Sony recently announced a new NBA 2K26 PS5 Slim Bundle<\/a> is set to arrive on September 5. As the name implies, this will include the PS5 Slim model with a disc drive, a DualSense controller, and the upcoming NBA 2K26. It’s arriving on September 5, the same day NBA 2K26 launches on PS5, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch. We’re still waiting on pricing details for the new bundle, but considering Sony increased the PS5’s price on August 21, we’re expecting it to be more expensive than previous bundles. Still, bundles like this are always popular, so set a reminder for September 5 if you’re thinking about picking one up.<\/p>\n

Pricing TBA<\/a> <\/p>\n

The PS5 Slim NBA 2K26 Bundle pulls together a PlayStation 5 console, DualSense Controller, and a digital voucher for NBA 2K26. It’s unclear what format the game is–tough judging by previous bundles, we expect it will be a digial code.<\/p>\n

The bigger question is price. The base PS5 Slim now costs $550 (was $500) and PS5 Slim Digital costs $500 (was $450–and before that was $400 at launch), we’re expecting this to be pricier than previous bundles. For example, a PS5 Slim Digital Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Bundle<\/a> was previously available for just $400, offering a value of $570. The bundle didn’t last long at that promotional price, and we’d expect this upcoming NBA 2K26 bundle to be much more expensive. At the very least, we’re hoping the bundle ends up being cheaper than buying everything individually. Expect to learn more as we quickly approach its September 5 release date. Availability of the bundle will vary by region. Most markets should find it on PlayStation Direct, though other local retailers may also have inventory.<\/p>\n

If you’re worried about pricing–or don’t need NBA 2K26, consider grabbing a PS5 at Amazon. The online retailer still offers all three PS5 models at their previous price points–meaning you can get the PS5 Slim<\/a> for $500, the PS5 Slim Digital<\/a> for $450, or the PS5 Pro for $700<\/a>. We don’t know how long these prices will remain, so grab one while you can.<\/p>\n

PS5 Consoles at Amazon<\/p>\n

For those looking to pick up NBA 2K26 on its own, you can preorder it now on PS5 and all other platforms<\/a>. There are three editions of the game available, all of which include 10,000 Virtual Currency as a preorder bonus. Physical preorders for the $70 standard edition are available now at multiple online retailers. You can also grab the digital-only $100 Leave No Doubt Edition and $150 Superstar Edition that include a bunch of exclusive content, a Season Pass, and 7-day early access to the full game starting August 28. See our NBA 2K26 preorder guide <\/a>for more information.<\/p>\n
