Today Is the Last Day You Can Save up to $150 on the PS5 Before Prices Skyrocket.
Gas prices aren’t the only thing rising. Starting tomorrow, April 2, prices for all PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Portal consoles will increase by a whopping $150. This isn’t surprising, as we’ve been hearing about rising chip and storage costs for years; add tariffs and continued strong demand for consoles, and the picture begins to unravel.
Luckily, it’s not too late: you can still save up to $150 by buying refurbished consoles directly from PlayStation Direct , which come with a one-year warranty and have been tested to work like new if you act quickly.
Here are all the consoles you can still buy today before the price hike goes into effect:
Going forward, the base model PS5 Slim will cost $649.99, but today you can get a refurbished version for $449 . If you don’t mind downloading games and playing them from the cloud, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition will cost $599.99 tomorrow, but today you can get a refurbished version for $399 . The original, non-Slim version with disc consoles, a refurbished version of the PS5 with 825GB of storage, is $399 today.
The biggest price increase will affect the PS5 Pro . It costs $749 today, and will go up to $899.99 tomorrow. The PlayStation Portal remote controller also saw a price hike—it’s currently priced at $199 , but starting tomorrow, its price will rise to $249.
If you’re interested in bundles, the Fortnite PS5 bundle is $449 and will likely increase in price starting tomorrow. The Fortnite PS5 digital bundle is currently priced at $399 and will likely increase in price tomorrow.
