Sony announced a significant price drop for the PlayStation 5, its peripherals and a large number of games from its catalog. The campaign will be available in Spain from July 1 to 15, as announced on the PlayStation Blog.

Gamers looking to make the jump to the latest generation of video game consoles have had a rough couple of years. Production and distribution issues accumulated during the COVID pandemic have affected inventory and made purchasing it an impossible task, except by paying insane second-hand prices or speculators making a killing.

Fortunately, from the end of 2022 stock has been restored and today they can be purchased directly at the recommended price without waiting. You only have to go by the big online retailers or specialist brick-and-mortar stores to see that things have stabilized, or check out the data that says PS5 sales in Europe are up 369% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023 .

And that Sony increased the official selling price of the PS5, in a strategy that Microsoft replicated in the latest Xbox, causing a phenomenon that we have not seen until now, except for very specific models. If in previous generations consoles fell over time (once the development was amortized), now their price is rising.

PlayStation 5 price cut

Hence the interest in the event that Sony will launch in Spain, which will allow from July 1 to 15 save 100 euros on the price of PS5 Blue ray. The company will only make the top version with an optical drive cheaper, but it will still be a good time to buy it.

The campaign also offers other interesting events, from reduce the price of peripherals such as the DualSense controllers, white/black, which will cost 49 euros compared to the current 69 euros, or other colors, which will reduce their price even more, from 74 to 49 euros. Other peripherals such as the Pulse 3D wireless headset will also be cheaper.

And if games are the most important thing on any console, new players who take advantage of the promotions or those who already own a console will see a significant price reduction on a large selection of titles where we find the most important of the platform, from God of War Ragnarok 20 euros less, Horizon Forbidden West 30 euros less or Returnal, which reduces the price by 40 euros. We’re also seeing price cuts for PS4 games and those that support virtual reality.

An important promotion (for a limited time) that will be available from July 1st to July 15th in PlayStation Direct, as well as in the retail channel, brick-and-mortar stores or online. If you are interested, you know.
