This holiday shopping season has been particularly good to PlayStation gamers. We’ve already seen some record-low prices on PS5 consoles and accessories, and the savings are far from over. Sony is also having a massive holiday sale at the PlayStation Store, where you’ll find discounts on some of the hottest games of the year, as well as DLCs and add-ons. These deals are already available to PlayStation Plus subscribers and will be open to everyone starting at 12 a.m. PT (3 a.m. ET) tomorrow, Dec. 20.
And while they’re not a part of this specific sale, Sony is offering some great discounts on consoles and accessories right now — along with Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers. We’ve rounded up the best of those offers below, along with some of the best PlayStation titles you can pick up at a discount. Just note that these game deals will only be available through Jan. 17, and console and accessory deals could vanish or sell out at any point. Because of that, we recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these holiday offers.
Best PS5 console and accessory deals
You’ll find consoles on sale for record-low prices right now, as well as plenty of other excellent offers on headsets, game drives and more accessories. Just note that, because these offers aren’t part of Sony’s official holiday sale, they could sell out or expire at any time. Also, pay close attention to shipping times, as many of these items won’t be delivered in time for Christmas (though some are still available for in-store pickup).
This year’s holiday sales brought record-low prices on Sony’s popular next-gen consoles. This price is for the Slim edition of the full-size console with a disk drive and 1TB of storage. The more affordable Digital Edition is also on sale for $374 if you don’t need a disk drive.
The PlayStation VR 2 is one of our favorite virtual reality headsets on the market, and right now you can pick it up at a record-low price. It features an excellent OLED display, a comfortable design and advanced controllers with immersive feedback. Plus, this bundle comes with Horizon Call of the Mountain, one of the best PSVR 2 games available and a $60 value on its own. Just note that a PlayStation 5 console is required to use the PSVR 2.
With so many great games to choose from, the PS5’s 1TB solid-state drive can fill up pretty quickly. Fortunately, it’s equipped with an extra internal drive slot, so you can easily expand it with an M.2 SSD. The Samsung 990 Pro is one of our favorite models overall on the market, and right now you can even pick it up at a great discount. This model also features a built-in heatsink, which was missing in previous generations.
