SAVE $50: As of March 24, 2023, the PlayStation 5 has seen its first major discount since launch — save $50 on the God of War Ragnarok bundle, just $509.99.


Oh, you thought last week's PlayStation 5 deal was good? Think again. For the first time since launch, the PS5 is officially on sale (the last one was a unique bundle that was exclusive to Dell) for $50 off the original price at multiple retailers. It's not going to last forever, so if you don't have a PlayStation 5 yet, it's time (especially now that you can actually get one).

Note that only the disc drive version qualifies for this discount, but at only $10 more than the digital edition, we'd say it's well worth the upgrade. With the bundle, you'll get the PlayStation 5 console itself, a DualSense controller, and a code to redeem your digital copy of God of War Ragnarok (one of 2022's best games) at the PlayStation Store.

The sequel to the 2018 hit, God of War, throws you right back into the story of Kratos and Atreus as they deal with the repercussions of setting Ragnarok (basically the end of the world) into motion. You'll travel throughout the nine realms in search of a way to change the course of the Ragnarok prophecy, encountering various foes along the way who will stop at nothing to keep you from meddling with fate. It's a must-play title on a must-have console.
