PlayStation Days of Play begins May 27 with discounts on PS5 games and accessories, while PS5 consoles are not discounted. The base PS5 Digital Edition remains $600, the disc-drive model costs more, and the PS5 Pro is priced at $900. Sony attributes recent hardware price increases to market conditions and notes a break from the usual pattern of declining console prices over time. Discounts include $100 off the PlayStation VR2 headset, up to $20 off DualSense controllers, and $50 off Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. Pulse Elite is discounted by $40, and various game discounts apply to titles such as Ghost of Yotei, Helldivers 2, Death Stranding 2, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. PS Plus will add Destiny 2: Legacy Collection on June 9 and offer exclusive DLC packs for Marathon, World of Tanks, and EA Sports FC 26, with up to 33% off a 12-month PS Plus subscription.

"PS Plus can grab Destiny 2: Legacy Collection when it's added to the PS Plus Game Catalog on June 9, and there'll also be exclusive DLC packs for Marathon, World of Tanks, and EA Sports FC 26. PlayStation Plus prices were also recently increased-making multiplayer access more expensive across the board for PS5 owners-but Sony says that it'll offer up to 33% off the price of a 12-month PS Plus subscripti"
