PS4 development kits cost about $2,500, but Sony is loaning many out for free

July 25th, 2013 Posted in General Sony, News, PS3, PS4, Xbox One Posted By: Austin

It?s no surprise to anyone that Sony is being extremely proactive in trying to secure developers for PS4 after the early-years-of-PS3 debacle where no one seemed to care about developing for it, and one of the ways they seem to be accomplishing that is by lending out PS4 development kits to ?favored developers? for free. A Sony spokesperson said that they?re attempting to be extremely flexible with indies, and one indie developer said ?they are handing them out like candy?.

But if you can?t get one on loan, how much should you expect to pay for a PS4 dev kit? Roughly $2,500, according to sources. That?s about $2,000 more than an Xbox One dev kit, and although Microsoft has a fee you have to pay to them in addition to that cost, it still comes in well below $1,000.

PS3 dev kits ranged from $1,000 to $10,000 last gen.
