According to aDealabs report publishedby reliable insider billbil-kun, the 2024 Days of Play event is set to kick off next Wednesday, May 29, and run up until June 12. The report also lists some potential discounts for various PlayStation products, such as a flat 25% reduction for all PlayStation Plus tiers, a €100 price drop for the PlayStation VR2 headset, and DualSense controllers, excluding the premium DualSense Edge variant, receiving a price cut to €50. Sony hasconfirmed PC support for the PS VR2later in the year, so the rumored price drop is quite tantalizing for the capable headset.
Those Waiting for a PS5 Price Drop May Be in Luck
Rather surprisingly, the PS5 console itself could finally see an enticing price cut as well, with both the disc and digital editions claimed to be receiving a €50 (possibly $50 USD) drop in price. Considering the recent report that revealed nearlyhalf the PlayStation userbase hasn’t upgraded to the PS5yet, the 2024 Days of Play might be the perfect opportunity for those waiting to buy the current-gen console at a reduced price, as well as take advantage of the game discounts to bolster their purchase.

Interestingly, the rumored start date for the 2024 Days of Play promotion period aligns with previous rumors hinting at a PlayStation Showcase happening around the same timeframe, speculated to be at the end of May. Industry insiderNick “Shpeshal Nick” Baker is the latestto add to the pile of rumors, suggesting a potential PlayStation event set to air on May 28. With the growing heap of reports and just over a week left before May ends, an officialPlayStation Showcase announcement from Sonymay very well be imminent.
