Sony Interactive Entertainment is raising the prices of the PS5 console, PlayStation VR2 headset, and various accessories in Japan on September 2, 2024. "We have come to this decision based on the impact of recent changes in the global economy and challenging external influences on our business," stated SIE in a Japanese PlayStation Blog post.

Standard PS5 consoles will now retail from ¥66,980 ($463) to ¥79,980 ($553), while the PS5 Digital console price will increase from ¥59,980 ($415) to ¥72,980 ($504).
