GTA 6: Sony cuts prices on refurbished PS5 consoles
Sony has dropped prices on its Certified Refurbished PS5 consoles and bundles through PS Direct, as reported on 22 October 2026. The discounts arrive as players look to buy a console before GTA 6 launches on November 19.
What is Sony's refurbished PS5 deal?
Sony's PS Direct store has cut prices on its Certified Refurbished PS5 consoles. GamesRadar+ reports that you can save $40 when you buy an extra controller alongside the console. The Verge puts the bundle at an extra $18 for a second controller, and says the refurbished console comes with the same one-year warranty as a new one.
The Verge reports savings of up to $100 compared with paying full price at other retailers. These are Sony's own refurbished units, sold directly by the company.
Why buy a PS5 before GTA 6 comes out?
GTA 6 arrives on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Verge notes that plenty of people are picking up a PS5 ahead of that date.
If you are one of them, a refurbished console from Sony is one way to spend less. It is the same hardware with a warranty, rather than a used console from a stranger.
Is a PC version of GTA 6 coming?
No PC version has been announced. Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for the November 19 launch, so a PlayStation or Xbox console is the way to play on day one.
What we're still waiting on
- Whether the refurbished PS5 discounts will last until the GTA 6 launch on November 19
- Whether Rockstar will announce a PC version of GTA 6
