This PS5 Digital Edition deal drops the price to $399.99 (save $100), even if you ignore the Fortnite bundle

If you’ve been waiting for a PS5 price that feels straightforward and worth jumping on, this is it. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition 825GB (Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle) is down to $399.99 (was $499.99), saving you $100. And here’s the key point: this is a genuinely good deal even if you don’t care about Fortnite. The bundle bonus is nice if you’ll use it, but the real win is getting a PS5 Digital for $399.99, which is the kind of price that makes the console feel less like a luxury purchase and more like a smart buy.

You’re getting a PS5 Digital Edition with 825GB storage, which means it’s built for people who buy and download games rather than collecting discs. It’s the cleanest setup: no physical media, quick access to your library, and easy switching between games.

The included Fortnite bundle is basically extra value on top. If you play Fortnite, great. If you don’t, you can treat it as a free add-on and focus on what matters: you’re still getting the console at a meaningful discount.

A $100 price cut is the kind of discount that actually changes the decision. It can cover a game, a second controller, or a chunk of a subscription, which means you’re not just saving money on paper—you’re reducing the “all-in” cost of getting started.

This deal also makes sense because the PS5 Digital Edition is ideal for modern buying habits. A lot of the best deals and convenience are in digital storefront sales anyway, and if you already know you’re not a disc person, there’s no reason to pay extra for a disc drive you won’t use.

The only real caution is that you should be sure you’re comfortable going all-digital. If you like trading games, borrowing discs, or buying physical copies on sale, you’ll probably want the disc version instead.

At $399.99, this is a strong buy if you want a PS5 and you’re fine going all-digital, and it’s worth grabbing even if the Fortnite extras don’t matter to you. If you want physical discs in your life, the bundle is still tempting, but you should hold out for a similar discount on the disc model.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
