It’s another exciting year for PlayStation fans with Days of Play 2024 kicking off this week! This year’s Days of Play activities are bigger than ever with challenges, offers on hardware and games, content offerings, and more.


We started this global tradition seven years ago to celebrate you, our passionate PlayStation community, for your endless support. We are pleased to bring you more reasons to play, with special Days of Play activities appearing across PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Stars, PlayStation Store, PlayStation Gear, and retailers. The Days of Play celebration begins May 29 at 12:01AM through June 12 at 11:59PM local time in each region.

To mark this special occasion, we’re giving away new avatars to all PlayStation players throughout Days of Play. Starting May 29, players can access avatars that commemorate some of the popular titles that will be offered through PlayStation Plus during Days of Play. You can find them on the PlayStation Plus web page or visit the PlayStation Plus Days of Play page on your PS5 or PS4 console to get the voucher code. These PlayStation Plus avatars are free for all PlayStation players to redeem. Stay tuned for more free avatars during Days of Play.


Below is an overview of activities to look out for during Days of Play. You can also check the Days of Play 2024 web page regularly starting tomorrow, May 29, for activity updates in your local area.

Gonna grab Rise of the Ronin I think.

Also, PS+ Extra/Premium being discounted for existing members (this is the first time they've done this since the PS+ price bump), so if you want to renew I'd do it now or I guess you could also wait for the Black Friday deals.

I don't really buy digital games on PSN anymore, except when they're heavily discounted. So I'm curious about these flash sales and how much they'll discount the digital-only indies and other smaller titles on my wishlist.

Will have to check the list once prices are up. Flash sales make me miss Steam sales.

I'm actually tempted by the PSVR2 deal. I've been thinking about grabbing one again with the announcement of PC support (even if we don't know what it is yet, I would still get a lot of use out of GT alone). $100 off plus the Netflix promo is actually a really good deal as I'm going to be paying that fee every month anyways which is $22 a month which is roughly $275.

So a total of $375 off. Which is a better deal overall then the $300-325 on eBay for used ones. Plus I have a return policy if I run into the stupid issue I had with my last PSVR I got (R2 wouldn't work in 2 separate games but work fine in others).

I’m curious about the flash sales too. Hopefully Helldivers 2 is one of them, would be smart with PS Plus on sale as well. Here’s a full list of games but I think the flash sale games aren’t in the list, thought that’s just my guess. Dead space is in the list. I’d like to see it at a good price finally and actually own it vs subbing to EA Play for a month.

Am I reading this correctly, the PS plus discounts are only if you’re upgrading and you’re an existing member. So if I have premium I can’t get the discount because I can’t upgrade any further?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Correct, based on the blog, it sounds like only new subs get the discount, or Extra members, or Extra members who are upgrading their remainder time to Premium.

Premium itself (and Essential for that matter) are not getting any discounts for extensions.

They've stopped providing Ps+ discounts for us Essential members since they changed the program.

Kinda always enjoy the free avatars tho.

I thought they did this last time too - the snag is the "for the remainder of their membership when they upgrade their memberships". So only if you go up a tier and only for your remaining time. So no stacking, no discount for staying on your existing tier.

Damn I only just bought Spiderman 2, admittedly got a code for cheap. But still. You'd think during this sale would be a good time to do a show/state of play...

Hmm, after reading their promo terms again, I think you're right.
