Gamers Can Score the Premium DualSense Edge PS5 Controller With 15% Off if You're Quick
PlayStation Days of Play is back again this year, and it's bringing with it a huge number of excellent deals on all things PlayStation. While it's easy to look towards consoles and games, we think that one of the best things you can do is treat yourself to something you'll use just as much as the console itself. Well, if you want to try and upgrade how you play games on your PS5, then the DualSense Edge is a great way to start. Thanks to a deal on Amazon right now, you can currently get this powerful controller for $169, which is 15% off the usual price. Act fast though, as it's not likely to last long. In his review of it, CNET expert Sean Booker said that, "The DualSense Edge fills a hole that was missing from PlayStation's portfolio. Small additions like the textured grip and the grooves on the triggers are appreciated. And being able to adjust deadzone and completely replace an analog stick gives this controller a much longer life." Booker didn't love the battery life though, so keep make sure you've got a decently long cable to help offset that. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. If you're happy you've got a new controller but don't know what to play next, then we recommend making the most of some really solid discounts with the best PlayStation Plus deals. The highest tier can be a little over 50% off, so it's definitely worth checking out. Why this deal matters The DualSense Edge is one heck of a controller, but there's no denying that the price tag is a hard thing to deal with for most people. So, a deal like this that makes it more affordable, albeit still pricey, is a good one to check out and make the most of if you can afford it.

PlayStation Days of Play Is Here: The Latest Games Dropping on PS Plus
Every year near the end of May or start of June, Sony holds its PlayStation Days of Play event, where the company hosts community activities and sales for gamers. On Tuesday, as part of Days of Play -- which runs until June 11 -- Sony announced the monthly games available to all PS Plus subscribers in June, as well as bonus Game Catalog titles for the month. PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers gaming subscribers a large, constantly expanding library of titles. There are three PlayStation Plus tiers -- Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) -- each giving subscribers access to games. Although each tier gives subscribers access to monthly games, only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, which lets you play games whenever you want and not just in that month. Here are the monthly games, bonus PS Plus Game Catalog titles and other games PS Plus subscribers can access soon. You can also check out other games available in the PS Plus Game Catalog now, like Hogwarts Legacy and Blue Prince. Monthly PS Plus games in June Sony brings new games to all three tiers of PS Plus every month but subscribers can play those games for only a few weeks before access expires. Here are the games available to all three tiers in June. Destiny 2: The Final Shape Subscribers can play now. This is expansion content for the popular first-person shooter Destiny 2. Your main goal is to stop the Witness, a powerful being who can command the Darkness-imbued armada, the Black Fleet. The expansion also includes new abilities, a new subclass of characters called "Prismatic" and new weapons and maps. NBA 2K25 Available June 3. A new NBA champion will be crowned soon, marking the end of the 2024-2025 season. But with NBA 2K25, PS Plus subscribers don't have to wait until next season to experience their favorite team taking the court. You can build your dynasty in the MyGM mode, where you're a team's general manager, or you can create your own player and take the court by storm. The choice is yours. Other monthly PS Plus games out June 3 Alone in the Dark Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Bonus games coming to the PS Plus game catalog Sony adds new games to its PS Plus catalog every month but only PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play these games. When Sony adds games to the catalog, those subscribers can access them whenever they want, not just that month. Here are some of the games Sony is adding to the catalog soon. Sony said these are bonus games and it'll announce more PS Plus game catalog titles to be added soon. Another Crab's Treasure Available May 29. You know what they say: One man's trash is another crab's treasure, or something like that. This game is like a cross between Elden Ring and the classic game Ecco the Dolphin. You play as a hermit crab who sets off on a quest to buy back its repossessed shell. You'll have to use the trash of the ocean to protect yourself from huge enemies, and you'll also learn why the ocean is so polluted with garbage to begin with. Who knows, maybe you'll see Ariel with her collection of thingamabobs down there. Destiny 2: Legacy Collection Available June 4. Destiny 2 is already a massive game and this edition gives you access to more rewards, a new subclass, more dungeons and the Witch Queen and Lightfall expansions. According to How Long to Beat, these two expansions could add at least 20 additional hours of gameplay to the base game. (Disclosure: How Long to Beat is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) You'll also be able to access additional dungeons, including the Pit of Heresy, Shattered Throne and Grasp of Avarice. Other bonus games coming to the PS Plus game catalog Skull and Bones: Available June 2. Myst: Available June 5.* Riven: Available June 5.* Grand Theft Auto 3: Available June 10. *Premium subscribers only. For more on PlayStation Plus, here's what to know about the service, and here's a rundown of PS Plus Extra and Premium games added in May. You can also check out the latest and upcoming games on Xbox Game Pass and on Apple Arcade.
