Amazon launches epic PlayStation sale with PS5 Slim and PSVR 2 at lowest prices ever
Amazon is discounting all things PS5 right now
With both Sony’s own Days of Play sales event and Amazon Prime Day 2024 in the rearview mirror, I had assumed the biggest PlayStation deals of the summer had come and gone. Turns out I was very wrong because right now Amazon is offering some of the best gaming deals of the year with the PS5 Slim, the PSVR 2 and loads of the best PS5 games all heavily discounted.
The flagship Amazon deal is the PS5 Slim for $449. That’s a $50 saving and matches Amazon’s lowest-ever price for the powerful game console. Meanwhile, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition is on sale for $399, that’s also $50 off. There’s an even bigger saving on the PSVR 2 which is currently $200 off, now just $349. Or, for an extra $50, you can get the Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle for $399 which includes the VR headset and one of the best PSVR 2 games.
Meanwhile, if you’re already a PS5 owner (or are picking up a console today thanks to the above hardware deals), you’ll be pleased to know that loads of essential PS5 games are also on sale. This includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for $49, God of War Ragnarökfor $39 and Horizon Forbidden West for $29, among many other PlayStation Studios published titles.
This is one of the best PS5 sales events we’re likely to see this side of Black Friday, so let’s dive into all the PlayStation deals that you can shop right now over on Amazon…
