Sony's Days of Play sale has commenced for 2026, featuring a range of discounts on PlayStation accessories despite recent price increases for PS5 consoles. This annual promotion, typically running for two weeks from late May into mid-June, traditionally includes price reductions on PS5 hardware, but this year's event focuses on peripherals.
The most significant offer is a £90/$100 discount on the PSVR 2 virtual reality headset, bringing its price down considerably. This VR headset can be used natively with the PS5 for titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo 7, and Beat Saber, and is also compatible with PC games via a separately sold adapter. Reviewers have previously praised the headset's comfort, eye-tracking capabilities, the advanced Sense controllers, and its 4K OLED displays.
The Pulse Elite, Sony's premium wireless gaming headset, has also seen a price cut. This headset features planar magnetic drivers, a technology adopted from audiophile manufacturer Audeze, which contribute to enhanced bass, rich mid-range, and clear highs. It offers wireless connectivity through Bluetooth or the PlayStation Link receiver, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for wired use. Sony advertises up to 30 hours of battery life. The discounted price makes the Pulse Elite comparable to the street price of the older Pulse 3D model, offering more advanced features.
For those preferring in-ear audio, the PS5 Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are also discounted. These earbuds incorporate planar magnetic drivers for detailed sound reproduction and connect wirelessly via PlayStation Link or Bluetooth, ensuring compatibility with PS5, PlayStation Portal, PC, and mobile devices. They offer approximately five hours of battery life per charge, with the charging case providing an additional five hours. The earbuds feature a distinctive design and do not include active noise cancellation.
The pro-grade DualSense Edge controller, designed for enhanced customization, is also available at a reduced price. This controller allows users to remap buttons, adjust stick sensitivity, and create up to four custom profiles via PS5 software integration. It also features swappable stick modules and rear toggle switches for reduced trigger travel, enabling faster inputs. The controller retains the core design of the standard DualSense, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, though it is slightly heavier and has reduced battery capacity.
Additionally, numerous variants of the standard PS5 DualSense controllers have received price reductions. Standard controllers in colors like black, white, blue, and pink are available for £45. Special edition controllers, including the Ghost of Tsushima, Genshin Impact, and Techno Red variants, are priced at £55. In the US, these special editions are $64, matching the price of standard controllers and offering a significant saving for those looking for a second controller or a different aesthetic.
