Sony is revving its engines for its latest Days of Play sale, which includes
the first official price cut for the PS5 Pro. The console will drop by $50 to
$650 in the US. The sale starts on May 28 and runs until June 11.

You might have been able to find a PS5 Pro for less than the list price
elsewhere, but this is the first time Sony has put it on sale on its own
storefront. Retail partners will match the discount. If you donΓÇÖt yet have
a PS5 (or a powerful gaming PC) and can afford a Pro, it's the way to go for
the very best PlayStation experience. We gave it a score of 88 in our review
ΓÇö it might have scored higher but for the price and the lack of a built-in
disc drive.

There are other discounts on consoles in the US and Canada as part of the
sale. A bundle of either the standard PS5 or Digital Edition with a copy of
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 starts at $400/$510 CAD (for the Digital Edition).
Sony says that will save you $120/$160 CAD compared with buying them
separately. The PS5 standard and digital versions will be on sale in Europe
and Asia too, starting at €400/£340/¥65,980.

ItΓÇÖs worth noting that Sony has considered raising the prices of PS5
hardware to offset the cost of tariffs. Microsoft this month jacked up the
prices of Xbox consoles recently for that reason. So if youΓÇÖve been on the
fence about getting a PS5 or PS5 Pro, now might be the time to snap one up.

Elsewhere in the Days of Play sale, accessories are getting discounts. You
can save on the PlayStation VR2 ($50 off), PlayStation VR2 and Horizon Call
of the Mountain bundle ($50 off), Pulse Explore earbuds ($30 off), DualSense
Edge controller ($30 off), PlayStation Access controller ($20 off) and the
DualSense controller ($20 off). Things like PS5 console covers and external
storage drives will get price cuts as well.

You will, of course, be able to snap up PS5 games for fewer dollars than
usual. MLB The Show 25, the brilliant Astro Bot and Lego Horizon Adventures
are among the many first-party games getting discounts. If you haven't played
The Last of Us Part II and don't want to wait a year or two before finding
out where the story of HBO's adaptation will go after that (somewhat
unsatisfying) season finale on Sunday, you might like to snap up the
remastered edition of the misery simulator, which will be included in the
sale.

Hundreds of other games will be featured. The list includes several
Assassin's Creed titles, Grand Theft Auto V, Final Fantasy VII Remake and
Rebirth, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, MarvelΓÇÖs Spider-Man 2 and
Balatro. On top of that, movies will be on sale through Sony Pictures Core

Elsewhere, some PlayStation Plus plans will be 33 percent off for new
subscribers. Upgrading to the Extra or Premium tiers may cost you a third
less than usual as well. That stinks for long-term PS Plus members whoΓÇÖd
like to add another year or two (especially after recent price increases in
several regions), but thatΓÇÖs standard practice for plans such as these as
companies try to boost subscriber numbers.

Speaking of which, Sony is adding an extra few games to the PS Plus Game
Catalog for Extra, Premium and Deluxe members. They are:

Another CrabΓÇÖs Treasure (PS5, May 29)

Skull and Bones (PS5, June 2)

Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (PS5 and PS4, June 4)

Grand Theft Auto III (PS5 and PS4, June 10)

Another Crab's Treasure is a delightful Soulslike that was one of my favorite
games of 2024. One of the best things about it is an accessibility option
that gives you a giant pistol that can one-shot any enemy. Skull and Bones
landed last year after years of delays and I'd say that "at no extra cost" is
the best way to try it. Destiny 2: Legacy Collection includes hundreds of
hours of gameplay with all of the expansions from the game's Light and
Darkness Saga, except for the last chapter, The Final Shape.

As it happens, the latest batch of monthly PS Plus games (which all PS Plus
subscribers can claim and keep in their libraries as long as they maintain
the membership) includes Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which will be available
on May 28 for PS4 and PS5. The other titles, which you can claim starting on
June 3, are NBA 2K25 (PS5 and PS4), last year's remake of Alone in the Dark
(PS5) and the Jet Set Radio-esque Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (PS5 and PS4). That's a
solid lineup!

Last but not least, two bona fide all-timers are joining the Classics Catalog
on June 5 for PS Plus Premium/Deluxe subscribers. Myst and its sequel Riven
will be available to members on PS4 and PS5 at no extra cost. Premium/Deluxe
subscribers will have access to two more game trials from May 28: Kingdom
Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) and Sid MeierΓÇÖs Civilization VII (PS5 and PS4)
