Sony has revealed it’s putting base PS5 systems on a limited-time sale in the UK, which knocks up to £90 off the current price. From now until 1st October, you can get a base PS5 Digital Edition for £339.99.
Here’s how the temporary sale affects PS5 pricing in the UK:
Base PS5 Digital£339.99 (-£90)Base PS5 w/ Disc Drive£434.99 (-£45)
There are also bundles on sale that contain an extra PS5 DualSense controller or two years of PS Plus Premium. Those deals also offer anywhere between a £45 and £90 saving until 1st October 2025, leaving you with just under two weeks to take advantage if you’re in the market for a new PS5.

Of course, the rebuttal here is that the sale simply lowers the PS5 consoles back down to around the prices they were at before recent cost increases.
At launch, the base PS5 Digital Edition was £360 while the base PS5 containing a disc drive was £450. Almost two years later, in August 2022, the former went up to £390 and the latter £480. More recently, earlier this April, the PS5 Digital Edition increased in price again to £430. This new sale at least brings the two models more in line with their release prices — for a limited time.
