A new rumor circulating from a French retail source suggests that Sony could be preparing another round of price adjustments for PlayStation 5 hardware in Europe. The leaked listings indicate potential prices of €649.99 for the PS5 Slim, €899.99 for the PS5 Pro, and €249.99 for the PlayStation Portal.

While the PS5 Slim has already been seen near the €650 mark in certain bundles, the rumored pricing would signal a more consistent baseline at that level. The PS5 Pro, which launched closer to €800, would see a notable jump if it reaches €899.99, positioning it firmly as a premium console. Meanwhile, the PlayStation Portal, typically available around €200 depending on promotions, could also see a modest increase if the €249.99 figure reflects a new standard price or a refreshed model.

Retail leaks of this kind are not uncommon in the gaming industry and do not always translate directly into confirmed pricing. However, they often precede official announcements or reflect early adjustments within distribution channels. Sony has raised PS5 prices multiple times in recent years across various regions, including both Europe and the United States, frequently citing inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, and rising component costs as key factors behind the decisions.

At this stage, the reported figures remain unconfirmed, and Sony has yet to comment publicly on any potential changes. As with previous price adjustments, official confirmation would likely come through the company’s own channels, while actual retail pricing could vary depending on bundles, regional taxes, and promotional offers. For now, the listings serve as an early signal that further price shifts may be under consideration, leaving European consumers watching closely for any formal updates.
