GameStop Jacks Up Used PS5 Pro Price to $1,400 Before GTA 6

Thinking about grabbing a used PS5 Pro before GTA 6 drops? You might want to sit down for this one.

GameStop has hiked the price of a pre-owned PS5 Pro by 55%, bringing it all the way up to $1,400. Yes, you read that right — fourteen hundred dollars for a console that isn't even new.

The timing here is hard to ignore. GTA 6 is on the horizon, and demand for PlayStation hardware is expected to spike as players gear up for what's shaping up to be one of the biggest launches in gaming history. GameStop appears to be getting ahead of that rush.

A 55% jump is steep no matter how you slice it. Pre-owned consoles are usually the budget-friendly route, the option you take when you want to save a few bucks. At $1,400, though, that logic goes right out the window — you're paying well above what a brand-new PS5 Pro typically costs.

For anyone holding out for a deal, this is a rough signal. If retailers are already testing prices like this before GTA 6 even lands, the months ahead could get ugly for your wallet. It's a reminder that hype doesn't just move software — it moves hardware prices too.

Whether other retailers follow GameStop's lead is the big question. For now, this stands as one of the clearest signs yet that the run-up to GTA 6 is already reshaping the market.
