The £ has dropped by 30% against the dollar and has dropped from $1.16 to $1.03 in less than a month.
Expect price hikes for British gamers. When the PS5 launched, it was £375 before tax (£450 after tax). At this new exchange rate, that means British gamers were only paying $386 for the $500 PS5 disc edition.
Sony already increased the price by £30 but that is no way near enough. At this new exchange rate, Sony would need to increase the price by another £105 just to match the price of a PS5 in the USA. (£582 after tax, which is £485 pre-tax).
