Sony Launches PS5 Days of Play Deals Shortly After Price Increase

PlayStation’s Days of Play event is making a comeback—mark your calendar for May 28. I mean, just a month after jacking up the PS5 prices, they’re rolling out discounts. Feels a bit ironic, doesn’t it? Anyway, here’s the scoop: from May 28 to June 11, you can snag deals on PS5 stuff like DualSense controllers and games. Titles include Astro Bot, MLB The Show 25, and Lego Horizon Adventures. Who even dreams up these titles? Oh, and these discounts? Only in “select regions.” Whatever that means.

Check direct.playstation.com or maybe some local shop around the corner. In the US and Canada, that PS5 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Bundle—yep, both digital and standard—is getting slashed. Starts at $399.99 USD or $509.99 CAD. The fancy PlayStation 5 Pro gets a $50 cut too.

Jumping over across the pond, Europe and Asia join the discount party. Prices dip to €399.99, £339.99, or ¥65,980. The whole world kinda feels like it’s gaming. Or maybe that’s just me.

Speaking of accessories—expect markdowns there too. And Sony, being Sony, throws in PlayStation Plus membership deals during this bonanza. If you’ve been eyeing that subscription to jump to Elite status, now’s your chance. Up to 33% off if you do it during the event. Switching tiers? You save 33% as an incentive.

Digital games and add-ons are also on sale: check out A Plague Tale: Requiem, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Ragnarök Edition—try saying that ten times fast—plus a bunch more. Spider-Man, Mortal Kombat, Octopath Traveler, you name it. Basically, if it’s a recent game, it’s got a price cut. Ready, set, game!
