As part of the PlayStation summer sale, Sony has cut the price of various PS5 consoles, with the cheapest being less than £340.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 has been out for nearly five years, but it still hasn’t received any permanent price cut – instead, Sony has bumped up the price several times since 2020.
The company has blamed the ‘challenging economic environment’ for these price hikes, most recently in April, but it means any temporary discounts are worth capitalising on to lessen the financial damage.
If you’ve been on the fence about a PlayStation 5, Sony has now slashed the prices across various models on the PlayStation Direct store.
As part of its summer sale, which has also seen thousands of games discounted across the PlayStation Store, the PlayStation 5 console with a disc drive is £45 off at £434.99. However, if you don’t require a disc drive (or prefer to buy one later), you can pick up the digital version for only £339.99, which is £90 off the original £429.99 price.
Before the recent price hike, the PlayStation 5 digital edition cost £389.99, so you’re still saving £50 from the previous price.

If you fancy picking up another DualSense controller, there are other bundles too. The digital version with two controllers is £90 off at £389.99, while the standard console with another DualSense is £45 off at £484.99.
While there’s no discount on the PS5 Pro, you can pick up the base PlayStation 5 console with a 24-month PlayStation Plus Premium subscription for £634.99, which is £45 off. This is the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which usually costs £119.99 per year.
These deals are live now and run until July 29, 2025, while supplies last.
