Sony’s U.S. recommended retail price for the base PlayStation 5 is $649.99, effective April 2, 2026. That price change came before Grand Theft Auto VI’s scheduled November 19, 2026 release on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The figure is Sony’s suggested price—not a guarantee of what a retailer currently charges or whether a console is in stock.

Sony attributed the increase to “continued pressures in the global economic landscape.” That is the company’s stated rationale; the announcement does not quantify how much any particular cost or market factor contributed.
