Sony started the annual edition of the Days of Play 2026 promotional event, which offers price reductions on games, services and accessories from the PlayStation line.

The initiative covers recent PlayStation 5 exclusive titles, different models of the DualSense controller and the PS VR2 virtual reality device. The promotional period attracts consumers interested in updating equipment or purchasing recent releases at lower prices. The current selection mixes new offers on the market with prices that have already been charged by the company in previous sales campaigns, demanding attention from buyers when closing the cart.
Reduções hits PlayStation 5 exclusives and digital editions

DualSense controllers and PS VR2 glasses receive price cuts

PlayStation 5 consoles are left out of direct promotions
The Japanese manufacturer has chosen not to apply direct discounts on desktop consoles during Days of Play 2026. The standard PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 model Pro maintain their regular retail prices. The decision comes after the company made adjustments and increases in hardware production and distribution costs over the last twelve months, maintaining the main platform without price relief in the campaign.
Consumers looking to purchase the device find alternatives in the market for refurbished products certified by the manufacturer itself. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition with 1TB of storage costs US$499.00 in this format. The standard version with a disc reader and the same memory capacity costs US$549.00. Estas options remain available at the brand’s official store regardless of the promotional event calendar.
An exchange program managed in partnership with the company Back Market offers incentives for platform transition. Owners of a PS4 console can send in their old device for evaluation and receive an additional $50 credit toward the purchase of a new system. A PS4 Pro model in good condition generates approximately US$100.00 in the standard evaluation. The customer accumulates around US$150.00 to deduct from the final value of the PlayStation 5, surpassing offers from networks such as GameStop.
PlayStation Plus Subscriptions Get Discounts for New Members
Sony’s digital services sector presents special conditions exclusive to accounts that do not yet have an active subscription. The PlayStation Plus Premium annual plan received a 33% cut in its total value. The Extra category has a 25% reduction in annual fees. The basic package, known as Essential, offers a 20% discount for subscriptions confirmed until June 10th.
The company took advantage of the period to confirm the list of monthly games that will be part of the service’s catalog in June 2026. Subscribers of all categories will be able to redeem Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Grounded Fully Yoked Edition and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. The three titles will be available to users between June 2nd and July 6th on the brand’s platforms, expanding the digital library of players.
The North American financial market also participates in the promotional window through the PlayStation Visa credit card. The operator offers a US$100.00 bill credit to new customers who spend US$500.00 in the first 60 days of use. The financial product exempts the holder from the annual maintenance fee. The card multiplies reward points for purchases made in the Japanese manufacturer’s ecosystem by five, integrating the banking sector with entertainment offers.
