If you\u2019re yet to upgrade to a PlayStation 5 console, now might be the ideal time to.<\/p>\n

Well, I say that, but insiders claim that the PlayStation<\/a> 6 is set to arrive in late 2027. You may want to wait and save up for that instead.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re simply itching though to get your hands on titles like Astro Bot, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part I, you could take advantage of this offer.<\/p>\n

PlayStation 4 owners can currently get up to \u00a3150 off a PlayStation 5<\/a> console by trading in directly with PlayStation in partnership with BackMarket.<\/p>\n

You Only Have Until 31 March To Make Use Of This Trade-In Offer<\/p>\n

As for how this works, a PlayStation 4 Pro in good condition holds a value of \u00a3100 with BackMarket offering a \u00a350 \u2018Trade-Up Voucher\u2019 for those looking to upgrade as opposed to just trade in.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how you nab \u00a3150 off a PlayStation 5. A PS5 Digital costs \u00a3429, so with the discount, it would set you back just \u00a3279.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s totally free to ship in your device.<\/p>\n

Of course, that example valuation is for a PlayStation 4 Pro, so what\u2019s offered will vary depending on the type and condition of your console.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to get a value though before shipping your console in.<\/p>\n

\"PS5Sony<\/p>\n

As for what you can trade in for, you aren\u2019t limited to a certain PS5. You can opt for a PlayStation 5 Pro, base model, or one bundled with an additional DualSense.<\/p>\n

You can also trade in your PS4 for a PSVR2 if you really want to, although I doubt that\u2019s going to be the most popular choice.<\/p>\n

If this is of interest, simply head over to PlayStation Direct<\/a> where you can begin your trade-in.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have too long left to make use of this offer. The last day for voucher redemptions is on 31 March at 11.59pm GMT and yes, this offer is only open to residents of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Having a peruse of the terms and conditions adds that the \u00a3100 PlayStation 4 Pro estimate is based on \u201ca functional PS4 Pro, with two controllers, 1000 GB, in good condition as of 01\/01\/25. Trade-in value changes regularly and depends on factors such as console model, condition, storage capacity, and more\u201d.<\/p>\n

There may be more lucrative ways of ridding yourself of your old console, but I suppose this process offers a simple and seamless option, and that\u2019s always a major selling point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re yet to upgrade to a PlayStation 5 console, now might be the ideal time to.
