Sony’s New PS5 Holiday Bundle Explained

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.

Sony’s Fortnite PS5 Bundle Holds Surprising In-Game Rewards in Store For Buyers

Every Fortnite Reward Offered in the PS5 Holiday Bundle

• 1,000 V-Bucks
• Cobalt Snowfoot Outfit (and LEGO variant)
• Cobalt Crash Drums (Fortnite Festival)
• Indigo Inverter Pickaxe
• Weathered Snow Stripes Wrap
• Sapphire Star Back Bling
• Discotheque Wheels – Gold Painted Style (Rocket Racing)
• Stella Trail – Gold Painted Style (Rocket Racing)
• Krackle Boost – Gold Painted Style (Rocket Racing)

For Fortnite-lovers who have been looking for the perfect time to get a PS5, this holiday bundle brings plenty of Fortnite-focused perks with it. Packaging exclusive rewards in a bundle like this can be controversial, especially with such a steep price tag, but it can still serve as a great holiday gift for Fortnite fans who prefer playing on the Sony console. Since the PS5 Pro is being sold for a jaw-dropping $699.99 USD, many who wish to forego that drain on the wallet can look forward to a solid holiday deal.

The PS5 Pro Holiday Bundle Offers Two Options

• PS5 Slim Console (Disc/Digital Options)
• A PS5 DualSense Controller is included

Despite its small size, the PS5 Slim compares quite well to its standard counterpart, and it boasts the added benefit of not taking up as much space. In addition, buyers can expect to also receive the beloved DualSense controller that has been hailed by many as Sony’s best controller to date.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 Taking Over the Upcoming Holiday Season

A Likely Spike in Sales is Expected For Sony’s Consoles

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. Now that a high-powered and impressive PS5 is now taking the stage, it will be fascinating to see how the brand-new console’s sales-numbers fare in the next few weeks leading up to the holidays.

Of course, the Cobalt Star PS5 Bundle isn’t the right choice for everyone, especially for those who already own a PS5 or PS5 Slim. However, for someone who is both a passionate Fortnite fan and a yet-to-be PS5 owner, this holiday season is a perfect storm with the arrival of this limited-time bundle.
