Sony Brings Year-End Bonanza: Massive Discounts on PS5 Games, Controllers and Accessories, Sale Starts December 23

As 2025 draws to a close, Sony has delivered a major surprise for gaming enthusiasts. The company has announced the “PlayStation Holiday Sale 2025”, offering heavy discounts on PlayStation 5 accessories, headsets, and selected game titles. The sale will run from December 23, 2025, to January 5, 2026, and will be available across both online and offline retail platforms.

Notably, this time the sale does not include the PS5 Slim or Disc Edition consoles. Instead, Sony has chosen to focus exclusively on accessories and top game titles.

A Treat for Gamers

This holiday season, Sony is not limiting discounts to accessories alone. Several of its best-selling games are also being offered at significantly reduced prices.

PlayStation exclusives such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarok are now available at 50% off. Spider-Man 2 is priced at ₹2,599, while God of War Ragnarök can be purchased for ₹2,099. Meanwhile, the classic title Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is available for ₹1,599.

These revised price points present a strong opportunity for users who have been waiting to experience PS5 exclusives at more accessible prices.

Global Pricing and Deals

Sony’s global holiday sale is also live in markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, and Australia. The timeline remains largely consistent across regions — from December 23 through January 2026. However, when it comes to pricing, the Indian market appears more competitive in several categories.

• United States: PS5 Slim starting at $449 (approx. ₹37,800), with 20–40% discounts on VR2 and games.
• United Kingdom: DualSense controller priced at £45 (approx. ₹5,000).
• Japan: PlayStation VR2 available at ¥45,000 (approx. ₹25,000).
• Canada: Games discounted by up to 40%.
• Australia: Pulse Elite headset priced at AUD 229 (approx. ₹12,500).

A comparison shows that in India, certain products — particularly Pulse Explore Earbuds and PlayStation VR2 — are priced more attractively than in overseas markets. Sony appears to be delivering on its promise of offering globally competitive pricing to the Indian gaming community.

Where to Find These Holiday Deals in India

According to the latest updates, the sale will be available online via Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Zepto, and ShopAtSC. Offline shoppers can also take advantage of the discounts at Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, and Sony Center stores.

Sony is promoting the campaign under its “Year-End Celebration” theme, aiming to make the New Year particularly special for gamers across the country.

What Makes This Sale Special?

This is the first time Sony India has promoted PlayStation 5 accessories and games together under a unified global holiday theme. Traditionally, such sales in India are held in January or March, but this time the company has aligned the launch with the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

Industry observers point to two key reasons behind this move:

1. The successful launch of products like PS5 Slim and PlayStation Portal in 2025.
2. The rapidly expanding PlayStation user base in India, which continues to show strong demand for new accessories and game titles.

As a result, Sony has designed the Holiday Sale 2025 as a “gratitude-driven offer,” giving existing users a chance to upgrade while making it easier for new players to enter the PlayStation ecosystem.

Why the Focus on Accessories Instead of Consoles?

Some gamers may question why Sony has excluded consoles from this sale. According to industry insights, the company is currently managing the retail supply of PS5 Slim and PS5 Disc Edition in a controlled manner. Demand in India remains consistently strong, which is why Sony is avoiding console discounts for now.

By offering deals on accessories and game titles instead, Sony can strengthen its overall gaming ecosystem. This approach benefits both new users looking to switch to PS5 and existing players planning to upgrade their gaming setup.

Sale Dates and Purchase Details

• Sale Period: December 23, 2025 – January 5, 2026
• Online Platforms: Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Zepto, ShopAtSC
• Offline Retailers: Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Sony Center
• Payment Options: Major credit and debit cards, EMI plans, and digital wallets

Most offers will be subject to stock availability, and gamers are advised to make their purchases early to avoid missing out.

Indian Gaming Market Gains Global Priority

The PlayStation Holiday Sale 2025 is more than just a discount campaign — it reflects Sony’s evolving strategy in India. The company is now positioning the Indian gaming market within its global priority tier, which is why offer timelines closely align with those in the US and European markets.

India’s gaming industry continues to grow at a rapid pace. Reports suggest that by the end of 2025, the country will have over 8 million PlayStation users, underlining Sony’s increasing focus on the region.
