The summer PlayStation State of Play showcase goes live today. We get more than a few State of Play broadcasts per year, but none quite as big as the big June show, and it all starts very soon. 

Just ahead of tomorrow’s giant summer PlayStation games showcase, Sony has taken to the official PlayStation Blog to finally unleash the pre-order and launch deals for its upcoming hardware – the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, the official new gaming monitor, and the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers. 

Sony officially announced the 2026 Days of Play Sale yesterday, just as we expected, and everything is going live today. The annual celebration features hundreds of digital game deals, price drops on physical PS5 games at Amazon and other major retailers, a rare deal on Ghost of Yotei at Walmart and Amazon, as well as deals on PS5 controllers, PS VR2, and more – it all goes live today. 

• Amazon PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals
• Walmart PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals
• Best Buy PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals

The 2026 PlayStation Days of Play sale has been officially announced. Sony has taken to the official PlayStation Blog to reveal details on the annual sale event and we have everything for you below. 

It is that time of year when the big game publishers start to announce their massive summer game showcases, and Sony has just penciled itself in with the next PlayStation State of Play. 

The barrage of price hikes continue, and just after Nintendo announced the price of Switch 2 was going up, as well as Switch Online in select regions, Sony is now following suite with PlayStation Plus. 

James Bond’s next outing on home consoles is quickly approaching if you have a PS5 or Xbox anyway – the Switch 2 version has been delayed until later this summer. We are, however, getting our first look at the new 007 First Light Limited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller. 

Update: PS5 hardware is scheduled to jump up in price at some point today.

Last week Sony announced sweeping and particularly significant upcoming price hikes across the current-generation PlayStation hardware – PS5 is about to get a whole lot more expensive. Starting this Thursday PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and PS5 Pro are going to be $100 and $150 more expensive and you might want to score one now before that happens. 

It’s not over yet folks. Not that anyone really thought it was, but prices on PlayStation hardware are going up…again. Sony has now officially announced price hikes on PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal remote player. 

While it was never the true modern PlayStation portable everyone wanted, Sony says it has steady growth on PlayStation Portal engagement and it is now ready to unleash some enhancements to the platform. 

Just after yesterday’s lengthy State of Play featuring the new God of War Remake Trilogy teaser and the now available for purchase God of War Sons of Sparta, as well as our first look at the new John Wick AAA title, Silent Hill: Townsend, the Control Resonant gameplay debut, Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 2, and much more, the President’s Day gaming deals at Amazon and elsewhere roll on. While you might want to just go score the new God of War Sons of Sparta at $29.99 in digital form via the PS Store, there are a host of ongoing deals up for grabs. We are also adding the Meal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition down at $89.99 Prime shipped (Reg. $200) in celebration of the MGS Collection Vol. 2 reveal and even more down below. 

PlayStation State of Play: God of War Remake Trilogy, John Wick game, Castlevania, Metal Gear, much more

Earlier this week Sony officially announced when its first major State of Play showcase of 2026 would be, and that day has arrived. Throughout the year we get our fair share of these things, some far less special than others, and while we aren’t sure exactly what’s on the slate this afternoon, all signs point to this being a serious showcase. 

Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to officially announce the next State of Play game showcase, and it sounds like it’s going to be a big one. 

Alongside the holiday PlayStation 5 Flowering Chaos Bundles with $100 in savings still rolling, Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to reveal next month’s PlayStation Plus monthly FREE games.
