In a surprising move, Sony has unveiled significant price reductions for its PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro) consoles across Europe as part of the annual Days of Play 2025 promotion. Gamers may save a lot of money on consoles, accessories, and games during the May 28–June 11 event.
- PS5 Discounts: Both the standard and digital editions of the PS5 are now available starting at €399.99 / £339.99 in select European regions, marking a €100 / £75 reduction from their previous prices .
- PS5 Pro Price Cut: The PS5 Pro, Sony’s enhanced console featuring improved GPU performance and AI-driven upscaling technology, is receiving a €50 / £30 discount, bringing its price down to €749.99 / £669 .
- Accessory Deals: Gamers can also enjoy discounts on various accessories, including €30 off DualSense Edge controllers and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. The price of the PlayStation VR2 package that includes Horizon Call of the Mountain is €399.99.
- Game Sales: Popular titles such as The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, and Astro Bot are on sale, with prices starting from €29.99 .
- PlayStation Plus Memberships: Sony is selling 12-month PlayStation Plus memberships for up to 33% less. Existing Essential or Extra members can upgrade to Premium or Deluxe tiers at a discounted rate during this period .
Sony recently raised prices in a few markets, including Europe and Asia, before implementing this aggressive pricing policy. The current discounts are seen as a response to competitive pressures and a means to boost console sales .
Notably, while Sony reported strong sales in regions like Japan and Asia, the UK market showed a lukewarm response to previous promotions. However, data from market research firm GfK indicated a significant uptick in UK sales during discount periods, with a 71% increase in the first week and a further 59% boost in the second week .
The Days of Play 2025 deals are accessible through Sony’s official website, direct.playstation.com, and participating retailers across Europe. With the gaming industry facing increased competition and economic challenges, these discounts provide an opportune moment for consumers to invest in Sony’s gaming ecosystem.
As the promotional period is limited, interested buyers are encouraged to take advantage of these offers before they conclude on June 11, 2025.
