In the United Kingdom, the new price will be £ 430 ($ 565), earlier than £ 389, when the price in Australia will rise 749 Australian dollars ($ 474) from $ 649. New Zealand prices will rise to 859 New Zealand dollar ($ 504).

Sony said that the price of Europe and the United Kingdom for Standard PlayStation, published in 2021, which brings the Blu-ray disc drive, will remain unchanged, as it will be the price of the PS5 Pro version published last year.
