Sony has once again increased the prices of its popular gaming consoles PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and PlayStation Portal. This time the company has implemented new prices in many countries of South East Asia. However, there is relief news for Indian gamers at the moment, because no price has been increased in India yet. The company says that this decision has been taken due to global economic pressure and rising costs. Before this, prices have also been increased in America, Europe, Britain and Japan. The new prices will be applicable from May 1, 2026.
Sony has increased the prices of PlayStation 5 in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam. In Singapore, the standard PS5 will now be available for SGD 849, while the price of PS5 Pro has been reduced to SGD 1,167. The new price of PS5 in Malaysia has become MYR 2,799 and the price of PS5 Pro has become MYR 3,999. Even in Thailand, PS5, PS5 Digital Edition and PS5 Pro have all become expensive. Similarly, new prices have also been implemented in Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
Sony has increased the price of not only the console but also the PlayStation Portal. This device works as a remote player for PS5. Its price in Singapore has now become SGD 347. In Malaysia it will be available for MYR 1,099, while in Thailand it has been fixed at THB 8,380 and in Indonesia it has been fixed at IDR 5,199,000. PlayStation Portal is very popular among gamers who want to play their PS5 games in different parts of the house.
So far, Sony has not made any announcement about increasing the price of PS5, PS5 Pro or PlayStation Portal in India. This has brought relief to Indian gamers for the time being. However, the company has clearly said that this decision has been taken due to global economic challenges. In such a situation, prices can be reviewed in other markets including India in the coming months. If you are planning to buy PS5, it might be wise to buy at the current price.
