While Black Friday promises to be one of the most competitive in recent years, Sony is preparing a major price offensive on its PlayStation 5. Credible leaks indicate that all models of the console will benefit from significant price reductions. Explanations.
Substantial discounts in sight
According to revelations shared by the very reliable insider billbil-kunwell known for its accurate information on PlayStation offers, the three main models of PS5 – standard, digital and Pro – will see their price drop by 100 to 150 euros for Black Friday in Europe.
Here are the anticipated discounts:
| PS5 model | Current price | Estimated Black Friday Price | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Standard (disc player) | €549 | €449 | -100 € |
| PS5 Digital (without reader) | €499 | €349 | -150 € |
| PS5 Pro (new muscular version) | €799 | €699 | -100 € |
| PS5 Fortnite Pack – Standard Edition | €549 | €449 | -100 € |
| PS5 Fortnite Pack – Digital Edition | €499 | €349 | -150 € |
These offers should appear in several French and European brands, both online and in stores. If they are officially confirmed, these will be the biggest promotions on the PS5 since its launch in 2020.
Why is Sony releasing these promos now?
These reductions are not trivial. Several factors explain this price repositioning:
- Stimulating demand before Christmas : The end of the year remains crucial for console sales. With an already strong user base, these discounts could convert the last holdouts.
- Increased competition : With the rise of Game Pass on Xbox and the arrival of Valve’s Steam Machine, Sony is seeking to defend its territory.
- Stock flow : Some observers also see a desire to prepare for the arrival of new bundles, or even a renewal of the PS5 range in 2026.
What should you expect in terms of availability?
If we rely on previous years, these offers risk to leave very quickly. Available stocks are often limited for the most attractive packs, particularly those related to Fortnite or digital editions.
Advice : Create alerts now on your favorite online stores and be ready to buy as soon as Black Friday sales open.
And on the international side?
At this stage, the price reductions only concern Europe. No confirmation has been given regarding the North American or Asian markets. However, Sony has always applied global discounts on accessories and games globally during Black Friday. It is therefore likely that other regions will also benefit from promotions.
An opportunity not to be missed
With this price offensive, Sony strategically repositions its PS5 for an explosive end of the year. Whether you’re a single player, a multiplayer enthusiast, or curious about PS VR2, it’s never been more interesting to take the plunge.
In brief :
- Discounts up to €150
- Availability from Black Friday (November 22-24)
- Stocks probably limited
- Perfect opportunity for latecomers or as a Christmas gift
