Citing the global economic situation as a reason, Sony has officially decided to increase the prices of its PlayStation 5 consoles and PlayStation Portal devices in Canada. These adjustments go into effect as of the second of April.
The updated Canadian recommended retail prices for PS5 consoles are as follows:
- Standard – CAD $819.99
- Digital – CAD $749.99
- PS5 PRO – CAD $1,099.99
An update to the PlayStation Portal remote player will also be made, with a recommended retail price of CAD $319.99.
As mentioned, these price increases will go into effect in several days. There’s a brief grace period for those who are planning to buy one of the above, so act now if you can and want to. After all, this is a big increase.
Edit: The prices have also gone up in other regions, as you can see below:
