000 old PS4 games. Of course, the addition of the disc drive means you can also use this as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player.

Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro is also going up in price to $899.99. Currently, Amazon and Walmart both have the console priced at $749.99.

The new pro model features advanced ray tracing for in-game shadows, reflections, and illuminations. This adds to improved graphics and realism, while adding deeper immersion to feel more true to life. It has double the on-board storage capacity with 2TB instead of 1TB, while the PS5 Pro has faster Wi-Fi connectivity for speedy game downloads, stronger cloud gaming, and quick data transfers.

Additionally, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player goes up in price from $200 to $250 starting on Thursday, April 2nd. However, you can get the device for $199 at Walmart and Amazon.

The PS Portal allows you to play your games from your console remotely via Wi-Fi. It also lets you access games on the PlayStation Plus Premium platform for cloud gaming.
