The holiday season has just got better for every gamer as Sony has recently revealed the PS5 price drop. This price cut is only for the slim digital version.
Also, keep in mind that this deal is temporary and will only be available till December 2024. Let’s check out more details in this article.
PS5 price drop all details
Here are all the details from Sony about the price drop of PlayStation 5:
- Price Drop: Sony has temporarily reduced the PS5 Slim Digital Edition’s price by $70, bringing it down to $379.99 from $449.99.
- Duration: This offer is available now and will run until December 24, 2024.
- Model Specificity: This discount only applies to the PS5 Slim’s disc-free version. There is no indication yet on whether the basic PS5 with a disc drive will experience a similar drop.

Why this deal is significant?
This PS5 price drop perfectly aligned with the upcoming Black Friday sale and holiday shopping season. If you are not aware, then you should know that there is already a PlayStation store ongoing November sale where you can get heavy discounts on games, DLC, and many other things.
The excellent sales figures of over 65 million PS5 consoles supplied may have impacted Sony’s decision. Despite its greater price, the PS5 Pro has achieved good sales, outperforming the PS4 Pro during its initial window. Also, don’t expect any discount on PS5 Pro for now. This slim version also doesn’t come with a vertical stand, so you need to buy that separately.
Final Thoughts on PS5 price drop
With the PS5 price drop, Sony has provided a golden opportunity for all the gamers and fans who were looking forward to buying or upgrading their gaming console.
With the holiday season and the Black Friday sale incoming, this might be the best move Sony has made to increase their console sales.
Keep a watch on Sony’s official updates, as the situation with the ad removal suggests that there may be additional changes or clarifications on this offer.
