It seems that the PS5 Digital Version has been topic to essentially the most notable modifications, with a value improve for the disc-based PS5 restricted to Australia and New Zealand. They’re all efficient instantly, with Sony blaming the choice on a “difficult financial surroundings, together with excessive inflation and fluctuating trade charges”.
Here is a have a look at the modifications in query:
