Sony Quietly Hikes DualSense Prices Worldwide – Here’s What You Need to Know 🎮💸
Looks like Sony just gave your wallet a surprise workout. Without any big flashy announcement, the price of the standard PS5 DualSense controller has gone up worldwide. Yeah, you read that right.
How Much More?
Starting September 9, 2024, the standard DualSense in colors like White, Starlight Blue, Galactic Purple, Cosmic Red, Midnight Black, and Gray Camouflage now costs $74.99 (up from $69.99). Even the premium colors like Sterling Silver, Cobalt Blue, and Volcanic Red saw a bump to $79.99. Not cool, right?
This price jump isn’t just in the U.S. either – the UK saw a £5 increase, and in Australia, it’s up by $10 AUD. And, no, there’s no increase for the actual PS5 console. 😅
Why the Silent Move?
Well, no official word from Sony yet. But the timing? 👀 It’s suspicious, especially with the recent price hike of the PS5 in Japan and rumors swirling about the PS5 Pro. Tomorrow, on September 10, there's a 9-minute stream with Mark Cerny (PS4 lead architect) that might finally give us some clarity. 📺🎤
Could this be tied to the long-awaited PS5 Pro reveal? Probably. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s showcase!
TL;DR
- DualSense price increased by $5 worldwide for standard colorways, $10 for premium.
- UK and Australia saw price bumps too.
- No change for the PS5 console price (yet).
- Possible PS5 Pro announcement coming soon.
Time to save up, or maybe wait to see what’s next for the PS5 Pro. 👀🕹️
