GameStop raises used PS5 Pro to $1,400 on October 6, 2026

The used listing was reportedly sold out when the article went live, so it is unclear whether the $1,400 price was actually available for purchase.

Kotaku linked the price jump to a leaked internal memo that reportedly surfaced on Reddit. That memo was said to mention prices for some pre-owned PS5 Pro variants between $1,400 and $1,500, but the document’s authenticity has not been confirmed.

What happened

Kotaku wrote that GameStop had updated the price of a pre-owned standard PS5 Pro on its website to $1,400 on October 6, 2026. The article said this was a used listing, not a new console.

In the same snapshot, a new PS5 Pro was still listed at $900, according to Kotaku. That put the used console above the price of a new unit in that view.

The publication also said the pre-owned PS5 Pro listing was sold out at the time of publication, which makes it unclear whether customers could still buy the console at that price.

Kotaku also referenced a leaked internal memo that was reportedly shared on Reddit. In that memo, stores were said to have seen instructions for pre-owned PS5 Pro prices between $1,400 and $1,500, but there is no independent confirmation of the document in the information provided.

Background

The reporting fits into a broader discussion about PS5 Pro availability and pricing. Kotaku also mentioned the lead-up to Grand Theft Auto 6 as context, but the available information does not confirm a direct cause for the price increase.

Other reporting in the supplied context mentions similar figures of around $1,399.99 to $1,499.99 for used PS5 Pro models. That suggests a price range, but not one fixed price confirmed across all stores.

The biggest open question is whether the leaked memo really came from GameStop. It is also unclear whether the $1,400 price applied only to one listing or to multiple pre-owned PS5 Pro variants.
