PlayStation has been playing its cards right in 2023. After news of Microsoft’s deal to take over Activision Blizzard broke, Sony was worried about their market position. This is because PlayStation’s exclusive and fan-favorite title, Call of Duty, could potentially turn into an Xbox exclusive. However, PlayStation’s attempt to remain in the competition brought an amazing PlayStation July sale to the fans. This sale happened from 2nd to 12th June, giving major discounts on many PlayStation games.
Sony has planned to continue the trend, with yet another sale in association with Target. Recent news about discounts on PlayStation consoles for those who buy their Sony devices from Target has fans very excited.

In the United States, rumors suggest that after Target’s discount, other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy may also place PlayStation 5 devices on sale. However, some rumors also hinted at the company’s plan to release a new slim version of PlayStation 5 soon. Many think this might be the reason behind the discounted prices.
