If you find yourself seeking a PlayStation 5 console, this may be the perfect moment to make a purchase. Due to Nintendo postponing Switch 2 preorders in the US to assess the effects of newly implemented tariffs on imported items, future prices for all products, including various gaming hardware, could fluctuate in the coming months. PlayStation already increased the price of the PS5 in Japan last year, so a price hike in the US wouldn’t be surprising—even without considering the tariff situation.
Moreover, there’s another great reason to acquire a PlayStation 5 right now: You may score an exceptional deal. PlayStation launched PS5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Astro Bot bundles in March. These bundles are priced $50 lower than the console alone, and you also receive a copy of one of the most compelling PS5 exclusives. In fact, you could save $110 compared to buying the console and Astro Bot ($60) separately.
Amazon and Walmart are offering the bundles for $1 less than various other retailers. These PS5 bundles will only be available for a limited time.
- Astro Bot PS5 Slim Bundle — $449
- Astro Bot PS5 Slim Digital Bundle — $399
You may also acquire the bundles at
Diagram, Best Acquire, and PS Overview. With many PS5 bundles available, you may find a coupon inside the package to obtain the digital version of Astro Bot from the PlayStation Store.
Astro Bot received outstanding reviews following its release last year, as the Crew Asobi-developed platform game was celebrated for its enjoyable level design, refined gameplay, and the features of the DualSense controller. It was recognized as one of GameSpot’s top 10 games of 2024, and at last year’s Game Awards, it secured the title of Game of the Year during the event hosted by Geoff Keighley.
Every PS5 console includes Astro’s Playroom, a complimentary title offering several hours of gameplay that showcased the innovative technology of the DualSense. Astro’s Playroom can also be seen as the precursor to Astro Bot, making it worthwhile to experience this delightful free offering before immersing yourself in the main game.
