GameStop’s used PS5 Pro pricing has climbed to $1,399.99 in the US, according to new reports. So, that literally puts a pre-owned console $500 above the $899.99 retail price of a brand-new unit, as buyers face limited stock.
In brief:
- GameStop’s reported pre-owned PS5 Pro price is $1,399.99.
- A new console has a US retail price of $899.99.
- GameStop Pro members get a lower price of $1,329.99, according to the report.
GameStop’s Used PS5 Pro Price Surpasses New Consoles
GameStop updated its website with the higher price on October 6. Even with the Pro membership discount, buyers would pay $430 more than the retail price of a new console.
The same report also cited a leaked internal memo listing a used PS5 Pro with a disc drive at $1,499.99. And that memo reportedly described the decision to price used systems above new ones as intentional. Even Japan is facing a shortage of PS5 Pros, and some gamers even have to show their recent gaming history on PSN to secure a chance to buy a PS5 Pro before GTA 6 comes out.
PS5 Pro Stock Shortages Leave Buyers Facing Higher Prices
Availability is the catch. According to new reports, GameStop still listed new PS5 Pro consoles at $899.99, but buyers were unable to purchase them. The outlet linked the stock pressure to interest ahead of GTA 6, although its report provided no sales figures measuring that effect.
For casual gamers shopping for an upgrade, the gap is substantial. Paying $1,399.99 means spending roughly 56% above the new console’s retail price for pre-owned hardware.
Sony Already Raised the PS5 Pro Price This Year
The comparison comes after Sony’s own price increase. The PS5 Pro’s US retail price rose to $899.99 on April 2, 2026, alongside increases for other PlayStation hardware. The changes came amid rising component costs and pressure on memory chip supplies.
GameStop’s reported used price adds another $500 to that already higher benchmark, making stock availability an expensive problem for players hoping to buy now.
