Days of Play has historically served as a vital sales catalyst for the PS5, landing squarely in the middle of the year and propelling Sony’s console sales ahead of the Black Friday and holiday rush.
This year, while the PlayStation Store is expected to see a healthy volume of software sales, there will be no console discount deals to sweeten the package.
As anticipated, Sony’s decision to hike the price of its platforms in April has left the market with a higher entry cost for the PS5, even six years after the console’s debut.
During last year’s Days of Play, the PS5 Digital Edition was available for $399.99 (or £339.99 / €399.99). This year, the identical model now commands a steep $599.99 (or £519.99 / €599.99), marking a dramatic price surge.
During last year’s Days of Play event, the PS5 Pro received its first price cut, sliding to $649.99 (USD), £649.99 (GBP), and €749.99 (EUR). This year, however, the console will be priced higher at $899.99 (USD), £789.99 (GBP), and €899.99 (EUR).
Sony has announced discounts on the PSVR2 headset and DualSense controllers, but the PS Portal handheld will not see any price reductions.
These moves come amid a challenging economic backdrop marked by tariffs and escalating component prices—factors largely beyond the company’s control.
Historically, Days of Play has been a vibrant period for PlayStation, offering fans a prime opportunity to acquire new hardware at attractive prices.
