Sony’s month-long holiday promotion brings welcome discounts to its PlayStation ecosystem, perfect for gamers looking to upgrade their setup without breaking the bank. The spotlight shines on the PlayStation Portal remote player, now available for just $179, a solid $21 savings off its regular $200 price. This handheld device, offered in both Midnight Black and White, combines a crisp display with full DualSense controller features, letting you stream games seamlessly over Wi-Fi. While originally requiring a PS5, a recent firmware update now enables full cloud streaming capabilities, expanding its functionality significantly.
Complementing the Portal are several PlayStation audio accessories also enjoying Black Friday pricing. The Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds, available in both color options, drop to $169 from $200. These earbuds ship with six different tips for optimal comfort and support advanced PS5 audio technologies including Tempest 3D AudioTech. With two discreet microphones for clear communication and a battery life reaching five hours, they represent a compelling wireless audio solution. Similarly, the Pulse Elite Wireless Headset sees a price reduction to $129, down from $149. This over-ear model delivers excellent sound quality with spatial audio support, a retractable boom microphone, and plush earcup materials for extended comfort. Its package includes a PlayStation Link USB adapter, a USB-C charging cable, a charging hanger, and a mounting plate for convenient storage.
For those without a PS Plus Premium membership, the PlayStation Portal operates through Remote Play, requiring a connection to your PS5. Fortunately, Sony has also discounted all PS5 console models, with pricing starting at an attractive $450, making it easier to jump into big-screen gaming when desired.
The savings extend deeply into PlayStation’s game library. Nearly every PS5 exclusive title currently carries a sale tag, from recent heavyweights like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Lost Soul Aside to celebrated classics. Substantial discounts have been applied to major hits, with prices falling into the $20 to $30 range for games such as God of War Ragnarok, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.
PS5 owners can also save $20 on all DualSense wireless controllers during this holiday event. This offer encompasses the standard models as well as sought-after limited editions like the Astro Bot Joyful, God of War 20th Anniversary, and the striking Ghost of Yotei controllers with their distinctive gold or black accents. With the promotion running through December 18, and considering last year’s rapid sell-outs, acting quickly is advisable for anyone interested. For gamers seeking a more personalized experience, the premium DualSense Edge wireless controller is also discounted, now priced at $169 instead of its usual $200.
