GameStop Raises Refurbished PS5 Pro Price to $1,399.99

The used console now costs $500 more than before, and more than a new PS5 Pro's $899 MSRP, according to Tom's Hardware.

GameStop has raised the price of refurbished PS5 Pro consoles to $1,399.99, up from the previous $800, according to Tom's Hardware. The new price is now visible on the retailer's website.

The increase makes a used PS5 Pro at GameStop 55% more expensive than the $899 MSRP the company lists for a new unit. A leaked memo reportedly told GameStop employees that the higher price of used consoles versus new ones is intentional, and a r/GameStop subreddit moderator has confirmed the validity of the leaked post.

New PS5 Pro stock remains difficult to find. Best Buy and Walmart list new consoles in stock at $1,496.01 and $1,554.99, respectively. Sony, GameStop and Target are out of stock of new PS5 Pro units, which they list at $899.99.

Background

The PS5 Pro launched with an MSRP of $749.99 earlier this year, but that figure has since risen to $899.00 amid chip shortages, while RAM prices have increased by 500% over the past 12 months. Rockstar's GTA VI, which began pre-selling in June 2026 and is anticipated to launch in November, is not targeting 60 FPS at launch.
