Sony Temporarily Slashes Prices on PlayStation 5 During Special Sale Event
Exciting Price Cuts on PlayStation 5 Announced by Sony
Sony has officially announced a limited-time sale event, titled Days of Play, running from May 28 through June 11. During this period, customers can take advantage of significant discounts on the latest gaming console, the PlayStation 5, available exclusively through the official PlayStation Direct store.
Special Bundles and Savings in the US
According to Sony’s official blog, a special Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Bundle will be available in the United States. This bundle includes a PlayStation 5 console — both disc and digital editions — bundled with the popular game. Prices start at just $400 for the digital version, offering savings of up to $120 compared to purchasing the console and game separately. This deal provides a fantastic opportunity for gamers to get a premium gaming experience at a reduced cost.
European and Asian Discounts
In Europe and Asia, both the digital and standard versions of the PlayStation 5 will also see price reductions, with the digital edition starting at approximately €400. However, Sony has yet to release a comprehensive list of all discounted models available across these regions, so consumers are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates.
Additional Savings on Accessories and VR Equipment
Beyond the consoles, Sony is offering discounts on a range of accessories. The PlayStation VR2 headset and the Horizon Call of the Mountain VR bundle will each see a price reduction of $50. Additionally, popular controllers such as the DualSense, DualSense Edge, and Access, along with wireless headphones Pulse Explore, will also be available at lower prices, making it easier for gamers to enhance their setup without overspending.
Background: Price Hikes and Market Fluctuations
It’s worth noting that prior to this sale, Sony increased the prices of the PlayStation 5 in several regions, including Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. On average, the console’s price rose by approximately 10%, reflecting ongoing market adjustments and supply chain considerations.
