Used PS5 Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

Buying a used console usually saves money, but the PS5 Pro has turned that rule upside down. In October 2026 GameStop raised its pre-owned price for the PS5 Pro to a level above what Sony charges for a new one, and BGR and GameRiv both reported the change. That makes the Pro the clearest used-PS5 price to track right now.

The figures below come from BGR, with a second report from GameRiv dated October 8, 2026. Used prices change often and depend on the seller and the console's condition, so check the live listing before you buy.

The pre-owned Digital Edition costs $1,399.99 at GameStop, and the disc-drive version costs $1,499.99. BGR reports that GameStop raised the pre-owned prices recently.

A new PS5 Pro from Sony is listed at $899.99, which is lower than either used price above, though BGR notes the console has been hard to find in stock. A used unit at GameStop only makes sense if you cannot get a new one at a lower price.

For the standard console, Walmart lists the PS5 Slim Digital Edition at $599 and the Slim with a disc drive at $649 when new. Those are new prices, and they show how little room there is between new and used for the base consoles.

Six months before the October increase, in April 2026, GameStop was charging $807.49 for a used PS5 Pro, according to BGR. The current figures are well above that earlier price.

BGR connects the climb partly to Sony's own price increases and limited supply of new consoles. When new units are scarce, buyers turn to used ones, and sellers can charge more.

Used standard PS5 prices vary widely by model, storage, whether the console has a disc drive, condition and who sells it. Resale marketplaces, trade-in stores, local listings and refurbished programs all price differently, and a console with a controller and cables included costs more than one sold on its own. Compare several sellers rather than relying on a single listing, and check recent sold listings if the marketplace shows them.

A refurbished console from the manufacturer or a retailer is a different product from a used one, since it has usually been inspected and may carry a warranty. Availability and prices for refurbished units change, and they can sell out. If a new console is in stock at a similar price to a used one, new is often the simpler choice, because you get a full warranty and no history to worry about.

• The console model and whether it has a disc drive.
• Storage size and any included controller, cables and box.
• Whether the console is signed out of the previous owner's account.
• The seller's return policy and any warranty.
• Condition, including fan noise, ports and disc drive operation.

Store return windows and warranties differ by retailer, so read the terms before you pay. A private sale usually has no warranty, so test the console before you hand over money.
