The new year has ushered in a wave of significant price reductions across Sony's PlayStation 5 range, offering gamers a prime opportunity to upgrade their setup. As the January sales hit full stride, substantial discounts are now available on the entire PS5 console family, from the digital-only Slim to the high-powered Pro model, alongside a host of popular game titles.
Top Console Discounts to Grab Now
Retailers across the UK have slashed prices on Sony's hardware. A standout offer is on the PS5 Slim digital edition, now priced at just £289.99 at Argos, down from £429.99 – a saving of £140. This lighter, smaller console retains the full performance of the original and comes with 1TB of storage. For those who prefer physical media, the disc edition of the Slim has been reduced to £379 at Very, down from £479.
The premium PS5 Pro has also seen notable cuts. Currys is offering the advanced console for £579, reduced from £689, while Game has a bundle including 'EA Sports FC 26' for £609.99, down from £699.99. The Pro, launched in 2024, offers enhanced specs like 8K support, improved ray tracing, and double the internal storage of the base model.
Unmissable Bundles and Game Discounts
Several retailers are offering compelling package deals. Very has a particularly strong bundle where the PS5 Slim digital edition (825GB) comes with 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' and a separate disc drive for £389, a huge £160 saving compared to buying each item individually. This deal persists from the Black Friday period.
The PlayStation Store's New Year promotion also means major game titles are heavily discounted. 'God of War Ragnarok' is now just £20.99 at Argos, cheaper than its Black Friday price, while the acclaimed 'Cyberpunk 2077' is 40% off at £29.95 on Amazon. These cuts provide the perfect chance to build a new game library affordably.
Essential Accessories on Offer
The savings extend to peripherals. The white PS5 DualSense controller is 30% off at Very, priced at £40.99. Sony's Pulse Elite wireless headset is down to £104.99 at Argos, which is even lower than its Black Friday price. Furthermore, the PlayStation Portal remote player, which rarely sees discounts, is £179 at Currys, down from £199. This device allows for streaming games from your PS5 and now supports cloud streaming.
