PS5 Deals Surge: $200 Discount, Top-Selling Controllers, and New Bundles Excite Gamers Worldwide

PlayStation 5 owners are seeing significant price reductions on both the console and its official DualSense controller across multiple retailers in France, with discounts reaching up to 200 euros on the PS5 and sustained low pricing on the controller through major online platforms.

The official PlayStation Store in France has reduced the price of the PS5 Slim model by 200 euros, bringing it down to 399.99 euros from its original 599.99 euro price point, according to a direct listing observed on the platform. This represents one of the steepest official discounts offered by Sony for the current-generation console in the French market since its launch.

Simultaneously, the DualSense wireless controller has maintained a consistently low price on Amazon France, where it has been listed at 59.99 euros for several weeks — a figure that marks one of its lowest sustained prices since release. The controller, which typically retails for 69.99 euros, has seen repeated fluctuations but has not returned to its original price in recent monitoring periods.

Additional retailers have mirrored this trend. Ouest-France reported that a third-party site is offering the official DualSense controller at 49.99 euros, a price point described as unusually low for the peripheral and attributed to a limited-time promotional campaign tied to broader inventory clearance efforts.

Futura noted that a bundle combining the PS5 console with a digital copy of Fortnite is available for 409 euros through select online vendors, positioning the total cost below the standalone console price during the current promotional window. The bundle does not include a physical game disc but provides immediate access to the title upon account linkage.

Le Parisien cited consumer surprise at the controller’s pricing, noting that multiple users expressed disbelief at seeing the DualSense sold below 50 euros, with some comparing the cost to that of older-generation peripherals or third-party alternatives. The publication emphasized that the official controller remains subject to supply chain constraints despite the pricing.

BFM highlighted that the DualSense controller has appeared in Amazon France’s top-selling electronics category for several consecutive days, reinforcing its sustained popularity despite the reduced price point. The outlet noted that sales velocity has increased during the promotional period, though no official sales figures were disclosed by either Amazon or Sony.

No official statement from Sony Interactive Entertainment has been issued regarding the duration or rationale behind the pricing adjustments in France. Representatives from Sony France did not respond to requests for comment prior to publication.

The price adjustments appear to be isolated to the French market, with no equivalent reductions observed in the official PlayStation Stores of neighboring countries such as Germany, Spain, or Italy during the same period.

Retail analysts suggest the timing may correlate with anticipated spring inventory turnover ahead of potential hardware revisions, though no such revisions have been announced by Sony for the PS5 line as of this date.

The current promotional pricing remains active across participating platforms, with no announced end date for the PS5 console discount or the DualSense controller’s reduced listing on Amazon France.
