Being a gamer in 2026 is a costly endeavor, no doubt. So it’s always a nice change of pace when one of the main console makers throws its user base a bone with some major sales.

In this case, PlayStation is letting its gaming collective breathe a sigh of relief now that the Days of Play sale is finally underway. And just like the year before, the official PlayStation Direct online storefront has a wide range of deals on physical games, digital games, DualSense controllers, headsets, PS5 console covers, the PS VR 2 headset, and PS Plus memberships.

Plus, if you prefer to access the digital store directly from your PS5 and hop on any of the deals listed there, you can totally take advantage of that option.

With such an overwhelming array of sweet deals to keep track of, I’m sure it can be a headache trying to decide what discounts are worth jumping on. Before the PS Days of Play sale ends on June 10, check out my personal recommendations for the best discounts I’ve spotted for critically acclaimed games and sick color alternatives for PS5 controllers.

The PS Direct online store has a respectable lineup of quality games on sale, with a few of them also having discounts on their Collector’s Editions. I’ve already put in a ridiculous amount of hours getting the trophies for most of the PS5 games being sold for less right now, which is why I’m keen on listing their Days of Play deals here:

On the digital gaming front, the Days of Play sale has a crazy long list of discounted games. Alongside the expected array of older titles, there’s also a nice mixture of recently released titles sprinkled in there that I think is worth mentioning here.

I’m going to go ahead and showcase 15 of those digital sales here (feel free to go directly to this page to see the full gamut of digital game sales or peruse through the PSN store on your PS5 or PS4 to see what else is worth picking up):

I usually shudder at the thought of buying another DualSense controller since purchasing a controller for $70+ is an insane concept to me.

But after being saddled with two Dual Sense controllers stricken by the dreaded "stick drift" plague, I was forced to look at what PlayStation was presenting as far as deals for their controllers go. Plus, I’m in the market for a new headset and have been keeping a close eye on PlayStation’s first-party options (which are also usually pricey).

Thankfully, the Days of Play deals I spotted make getting a new DualSense controller or PULSE headset less of a painful purchase. These are the controller color variations and PULSE headsets that caught my eye the most and don’t break the bank as much as they do when they’re at their standard price:

Shout out to PlayStation for giving gamers a bit of a financial reprieve

With all the console and handheld price increases, it can become pretty daunting for any hardcore gamer and someone curious enough to get into the hobby to open their wallet nowadays.

Trust me, I get it—I still don’t have a Switch 2 and it’s looking like I’ll have to get one before the price for that one increases on September 1. With PlayStation’s Days of Play deals in full effect until June 10, I appreciate the gaming giant throwing gamers a bone with a wide selection of deals for their products.

It’s definitely worth tapping into any of these before all these awesome deals disappear.
