What is the Days of Play sale and when does it run?
The Days of Play sale is PlayStation’s annual two-week promotion that discounts PS5 games, accessories, PlayStation Plus membership, and digital content across the PlayStation Store and major retailers. For this year’s event, Sony has confirmed the sale runs from May 27 at 12:01 AM through June 10 at 11:59 PM local time, with hundreds of deals rolling out over the full window. According to FullCleared, the structure mirrors last year: PlayStation Plus content lands first, while game and hardware offers stay live for the entire event. There is no discount on PS5 or PS5 Pro consoles, but players can expect meaningful markdowns on controllers, headsets, PlayStation VR2, and many recent first-party releases. If you want the widest choice of PS5 game deals and DualSense controller discount options, this is the key sales period to watch.
Top PS5 game deals: Ghost of Yōtei, Astro Bot, and Death Stranding 2
Game discounts are the heart of the Days of Play sale, and this year’s lineup is strong for PS5 owners. Ghost of Yōtei is down to USD 49.99 (approx. RM230) from USD 69.99 (approx. RM320), which FullCleared notes is the lowest price seen on the October release and includes the free Legends multiplayer mode added in March. Astro Bot is reduced to USD 39.99 (approx. RM180), making it a standout pick if you missed this 2024 Game of the Year winner. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach also drops to USD 39.99 (approx. RM180), offering an eye-catching sci-fi adventure at a mid-tier price. Beyond these headline offers, the PlayStation Store lists hundreds of discounted titles, including Helldivers 2 and The Last of Us Part II Remastered, with extra savings on select games for PlayStation Plus members.
DualSense controller discounts and PS5 accessory deals
If you have been waiting for a DualSense controller discount, Days of Play is a strong time to upgrade or expand your setup. FullCleared highlights the DualSense Edge at USD 169 (approx. RM780), about USD 31 (approx. RM140) off its usual USD 199.99 (approx. RM920) price, and calls it the standout controller deal of the event. Sony is also cutting prices across standard DualSense controllers, with up to USD 20 (approx. RM90) off various colors. The savings extend to the wider PS5 accessory lineup: PlayStation VR2 is USD 100 (approx. RM460) off, the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are USD 50 (approx. RM230) off, and the Pulse Elite wireless headset is USD 40 (approx. RM180) off. Access controllers and other accessories are included too, giving you multiple ways to fine-tune your PS5 setup during the sale.
PlayStation Plus membership perks, trials and extra content
Days of Play is not only about PS5 game deals; it also packs in fresh PlayStation Plus membership benefits. June’s Monthly Games include Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, while EA Sports FC 26 remains claimable through June 16. On June 9, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members get Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2025) added to the Game Catalog, lining up with Destiny 2’s final content update. Premium members also gain access to time-limited Game Trials for more than 40 indie titles, such as Baby Steps, Lumines Arise, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. New or returning subscribers can save up to 33 percent on a 12‑month PlayStation Plus membership, and existing Essential or Extra members can knock 33 percent off when upgrading to Premium or Deluxe for the remaining term.
