Sony is once again raising the price of the PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal hardware, and consumers are rushing to purchase the console (or trade theirs in for a better model) before this price increase goes into effect on April 2. Now, gaming retailer GameStop has entered the fray, looking to connect players with Sony’s hardware before the price goes up for good.
“We heard the news,” GameStop shared in a recent post on X. “On April 2, 2026, Sony will raise the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro to $899.99. We’re here to help. GameStop stores nationwide are now offering extra credit on all hardware, so whether you’re trading in a base PS5 for a PS5 Pro or dusting off an old console, now’s your chance to beat the change and upgrade for less.”
GameStop followed up with another post advertising its upgrade program. “Upgrade to a PS5 Pro now for just $349,” the post reads. “While you still can.” A look at the fine print clarifies that this deal is only available to GameStop Pro members. GameStop’s loyalty program offers a number of benefits (like extra credit on trade-ins), but membership costs $25 per year.
