Sony raised the price of its PlayStation 5 consoles on April 2, with the cheapest model now starting at an MSRP of $600. However, the Fortnite Flowering Chaos PS5 Bundle remains available on PlayStation Direct for the previous sale price of $400. The bundle features the all-digital edition without a disc drive and includes exclusive cosmetics for Fortnite.
Sony officially increased PlayStation 5 prices effective April 2. The new MSRP for the base model starts at $600, reflecting recent adjustments in console pricing. Despite the hike, PlayStation Direct continues to offer the Fortnite Flowering Chaos PS5 Bundle at $400, which Sony describes as providing savings of $200. This bundle pairs the disc-less digital console with PlayStation-exclusive cosmetics for Epic Games' Fortnite battle royale. GameStop previously listed the same bundle at $400 but shows it as out of stock. Retailers may be clearing existing inventory before aligning with the new pricing. The deal arrives ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6's launch later this year, which will not be available on PC at release and lacks a confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 port. Sony's move provides a narrow window for consumers seeking the console at the lower price point.
