Huge PS5 Astro Bot Bundle Deal – Plus an Extra £50 Off with PlayStation’s Trade-In Offer

One of the biggest barriers to jumping into the current generation for PlayStation players has been the rising cost of living, squeezing wallets so tight that there’s sadly been no room for a PS5 in the budget.

In 2025, however, PlayStation has three new ways that get a new PS5 for less: an almost £110-saving Astro Bot Bundle, an added £50 bonus when trading in a PS4, or a hassle-free leasing option with low monthly payments. Scoring a PS5, my friend, is easier than ever right now.

PS5 Astro Bot Bundle – Save £109.99

For those almost ready to pull the trigger on buying a PlayStation 5, but have been waiting for a price drop, buying the Astro Bot bundle is the best way to get on board in more ways than one.

The bundle comes in two forms: you can either buy a PS5 Slim (with disc drive) & Astro Bot for £429.99 or purchase a Digital Edition PS5 Slim with Astro Bot for £339.99.

Whichever you go for, those prices are £109.99 lower than if you bought each console and the game individually, which you can put towards more games, another DualSense controller, or leave nestled safely in your savings account.

The delightfully beloved platformer that won Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2024, Astro Bot is arguably one of the best titles to have bundled with a new console if you haven’t had the chance to play it yet.

Since it’s a PEGI 7-rated celebration of PlayStation’s history & a fun adventure in its own right, it’s one of the finest for any gaming household, whether to play yourself or with the children in your family.

An Extra £50 Trading In A PS4 Console

Although trading in your PS4 to put towards a PS5 or PS5 Pro has been an option already, PlayStation is offering an extra £50 on top of what you would normally get for your old console, going as high as £150.

At PlayStation’s Trade-In hub page, you can quickly get your PS4 evaluated, ship your console over free of charge, and receive an added £50 voucher along with what you would get for the trade-in as standard.

For example, you could get £100 for a PS4 Pro in good condition and £50 with the trade-up voucher, totalling £150 off a £339.99 PS5 Digital Console & Astro Bot bundle, leaving you with only £189.99 left to pay for your shiny new PlayStation 5 console and added game to get you started.

If you already have a PS5, but your old PS4 has since been going unused and gathering dust, you can still send in your PlayStation 4 in and put your boosted trade-in money towards a PS VR2 headset—so you can jump into exclusive games like Horizon Call of the Mountain for a more affordable price.

Lease a PS5 with PlayStation Flex

For you who want to dive into the PS5 ecosystem but don’t have the immediate funds to do so, PlayStation Flex is the console-maker’s new interesting way to add a PS5 to your home for as low as a mere £10.99 a month.

This is thanks to PlayStation UK’s new partnership with Raylo, a top tech leasing service that has been on the service and earning high Trustpilot reviews since 2019.

Through the new PlayStation Flex page powered by Raylo, you can effectively set up a rental agreement and have a PS5 Pro, PS5 Slim, or PS5 Digital Edition delivered to your door. Including those consoles, you can also lease a PSVR 2 and some accessories too:

• Playstation 5 Pro consoles – from £18.95 a month
• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (with extra DualSense Controller) – from 13.95 a month
• PlayStation 5 Console (Slim with Disc Drive) – from £11.99 a month
• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – from £10.99 a month
• PlayStation Portal Remote Player – from £6.49 a month
• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition & Astro Bot Bundle – from £11.49 a month
• PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle – from £12.95 a month
• DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – from £7.99 a month

You can choose a 36-, 24-, 12- or rolling monthly lease with payments being lower the longer you sign up for. No matter which way, PlayStation Flex can make for a quick and easy barrier to entry to start your PS5 journey.
