What the Days of Play Sale Is and When It Runs
The Days of Play sale is PlayStation’s annual two‑week promotion that bundles hardware discounts, controller deals, game price cuts, PlayStation Plus offers, and community events into one ecosystem‑wide celebration designed to keep players engaged across the platform. For 2026, Days of Play runs from May 27 through June 10, with offers spread across the PlayStation Store and major retail partners. According to Techloy, this year’s event goes beyond a simple clearance sale, adding free avatars, over 40 game trials for Premium and Deluxe members, competitive tournaments, and even movie deals through Sony Pictures Core. You will not find price cuts on PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro consoles, but the focus on accessories, VR hardware, and first‑party software makes this sale a strong opportunity to expand your setup, stack games for your backlog, or lock in a discounted PS Plus membership for the year ahead.
PSVR 2 Discount and Headset Deals
Virtual reality is one of the biggest winners in this Days of Play sale, thanks to a steep PSVR 2 discount. Sony has knocked USD 100 (approx. RM460) off its second‑generation PSVR 2 headset, bringing the current Days of Play price down to USD 300 (approx. RM1,380) for the bundle that includes the headset, two PSVR 2 Sense controllers, straps, a USB charging cable, and stereo headphones. The Shortcut notes that this undercuts both the newer USD 400 (approx. RM1,840) MSRP and last year’s Black Friday bundle pricing. If you have been waiting for premium VR to feel more affordable, this is the most attractive official offer so far. On the audio side, Sony’s Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are USD 50 (approx. RM230) off and the Pulse Elite wireless headset is USD 40 (approx. RM185) off, aligning audio upgrades with the VR push.
PS5 Controller Deals: DualSense Edge and More
If you want a better pad or a spare for local co‑op, the Days of Play sale brings notable PS5 controller deals. FullCleared highlights the DualSense Edge as a headline offer at USD 169 (approx. RM780), which is roughly USD 31 (approx. RM140) off its usual USD 199.99 (approx. RM920) price. The Shortcut adds that the customizable, pro‑grade DualSense Edge is USD 30 (approx. RM140) off in Sony’s own breakdown, while the Access controller shares the same reduction. Various standard DualSense wireless controllers are up to USD 20 (approx. RM90) off across colorways, making it a good time to add a second controller or refresh an aging one. These PS5 controller deals are spread across retailers like Best Buy and PlayStation Direct, so you can pick whichever storefront works best for you while taking advantage of a lower DualSense controller price.
Top PlayStation Game Sales You Should Prioritize
Days of Play is also packed with PlayStation game sales, especially on big first‑party titles. FullCleared reports that Ghost of Yōtei is down to USD 49.99 (approx. RM230) from USD 69.99 (approx. RM320), its lowest price so far and a strong pickup now that the Legends multiplayer mode arrived in March. Astro Bot, the 2024 Game of the Year winner, is available for USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), while Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is also USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), a tempting entry point if you want to experience its striking visuals without paying full launch price. Beyond those headliners, the PlayStation Store hosts a rotating mix of digital discounts through June 10. It is worth scanning the full sale catalog, especially if you have a backlog wishlist of Sony exclusives or recent third‑party hits you have been waiting to buy.
PS Plus Discounts, Trials and Tournaments
Beyond hardware and software, Days of Play is deeply tied to PlayStation Plus this year. Techloy explains that from May 27 to June 10, new members can get up to 33% off 12‑month PS Plus subscriptions, while existing Essential or Extra users upgrading to Premium or Deluxe can also save up to 33%. Premium members gain access to over 40 game trials, including titles like Baby Steps and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, reinforcing a “try before you buy” approach at a time when players are more cautious with their spending. June’s PS Plus lineup includes Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All‑Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, with EA Sports FC 26 remaining available until June 16. Competitive players can enter tournaments for games such as Tekken 8, Fortnite, Gran Turismo 7, and NBA 2K26, earning unique avatars and prizes like PlayStation Store credit and DualSense Edge controllers.
