Recently, Sony has begun to send promotional emails to PSN users with a $100 PlayStation Store voucher for those who upgrade to a PS5 console before September 20. They have been sending out the emails all month, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox, as you may have already received one to the email attached to your PSN account. Unfortunately, if you want to upgrade to the PS5 Slim specifically, you may find this difficult, as it’s been selling out since the PS5 price increase.
Who’s Receiving the Offer?
Many PSN users who aren’t on PS5 — but still on PS4 — have reported receiving the new promotional offer; however, the offer does not appear to be ubiquitous. This is typical of Sony promotional offers. Meanwhile, if you purchased a console before this offer went live, but haven’t booted it up yet, you may still be able to redeem the offer if you were sent an email in the first place. However, this is obviously not going to be applicable to many.
It may sound crazy to some to still be on the PS4 in 2025; however, in some markets around the world, last-gen consoles remain the prevailing machines due to affordability. And while we are five years deep into the PS5 generation, the PS4 continues to get new, big games.
Interestingly, this new offer comes amidst reports that Sony is preparing to stop supporting the PS4. To this end, perhaps it should come as no surprise that it’s making a bigger push than normal to get PS4 users onto either a PS5 or a PS5 Pro. All of that said, and as always, feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you think, or join the conversation over on the ComicBook Forum.
