The console's $700 US launch price is attracting considerable attention, but international consumers face even steeper costs.

Japanese gamers will pay 119,980 yen (approximately $847 USD), while European consumers face a price tag of $799.99, and UK customers £699.99. These prices significantly exceed the equivalent of $700 in their respective currencies, prompting many to consider importing the console from the US to save money.

While pre-order details remain scarce, the PS5 Pro is expected to be available through PlayStation Direct, Sony's online store, and major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
