PlayStation’s Black Friday deals leaked: Big PS5, PS VR2 discounts


PlayStation’s Black Friday deals have reportedly leaked early, including significant price cuts for the base PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 headset.

Earlier this week, a Sony advert seemingly published early revealed that the platform holder will be cutting the price of the PlayStation ‘slim’ version console by $70 in the US.

Now, according to reliable leaker Bilbil-kun, the platform holder will be making a similar offer in Europe. According to Bilbil-kun, retailers will discount both digital and standard PS5 consoles by 75 euros, from November 22 until December 12, 2024.

In addition, PlayStation VR2 will reportedly receive a huge 200-euro discount in Europe, down to 399.99 euros from 599.99 euros.

Sony said last week that it shipped some 3.8 million PS5 consoles during its second quarter ended in September – down 29% compared to the same period last year – taking its life-to-date total to 65.5 million. This means that PS5 is a few million units behind where PS4 was during the same period of its lifecycle (67.5 million units shipped).

The PlayStation business is expected to post record operating income in Sony’s current fiscal year, partly due to strong sales of third-party games and PlayStation Plus subscriptions, and it intends to focus on a mix of single-player and live service games going forward.
