Sony recently confirmed price increases across several PlayStation products, including the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal. The hikes were attributed to rising component costs tied to an ongoing memory supply crunch, which has made key hardware parts more expensive to source and manufacture.
But if you’ve been holding off on buying a PlayStation 5 because of the higher prices, there’s a timely deal worth knowing about. The official PlayStation Store has dropped the price of the PS5 Slim Digital Edition Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundle by a sizable amount. The bundle, which was previously listed at $599, is now available for $399 after a $200 discount.
What makes this offer stand out is that it undercuts both the recent inflated pricing and the console’s earlier standard cost. Before the price increases, this model was commonly priced at $499, meaning the current $399 deal is still $100 cheaper than what many buyers would have paid previously.
This is the PS5 Slim Digital Edition, so it doesn’t include a disc drive. You’ll be downloading games from the PlayStation Store rather than playing physical discs. If you prefer having the option to use discs later, Sony sells a separate disc drive accessory for $79.99 that can be added on afterward.
The Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundle also comes with bonus in-game extras for Fortnite. Along with 1,000 V-Bucks, you’ll get a collection of cosmetics and items, including the Blue Blossoms Wrap, Floral Finisher Pickaxe, Florin Outfit, Blossom Backpack Back Bling, Petal’s Edge Guitar, Blue Bloom Mic, and Petal Steppers Kicks.
For anyone searching for a PS5 deal, a PS5 Slim discount, or a console bundle that includes Fortnite items, this price drop is one of the more notable offers currently available directly through Sony’s official store.
