If you’re in the market for new hardware, keep an eye on PlayStation Direct or your preferred retailer for discounts on PS5 consoles, PlayStation VR2, games, and accessories like DualSense wireless controllers, Pulse Elite wireless headset, Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. Sony is also launching a special PS5 Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle. These discounts will be in the form of MSRP reductions, but retailers may offer their own bundles based on these prices.

What exact discounts can you expect? Sony hasn’t revealed all the details yet, but according to French deals site Dealabs, there will be discounts on PS5 and PSVR 2:
