New discounts, New bundles, and new rumors as Sony prepares a major holiday push.
New reports say that Sony is planning one of its biggest sales campaigns in years, just as people are getting excited about the holiday shopping season. The 2025 Black Friday sale may be a turning point in Sony’s plan as the company moves further into its mid-generation refresh cycle. The PS5 price will drop significantly, and bundles will be updated.
The biggest report today is a report that says the PlayStation 5 is on sale for a lot less in Europe. It paints a very good picture for anyone still waiting for the right price.
The report says that Sony is planning price cuts of at least €100 for all PS5 models, including the brand-new PlayStation 5 Pro. This will be the first official price drop for the mid-generation powerhouse. Sony will be running one of the biggest PS4 sales efforts it has had in years if the leak turns out to be true.
One of the biggest deals on consoles in years.
The price cuts announced are shocking. The standard PlayStation 5 with a disc drive is said to be going from €549 to €449. The Digital Edition is said to be going from €499 to just €349. That’s a huge €150 discount, even though Sony says the sale is “at least €100 off.”
Also, the just-announced Fortnite: Flowering Chaos deal, which comes with both a disc and a digital copy, will start at the same low prices. This timing highly suggests that Sony is ready for a big boost in holiday sales and wants bundles ready to go on the first day of the promotion.
The PlayStation 5 Pro may be the most interesting part of the leak. Since the model came out, Sony hasn’t changed the price anywhere in the world yet, but the Black Friday leak says it will go from €799 to €699 in Europe. This is similar to Sony’s Days of Play 2025 deals, but it looks like the price applies to an even wider range of hardware.
If the US market follows suit, which Sony often does on Black Friday, the PS5 Digital Edition could be sold in stores for $349. This would be the lowest price for a PlayStation system in this generation.
A PS5 for €349 could change the holiday market.
There are some changes that you should know about. The PS5 Pro costs $749, not $799, in the US. Because of this, some people think that the Black Friday discount in the United States might be closer to $649, keeping with the €100 discount trend. Even though nothing is official, Sony has often timed deals very well in the US and Europe, especially when big stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart take part.
People are also interested in the leaked schedule. The Black Friday sale is set to start on November 21, 2025, and last for about two weeks. This shows that Sony wants to take over the early holiday period instead of waiting for the usual Thanksgiving weekend rush.
This approach is similar to what other companies have done in the past few years: they’ve started deals earlier to get customers before their budgets run out. Sony seems to be getting ready for a big sales boost, either to compete with Microsoft’s marketing efforts or get ready for new hardware releases.
