PlayStation Direct is offering significant discounts on its hardware, accessories, and subscription services during this year’s Black Friday sale. Gamers can save on everything from the latest PS5 consoles to virtual reality headsets and controllers.
Console Savings
The biggest draw is the price reduction on PlayStation consoles. The standard PS5 with 1TB storage is down from £479.99 to £389.99, while the digital edition is available for £294.99. Bundles, such as the PS5 1TB console with Fortnite Flowering Chaos, are also discounted to £389.99. For those interested in upgrading, the PS5 Pro 2TB console is on sale for £609.99, a £90 reduction from its usual price.
Accessories and VR Deals
Beyond consoles, PlayStation Direct is slashing prices on accessories. The PS VR2 headset is £309.99 (down from £399.99) and can be bundled with Horizon Call of the Mountain for the same price. The PlayStation Portal handheld remote player is available for £179.99, a £20 discount. DualSense controllers start at £44.99, and the premium DualSense Edge controller is down to £169.99. Pulse Elite, Explore, and Access products are also discounted by £20 each.
Leasing and Subscription Perks
A notable addition to the Black Friday offers is the option to lease a PS5. In partnership with Raylo, UK customers can lease the Digital Edition for as little as £8.99 per month on a 36-month plan, or the standard 1TB model for £10.99 per month.
PlayStation Plus members receive an additional 5% off purchases, including an extra £14.75 discount on the PS5 Digital Edition. New sign-ups are also eligible for this benefit.
Deadlines and Availability
The hardware discounts (consoles, controllers, and PS VR2) end on December 18th, while discounts on PlayStation Portal, Elite, Explore, and Access products last until December 24th. Free express shipping is available for UK customers, but orders must be placed by December 18th to guarantee Christmas delivery.
These Black Friday deals from PlayStation Direct represent a substantial opportunity for gamers to upgrade their setups or get into the PlayStation ecosystem at lower costs.
