Boxing Day 2025 has delivered a festive bonanza for gamers across the UK, with significant price reductions hitting the PlayStation 5 console family and a host of popular titles. For those who missed the Black Friday promotions, this post-Christmas sale period offers a second chance to secure serious savings on Sony's flagship gaming hardware and software.
Where to Find the Best Console Bundles
The headline offers this year feature substantial discounts across all PS5 models. The cutting-edge PS5 Pro has seen notable price plunges, with a bundle including 'EA Sports FC 26' available for £609.99, down from £699.99 at Game. For those seeking the console alone, Currys is offering the Pro for just £579, a saving of £110 from its original £689 price tag.
Meanwhile, the PS5 Slim disc edition has been reduced to £379 at Very, down from £479. A particularly standout bundle at the same retailer pairs the PS5 Digital Edition (825GB) with 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' and a separate disc drive for £380, a dramatic £169 saving compared to buying each component individually at full price.
Notable Discounts on Games and Accessories
The savings extend far beyond the consoles themselves. PlayStation's traditional end-of-year sale is in full swing, slashing prices on AAA games. 'God of War Ragnarok' is now just £20.99 at Argos, a price lower than its Black Friday offering and a reduction from £59.99. Amazon has 'Cyberpunk 2077' for £29.95 (was £49.99) and the acclaimed indie title 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' for £28.99, down from £49.99.
Essential accessories are also discounted. The white PS5 DualSense controller is 31% off at Very, priced at £39.99 instead of £59.99. The PlayStation Portal remote player, which rarely sees price cuts, is available for £179 at Currys, £20 below its standard £199 cost.
Expert Insights and How Long to Shop
These deals have been curated and verified by Alex Lee, Senior Tech Critic at The Independent, who has tracked prices across multiple retailers to identify genuine bargains. In his review, he praised the PS5 Pro as "the best console out right now," highlighting its 8K graphics, improved ray tracing, and superior performance over rivals.
The Boxing Day sales are expected to run until 31 December, before merging into the January sales. This period, known as the Golden Quarter, is historically the ideal time for major purchases like gaming consoles, with retailers like Currys, Amazon, and Argos competing on price.
Shoppers are advised to act quickly on these limited-time offers, especially on the rarely discounted PlayStation Portal and the record-low prices for top-tier games like God of War Ragnarok.
