 Sony announces PlayStation 5 price, release date September 17, 2020 - 11:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 will cost $499.99 when it launches on November 12, alongside the $399.99 Digital Edition, The Verge reports.

That November 12 release date will apply to the U.S., Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, with the rest of the world getting the new console on November 19. Sony also notes that it has yet to finalize a release date for China, which it’ll announce at a later time. For comparison, the PlayStation 4 cost $399 at launch, although it currently sells for $299, while the PlayStation 4 Pro originally sold for $399, a price it still sells at today outside of major sales like Black Friday.
