The PS5 and a ton of games like Spider-Man 2 are on sale now

The PlayStation 5 I never officially had a price drop, but Sony continues to discount the console so aggressively that it’s basically the same thing. As part of its annual Days of Play sales event, the company is offering $50 off the regular price of PS5s. Recent exclusives like Spider-Man 2 And Rise of the Ronin also benefit from significant discounts.

Details of the Days of Play 2024 sale have been published on the PlayStation Blog Today. Running from May 29 to June 12, the event will drop prices on new hardware, accessories, PS Plus subscriptions, and many games. One of them is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for $55, released only a few months ago and is also on sale at GameStop and Amazon right now. Others include Tekken 8, which will be available for just $49. In the meantime, Rise of the Ronin, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2And The Last of Us Part II Remastered the whole thing will only cost $50.

PS Plus Extra and Premium, Sony’s competitor to the Netflix-like Xbox Game Pass, will also be cheaper in the coming weeks. Extra, which includes a library of hundreds of games, will cost $91 per year instead of $130, and Premium, which includes streaming and retro games like PS2 Classics, will be $112 instead of $160. Both prices are just a bit cheaper than what the tiers cost before Sony raised the price a year ago.

Then there are the PS5s themselves. Normally $500 for the slim version and $450 for the all-digital slim version, both consoles will be $50 off when ordered from Sony’s website. The company is also taking $100 off the price of the PlayStation VR2, which is normally $550. The version supplied with Horizon Call of the Mountain is also available as part of the same offer.

The cuts come as Sony works to move more hardware. Despite the PS5’s impressive sales figures to date, around half of all PlayStation gamers still haven’t upgraded from PS4. The PS VR2, on the other hand, seems to be practically dead in the water. Despite well-designed technology, the high price and lack of must-have games seem to have wiped out any momentum it had. Sony has never said how many new VR headsets it has sold, and according to a report earlier this year production has already stopped due to a saved inventory.
