When the Days of Play Sale Runs and What to Expect
PlayStation’s latest Days of Play sale runs from May 27 through June 10, turning what used to be a simple discount period into a full-blown platform event. Across major retailers and the PlayStation Store, you’ll find hardware markdowns, rotating digital PlayStation game deals, PS Plus offers, tournaments, and in-game bonuses. While there’s no price cut on PS5 or PS5 Pro consoles this time, virtually every other part of the ecosystem is touched: accessories, first-party titles, free avatars, movie discounts through Sony Pictures Core, and over 40 game trials for higher-tier PS Plus members. Rather than a basic clearance event, Days of Play now functions more like a seasonal engagement push: log in, try new games, join competitions, and check back frequently as fresh deals roll out over the two-week window.
PSVR 2 Discount: Headset Drops to USD 300 (approx. RM1,380)
The standout hardware offer this Days of Play sale is the PSVR 2 discount. Sony is knocking USD 100 (approx. RM460) off the current official MSRP, bringing PSVR 2 bundles down to USD 300 (approx. RM1,380) when purchased through the PlayStation Store and participating retailers. This bundle includes the PlayStationVR 2 headset, two PSVR 2 Sense controllers with straps, a USB charging cable, and stereo headphones with multiple earpiece sizes. Considering PSVR 2 originally launched at USD 550 (approx. RM2,530) and later settled at a USD 400 (approx. RM1,840) MSRP, this is one of the most aggressive cuts yet during a Days of Play sale. Sony has also teased broader PS5 and PSVR 2 accessory offers during the event, so it’s worth checking for extras like adapters, additional Sense controllers, and carrying cases while the promotion is live.
Controller and Audio Hardware: DualSense Edge, DualSense and More
If you’re hunting for a DualSense controller sale, Days of Play delivers across the board. The premium DualSense Edge controller is discounted by USD 30 (approx. RM140) from its standard price, putting it at USD 169 (approx. RM780) during the event. Standard DualSense wireless controllers are also marked down by up to USD 20 (approx. RM90), with discounts covering multiple colorways—ideal if you’ve been waiting to add a second pad for co-op or local multiplayer. Accessibility-minded players can pick up the Access controller at USD 30 (approx. RM140) off, while audio gets attention too: the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are reduced by USD 50 (approx. RM230) and the Pulse Elite wireless headset by USD 40 (approx. RM185). Combined, these accessory offers make this Days of Play sale a strong moment to upgrade your overall PS5 setup.
PlayStation Game Deals: Ghost of Yōtei, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2 and More
On the software side, the Days of Play sale packs some of the best recent PlayStation game deals. Ghost of Yōtei is down to USD 49.99 (approx. RM230) from its usual USD 69.99 (approx. RM320), and that’s with its free Legends multiplayer mode now included. Astro Bot, a 2024 Game of the Year winner, is available for USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), making it an easy recommendation if you somehow missed it at launch. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is also discounted to USD 39.99 (approx. RM185), a compelling price if you’re curious about its striking visuals and unconventional design. Sony is further promising broader discounts on PS5 titles such as Helldivers 2 and The Last of Us Part II Remastered via the PlayStation Store, so it’s worth browsing digital sales for additional savings during the two-week window.
PS Plus Deals, Game Trials, and Tournaments During Days of Play
Beyond pure discounts, Sony is turning Days of Play into a showcase for PS Plus deals and community events. From May 27 to June 10, new members can save up to 33% on 12-month PS Plus subscriptions, and existing Essential or Extra subscribers upgrading to Premium/Deluxe can also get up to 33% off. Premium members gain access to over 40 playable game trials, including titles such as Baby Steps, Lumines Arise, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, reinforcing a “try before you buy” approach. Starting June 2, PS Plus adds Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, while EA Sports FC 26 remains available until June 16. Competitive players can jump into tournaments for games like Tekken 8, Fortnite, NBA 2K26, Gran Turismo 7, EA Sports Madden NFL 26, and Mortal Kombat 1, with exclusive avatars, sweepstakes, and other rewards on the line.
