What PlayStation Days of Play Is and When the Deals Run
PlayStation Days of Play is a time-limited promotional event where Sony discounts PS5 and PS4 games, accessories like DualSense controllers and PlayStation VR2, and PlayStation Plus memberships while adding limited-time perks such as tournaments, free avatars, and expanded game trials to encourage players to engage more deeply with the PlayStation ecosystem. For 2026, Days of Play runs from May 27 through June 10 across major retailers and the PlayStation Store, bringing together what one source describes as PS5 discounts, PS Plus bonuses, competitive events, and movie offers under a single seasonal banner. Sony is treating this year’s Days of Play less like a clearance sale and more like a platform event, with rotating digital sales and ecosystem-wide activities that reward players who log in regularly, try new titles, and participate in community competitions during the two-week window.
Hardware Highlights: PlayStation VR2 Sale and DualSense Controller Discounts
The biggest hardware news is the PlayStation VR2 sale, with the headset receiving a USD 100 (approx. RM460) discount during Days of Play, dropping the price from USD 399 (approx. RM1,835) to USD 299 (approx. RM1,375). According to UploadVR, this promotion runs from May 27 to June 10 and includes free shipping and extra savings on select accessories in some regions. Sony is also offering discounts on Pulse Elite headsets and Pulse Explore earbuds, making it a strong moment to upgrade your audio setup alongside VR. On the controller front, the premium DualSense Edge is down to USD 169 (approx. RM775), a cut of roughly USD 31 (approx. RM140) from its usual USD 199.99 (approx. RM915). Standard DualSense controller discounts span multiple colors, giving players a cheaper way to add a second pad for couch co-op or as a backup.
Best PS5 Game Deals: Ghost of Yōtei, Astro Bot, and Death Stranding 2
PS5 game deals are a major focus of PlayStation Days of Play, with several high-profile first-party titles getting notable price cuts. Ghost of Yōtei drops to USD 49.99 (approx. RM230) from USD 69.99 (approx. RM320), its lowest reported price so far, and includes access to the Legends multiplayer mode that was added earlier in the year. Astro Bot is discounted to USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), making Sony’s 2024 Game of the Year winner much easier to recommend to anyone who missed it at launch. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach also hits USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), offering a cinematic sequel at a midrange price. Beyond these marquee titles, Sony’s PlayStation Store features a wide catalog of PS5 game deals and rotating digital sales through June 10, so it’s worth browsing the store for hidden gems and smaller titles on your wishlist.
PlayStation Plus Deals, Game Trials, and Tournament Rewards
PlayStation Plus is central to this year’s event, with discounted memberships and expanded content. New subscribers can save up to 33% on 12‑month PlayStation Plus plans from May 27 to June 10, and existing Essential or Extra members upgrading to Premium or Deluxe also receive up to 33% off. Premium tiers unlock over 40 game trials, including titles like Baby Steps and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, reinforcing Sony’s push to let players try games before buying. Starting June 2, PS Plus members can add Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All‑Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide to their libraries, while EA Sports FC 26 remains available until June 16. Competitive players can join tournaments for games such as Tekken 8, Fortnite, NBA 2K26, Gran Turismo 7, EA Sports Madden NFL 26, and Mortal Kombat 1, earning unique Days of Play avatars and chances at prizes like PlayStation Portal, DualSense Edge controllers, Store credit, and Premium memberships.
