Sony has confirmed that every single version of the PS5 will get a price hike starting tomorrow, August 21, 2025.

Not only did they cause Nintendo to delay pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the country, but we've seen console price hikes from Xbox which increased the price of an Xbox Series X to $600 and announced a price increase for games (which it later ran back) and Nintendo bumped up the price of the original Switch, with the Switch 2 only getting accessory prices increased.
