PlayStation 5 consoles will receive a price hike on Thursday, making the Sony game system the latest product to become more expensive as the market grapples with a shifting tariff landscape.

Sony, the parent company of PlayStation, announced the price increase on Wednesday, giving consumers a day's notice before raising the prices by $50. The most expensive and graphically powerful console, the PS5 Pro, will now go for $749.99 in the United States.

The announcement did not mention President Donald Trump’s tariffs, only saying PlayStation is navigating “a challenging economic environment.” Last month, Trump announced a trade deal with Japan, Sony’s home country, which enforces a 15% reciprocal tariff .

The Washington Examiner has contacted PlayStation for comment.
