Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced today that starting from May 1, 2026 (this Friday), it will officially adjust the recommended retail price of the Hong Kong version of the PS5 series. This price adjustment covers the disc version of PS5, digital version of PS5, PS5 Pro and PS Portal remote control game console, with significant increases for each product.
The specific new retail prices are as follows:
Optical drive version of PS5: raised from HK$3,780 to HK$4,730, an increase of HK$950
Digital version of PS5: raised from HK$2,980 to HK$4,257, an increase of HK$1,277
PS5 Pro: raised from HK$5,780 to HK$6,502, an increase of HK$722
PS Portal: raised from HK$1,580 to HK$1,936, an increase of HK$356
Among them, the digital version of PS5 has the largest increase, exceeding 1,200 Hong Kong dollars, while the disc version and PS5 Pro have also increased by nearly 1,000 yuan and 700 yuan respectively.
Sony explained the reason for the price increase in an official announcement: "Facing continued pressure from the global economic situation, we have decided to increase the prices of PS5, PS5 Pro and PlayStation Portal remote control game consoles globally. We are well aware that price changes will affect the player base, but after careful evaluation, we believe this is a necessary step to ensure that we can continue to provide innovative and high-quality gaming experiences to players around the world."
It is worth noting that Sony had already raised the price of PS5 products in other regions on April 2 this year. At that time, Hong Kong did not participate in the first round of price adjustments. This Hong Kong version price adjustment can be seen as a complement and follow-up to the global price increase strategy.
