Without fuss, Sony may have revealed the price of the PlayStation 5 in Brazil — R$6,999! Well, at least that’s what the sale announcement on the brand’s official store on Shopee suggested, being a pre-sale page. In the description, there is no release date, but the company asks for at least “45 days” to deliver the console.
Despite being sudden, the revelation does not surprise the community. Previously, the speculated price for the PlayStation 5 Pro reached R$8,000, even without any official suggestion from Sony other than the price in US dollars. Part of this bet was based on the idea of adding taxes and duties, which would essentially easily multiply the US$700 charged in the United States — something very close to reality.
And it’s not just in Brazil that the price seems much higher than it should be! Internationally, the PlayStation 5 Pro caused controversy due to its terrible value for moneyunder the allegations that it would not offer enough innovations as required. Part of the community also questioned the absence of new original titles for the console, criticizing Sony’s insistence on focusing on Remakes or Remasters.
PS5 Pro vale R$ 6.999?
In practice, the answer is a little more complicated than it should be. While the price is aggressive and unattractive to the consumer, much of it is due to the increased production costs of the PlayStation 5 Pro. However, the “Professional” model does not come with the disc player or even the base for vertical mounting.
The lack of accessories, combined with a small library of titles benefiting from graphical improvementsmake the PS5 Pro’s value for money case quite difficult to defend. In practice, the console will be aimed at a strict segment of enthusiasts who, above all, value an impeccable visual presentation.

On the other hand, it is also important to highlight that Sony has not issued any statement regarding the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro in Brazil or the Shopee announcement. Therefore, it is important to treat the information sparingly — as it may be a “dummy” price, that is, to fill space until the official release.
