When the Days of Play Sale Runs and What’s Included
Sony’s annual Days of Play sale runs from May 27 to June 10, offering broad discounts across the PlayStation ecosystem. During this window, you can expect promotions on PlayStation 5 accessories, a substantial PSVR 2 discount, and a wide-ranging PlayStation games sale on the PlayStation Store. Sony is also tying in PlayStation Plus benefits, including new monthly titles, extra trials, and special in‑game packs for subscribers. While the full list of deals is being rolled out via the official Days of Play website, Sony has already confirmed savings on key hardware like audio gear and controllers, alongside price cuts on major first‑party and third‑party PS5 titles. In short, if you’re planning to upgrade your setup, expand your library, or top up PS Plus, this two‑week period is designed to be one of the best value windows of the year for PlayStation players.
PSVR 2 Discount: Why USD 300 Is a Big Deal for VR Fans
The headline offer in this year’s Days of Play sale is clearly the PSVR 2 discount. Sony is knocking USD 100 (approx. RM460) off the current official MSRP, bringing PSVR 2 down to USD 300 (approx. RM1,380) for the headset bundle when purchased during the promo window. That bundle includes the PlayStation VR2 headset, two Sense controllers with straps, a USB charging cable, and stereo headphones with multiple earpiece sizes. Considering PSVR 2 initially launched at a much higher price and only dipped to around USD 350 (approx. RM1,610) during a previous Black Friday promotion, this is one of the most aggressive cuts the headset has seen so far. For players who have been waiting to try high‑end console VR without paying launch‑era prices, Days of Play offers a relatively low entry point into Sony’s VR ecosystem.
PS5 Accessories Deals: Audio, Controllers, and More
Beyond VR, Days of Play delivers strong PS5 accessories deals that can round out your setup. Sony has confirmed USD 50 (approx. RM230) off the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds and USD 40 (approx. RM185) off the Pulse Elite wireless headset, making it a good time to upgrade your PlayStation audio. Competitive and accessibility-minded players also benefit: the premium DualSense Edge controller is reduced by USD 30 (approx. RM140), as is the Access controller, which is designed for players with a wide range of mobility needs. Standard DualSense wireless controllers are also discounted by up to USD 20 (approx. RM90), a handy saving if you need a couch co‑op pad or a spare for charging rotation. Additional PSVR 2 accessories, such as adapters and extra controllers, are expected to see promotions as the sale progresses, so it’s worth checking the Days of Play landing page regularly.
PlayStation Games Sale and PlayStation Plus Bonuses
The Days of Play sale extends beyond hardware, with a substantial PlayStation games sale and expanded PlayStation Plus perks. Sony has already highlighted discounts on high‑profile PS5 games, including Ghost of Yōtei, Helldivers 2, Death Stranding 2, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, with more titles to be revealed on the official event site. PlayStation Plus also gets a boost: subscriptions are discounted by up to 33 percent, and June’s Essential lineup adds Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide at no extra charge. Premium members can look forward to more than 40 new full‑game trials, with highlights like Baby Steps, Lumines Arise, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. On top of that, time‑limited in‑game packs for EA Sports FC 26, War of Tanks: HEAT, and Marathon sweeten the deal for active subscribers.
Why PS5 Console Discounts Are Limited and the Refurb Alternative
Despite the breadth of Days of Play promotions, don’t expect deep discounts on brand‑new PS5 consoles themselves. With Grand Theft Auto 6 driving strong interest in current‑gen hardware, Sony has less incentive to slash PS5 prices aggressively, so most of the value is concentrated in PSVR 2, PS5 accessories, and software. If you’re trying to get into the ecosystem for less, refurbished PS5 units with disc drives are emerging as an appealing alternative. These refurbished systems, offered through official channels, typically come at a substantial discount compared to new stock while still providing the same core hardware experience and compatibility with physical games. Pairing a refurbished console with Days of Play savings on controllers, headsets, and a discounted PSVR 2 can significantly lower the overall cost of building a complete PlayStation setup, even without a headline‑grabbing console price cut.
