It’s been a big year for the PlayStation 5, and Sony’s hit console is set to get a huge deal with an upcoming bundle for the holiday season. For those looking to finally get one’s hands on a PlayStation 5, the console’s holiday bundle will likely offer a cheaper price tag than the new PS5 Pro counterpart while also featuring some major Fortnite-based rewards. From V-Bucks to in-game cosmetics, Sony’s special bundle could present the perfect opportunity for many to get a PS5 that offers even more than a console.
November is a big year for Sony, as the PS5 Pro launches on November 7. In addition to this big release date, The Fortnite Cobalt Star PS5 Console Bundle will be available for purchase on November 22. As both consoles arrive just in time for the holidays, both the PS5 Pro and this special Fortnite bundle give prospective buyers two options that cater to those looking for different price points. Although this bundle may not have the same impressive specs as the long-awaited PS5 Pro, it is still a great option for gamers who have yet to move on from the PS4.

Between the PS5 Pro and the Cobalt Star PS5 Bundle, it appears that Sony is aiming to rack up some serious sales to close out the end of the year. After both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S experienced supply chain issues when they launched in 2020, recent years have been far kinder to Sony and Microsoft’s supply numbers.
