Sony has confirmed the arrival of a new PS5 Slim Bundle featuring NBA 2K26, set to launch on September 5. This package includes the disc version of the PlayStation 5 Slim, a DualSense wireless controller, and a digital voucher for the highly anticipated basketball title. The bundle coincides with the global release of NBA 2K26 across all major gaming platforms.
Pricing for the new bundle has not yet been disclosed, but expectations point toward a higher cost following Sony’s recent price adjustments. The standard PS5 Slim now retails for $550, up from $500, while the Digital Edition has risen to $450. Given these increases, the NBA 2K26 bundle is likely to be more expensive than earlier promotional offers. For reference, a previous Call of Duty bundle provided significant savings, though such deals tend to be short-lived.
Availability will vary by region, with PlayStation Direct expected to carry the bundle alongside select local retailers. Those hesitant about the potential price or uninterested in NBA 2K26 may still find older pricing on certain e-commerce platforms. Amazon, for instance, continues to list the PS5 Slim at its original $500 price point for the time being, though this may not last.
For gamers planning to purchase NBA 2K26 separately, preorders are currently open. The standard edition is priced at $70, while digital-only special editions offer additional content and early access. Each preorder includes a bonus of 10,000 Virtual Currency. More details on edition differences and preorder incentives can be found in dedicated preorder guides.
