PlayStation Days of Play 2026: Best Deals on PS5 Games and Gear

PlayStation Days of Play 2026: Best Deals on PS5 Games and Gear

Sony's Days of Play sale is running right now, with two weeks of price cuts across PS5 games, accessories, and PlayStation Plus memberships. The biggest standalone hardware discount is on PS VR2, while the deepest software savings reach 75% off select PS5 and PS4 titles. There is no price cut on the PS5 or PS5 Pro consoles this year.

Quick answer: Days of Play ends on June 10, 2026 at 23:59:59 PST. Buy before that cutoff to lock in the sale prices, including the PS VR2 headset at $299 and PlayStation Plus Premium at up to 33% off.

Days of Play 2026 dates and what's included

The sale covers digital games on the PlayStation Store, accessories like controllers and headsets, the PS VR2 headset, and 12-month PlayStation Plus plans. Offers change daily, so a specific title may rotate in or out before the event closes. PlayStation Plus members also get extra in-game content, discounts, and tournaments during the celebration.

One time-limited bonus to note: EA SPORTS FC 26 is redeemable for free with PlayStation Plus until June 16. You can browse the full software lineup on the PlayStation Store Days of Play sale page.


PS5 and PS5 Pro: No console discount this year

The PS5 and PS5 Pro are not discounted during this sale. The PS5 Pro sits at $900, and the only way to bring that down is a trade-in deal at retail, where Best Buy will take eligible old hardware for up to $225 off.

If you want a cheaper route into a standard PS5, Sony is selling a certified refurbished PS5 Digital (Slim) deal for $499.

PS VR2 headset deal: $100 off

The standout hardware saving is the PS VR2 headset deal, which drops to $299, a $100 cut from the usual price. The headset includes the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. In some regions the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle is sold at the same price as the standalone headset, so the bundle is the better pick if you can get it for the same cost.

Controllers and audio accessory deals

DualSense controllers are reduced across the standard and colored ranges, and the premium and accessibility models get larger cuts. The PULSE Elite wireless headset sees the biggest accessory discount.

The Ghost of Yōtei Collector's Edition deal is reduced by $100.

If you only want the base game, the standard edition of Ghost of Yōtei is also discounted in the software sale.

PlayStation Plus discounts on 12-month plans

The membership cuts apply only to 12-month plans, and all three tiers are included. These discounts arrived shortly after a PS Plus price increase, though the annual plans were not affected by that change. You need to join before June 10 to claim the Days of Play rate.

How to make sure your games are ready to play

To download purchases automatically while the console rests, turn on auto-downloads in your PS5 system settings. With that enabled, new games and updates install during rest mode so they are ready when you next switch on the console.

🛒
Tip: Prices and featured titles rotate daily, so confirm the current price at checkout. PS Plus members may see additional cuts stacked on top of the listed sale prices.

With the event closing on June 10, the safest plan is to grab the items you already want now rather than waiting on a daily rotation. The PS VR2 headset, the Ghost of Yōtei Collector's Edition, and annual PlayStation Plus plans are the deals most likely to deliver the largest savings before the sale ends.
