Sony has officially launched its highly anticipated PlayStation Spring Sale, delivering a massive PS5 console price drop that gamers have been waiting for. Running now through March 9, 2026, this event sees the hardware giant slashing $100 off select PlayStation 5 Slim bundles and Digital Edition consoles at major retailers including PlayStation Direct, Amazon, and Best Buy. Alongside the hardware savings, 2025's biggest blockbusters like Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and God of War Ragnarok have hit historic low prices, making this the perfect time to upgrade your setup.

Rare $100 Discount on PS5 Slim Consoles

The headline deal of this February event is undoubtedly the substantial price cut on hardware. Sony rarely discounts its flagship consoles outside of the holiday season, making this $100 reduction particularly significant. The savings apply primarily to the popular Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle, which is now available for approximately $399.99 for the Digital Edition and $449.99 for the Disc Edition.

This bundle not only includes the slimmer, more energy-efficient console model but also comes packed with exclusive in-game cosmetics and 1,000 V-Bucks, adding roughly $20-$30 of extra value. For those who have been on the fence about upgrading from a PS4, this price point matches the lowest we've seen since last Black Friday.

Where to Buy the Cheapest PS5 Bundles

Stock is moving quickly across all major storefronts. Currently, PlayStation Direct has the most consistent inventory, but competitive price matching is active at other retailers:

  • Amazon: Aggressive price matching on Slim Disc Editions.
  • Best Buy: Offering additional trade-in value for older consoles.
  • Walmart: frequent restocks of the Digital Edition bundles.

Death Stranding 2 and Major Game Discounts

Software deals are equally impressive during this sale. Hideo Kojima's masterpiece, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, has seen its first major price collapse since its release late last year. The stunning Collector’s Edition, which includes the life-sized BB pod replica and other physical collectibles, has plummeted from its $229.99 MSRP to just $130—a massive 43% discount that is likely to sell out fast.

For standard edition hunters, the game has dropped to $49.99, a solid entry point for one of the platform's most visually arresting titles. Other 2025 hits are also seeing deep cuts, with Ghost of Yotei receiving its first significant discount to roughly $49.99, down from the standard $70 price tag.

God of War Ragnarok Hits $19.99 Low

If you somehow missed Kratos's latest journey, there is no better time to jump in. God of War Ragnarok has hit a doorbuster price of $19.99, a staggering 71% off its original list price. This deal is available digitally via the PlayStation Store and physically at major retailers like Target and Best Buy.

This price point also applies to Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition, which includes the Burning Shores expansion. Getting hundreds of hours of AAA open-world gameplay for under $20 is arguably the best value proposition in gaming right now. Even the critically acclaimed platformer Astro Bot has dipped to a new low of $33, making it an essential pickup for family gaming.

Best PS5 Accessory Sales: Controllers and VR2

To round out the sale, Sony has discounted essential peripherals. The limited edition Death Stranding 2 DualSense controller, featuring the unique "Drawbridge" design and amber accents, is down to $64 (save $20). Standard DualSense controllers in various colors are also seeing $15-$20 price cuts across the board.

Virtual reality enthusiasts haven't been left out, either. The PlayStation VR2 headset is seeing a straight $100 discount on select bundles, bringing the entry cost down significantly for those wanting to experience Horizon Call of the Mountain or Gran Turismo 7 in VR. With these offers scheduled to end on March 9, 2026, inventory for these accessories—especially the limited edition items—is expected to be volatile.
