Summary
- PS5 Pro consoles are sold out across Germany.
- Grand Theft Auto VI is a significant driver of demand.
- Prices for the PS5 Pro have increased significantly.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is experiencing sell-outs across Germany, with the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI identified as a major factor contributing to the demand. This surge in interest has led to a noticeable increase in the console's price within the country.
Retailers such as Amazon Germany and Idealo are listing the PS5 Pro for prices around €999.99, considerably higher than Sony's recommended retail price of €899.99. Furthermore, availability is extremely limited, with shipping estimated to take several months. Sony's official PlayStation Direct store in Germany also indicates the console is currently unavailable for purchase directly from the manufacturer.
With the marketing campaign for Grand Theft Auto VI intensifying over the summer, showcasing the game prominently on the PS5 Pro, it is unsurprising that demand for Sony's premium console has escalated significantly. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
