Players are reporting that the PlayStation Store Spring Sale is using dynamic PS5 pricing in North America, causing concerns among US-based players who are being charged more for the same game as other accounts. The 'Cheap Ass Gamer' account, which claims to have been charging $26.99 for Astro Bot, was charged $39.59 for its same title, despite other accounts being charged $40.59. This disparity could mean some players are receiving a 55% discount on Astro Bot during the Spring Sale, while others are only receiving a 34%. Sony has not confirmed this change in pricing.
