Sony Raises PS5 Prices in Several Regions - IGN Daily Fix

In today's Daily Fix:
Sony is raising the price of select models of the PS5 in several regions, except the U.S. This is likely to counter the expected U.S. tariffs that could his the gaming industry hard in the coming months. The U.S. is the PS5's largest territory and Sony would want to protect the region from rising costs, but that means making up the difference elsewhere. In other news, Call of Duty: Warzone received a shot in the arm as the original Verdansk map has proven to be a hit with fans. The game saw a spike in concurrent players and positive feedback, and Activision has teased more Verdansk-related content in the future. And speaking of shots in the arm, Assassin's Creed Shadows is proving to be the boost that Ubisoft has needed. While it's not the franchise's biggest launch ever, it is currently the second-best-selling game of the year, behind Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds. The game also saw two million players in its first weekend, and strong reviews from critics and longtime fans.
