GameStop Is Now Selling Used PS5 Pros For $1400

It’s getting more expensive and annoying to play and enjoy video games in 2026. Case in point, GameStop is now selling used PlayStation 5 Pro consoles for $1400 as the sought-after machines become harder and harder to find in the lead-up to Grand Theft Auto 6‘s launch.

On Monday, someone leaked on Reddit what appears to be an internal message that GameStop sent to stores, alerting employees that the company was increasing the price of several pre-owned variants of Sony’s more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro console. Currently, the PS5 Pro has a suggested retail price of $900, though good luck finding a store that actually has them in stock for that. GameStop’s memo suggested it would instead start charging anywhere from $1,400 to $1,500 for various versions of the PS5 Pro. Yes, that’s way more than the cost of a new PS5 Pro, something the alleged memo claims is “intentional.”

On October 6, GameStop updated the price of a standard edition pre-owned PS5 Pro on its website to $1,400, seemingly confirming the validity of the leaked memo. Currently, as of 9:30 a.m. ET, the pre-owned PS5 Pro on GameStop’s site is out of stock. A new PS5 Pro is still listed at $900 on GameStop’s site. It is also out of stock.

Kotaku has contacted GameStop for more information about this change and what’s behind it.

Some former GameStop employees have suggested the reason for the massive price increase on used consoles is because GameStop, like everyone else in the world, is struggling to get their hands on new PS5 Pros.
