Sony is offering a new promotion to boost sales of its PlayStation 5 console. The deal, which runs until October 20, 2023, offers a free game to anyone who purchases a new PS5 and activates it during the promotional period. The promotion includes a range of first-party exclusives that are normally priced at $70, such as God of War Ragnarök and The Last of Us Part 1.
The list of games that can be redeemed for free includes Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Demon’s Souls, The Last of Us Part I, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Returnal, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.
This latest promotion is part of a new upgrade program for PSN users and is aimed at encouraging more customers to purchase the PS5. Sony is trying to hit a record-breaking 25 million consoles shipped for 2023, and this promotion is one of its latest efforts to achieve that goal.
The promotion comes after the release of a discounted God of War Ragnarök bundle that included the console and game for $510 total. The bundle deal is still ongoing, and customers who purchase it can get two free games with their new PS5.
The latest PS5 promotion also coincides with the release of Spider-Man 2 on October 20, 2023, which is one of the first big Sony first-party blockbusters to be a “next-gen” PS5 exclusive. Sony is clearly hoping to sweeten the deal for potential customers and entice more players to purchase the PS5.
It is worth noting that Returnal and Demon’s Souls remake are both currently priced at $70, while the Spider-Man games are heavily discounted. Customers can get both Spider-Man: Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales for just $40 through the Ultimate Edition of the latter, which comes bundled with the former. However, this promotion ends on September 28, 2023.
Overall, Sony’s latest promotion is a great opportunity for customers to get a free game with their new PS5 purchase. With a wide range of first-party exclusives to choose from, customers are sure to find a game that suits their preferences.
