What's actually getting discounted
Here's the lowdown on the accessory deals Sony is leading with this year:
The $100 cut on PlayStation VR2 is the headline number here. That headset has been sitting at a price point that kept a lot of players on the fence, so this is the most meaningful discount in the lineup for anyone who's been waiting for a reason to pull the trigger.
On the software side, the PS Store Days of Play sale goes live tomorrow with what Sony describes as "hundreds" of discounted PS5 and PS4 titles. Confirmed games include Ghost of Yotei, Helldivers 2, Death Stranding 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered, according to the official PlayStation Blog post. The full list won't be visible until the sale actually goes live, which has frustrated some players who prefer to plan their purchases in advance.
Players in the Japan PS Store can already browse the active sale ahead of other regions going live. Early reports from the community suggest Sekiro is sitting at 50% off, though regional pricing may vary.
The one thing missing from this year's sale
No PS5 console discounts. That was rumoured ahead of the announcement and confirmed when Sony published the official details. Given the wave of system price increases that have hit multiple regions in recent months, the absence of any hardware deal is going to sting for anyone who was holding out for a cheaper entry point.
The PS Plus membership offer is also part of Days of Play, with new subscribers able to save up to 33% on a 12-month plan. The key here is that word "new" , existing subscribers looking to renew at a discount are once again left out, a pattern that's become a reliable source of frustration in the PlayStation community.

A sale shaped by recent price hikes
This year's Days of Play arrives in a specific context. Sony has raised PS5 hardware prices in several markets and bumped PS Plus subscription costs, which makes the absence of console deals and the limited membership discounts feel more pointed than they might in another year. The accessory discounts are genuine, but they're also discounts on products that were priced higher than many players expected to begin with.
What most players miss in these situations is that the software side of the sale tends to deliver the real value. Hundreds of discounted titles across PS5 and PS4 is a broad net, and if Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are representative of the depth of the lineup, there's real money to be saved for anyone with a backlog to fill.

What to do before the sale goes live
The sale opens tomorrow, May 27, and runs until June 10 , that's two full weeks to make decisions. The full PS Store game list will be visible once the sale flips on, so building a wishlist now is the most practical move. If the Japan store preview is accurate for your region, early community reports suggest solid discounts on some legacy titles alongside the confirmed first-party lineup.
For players who want to make the most of the two-week window, our gaming guides are a good place to research the games you're considering before committing.
