The PlayStation 5 has finally arrived, but the PlayStation 4 will stay relevant for years to come because of its expansive library of games. If you’re planning to finally buy the console on the Prime Day 2021 date, which is set on June 21 and June 22, you should look forward to the discounts that will be offered in next week’s Prime Day deals. You’ll enjoy significant savings on the console, as well as on its games and accessories, with this year’s Prime Day PS4 deals. On the other hand, if you’re already a PS4 owner, the upcoming Prime Day PS4 sales will be your chance to pick up games that you may have missed when they were first released, and accessories to add to your arsenal.

What Prime Day PS4 Deals To Expect

Some gamers are already upgrading from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5, but that doesn’t mean the PS4 is a dying console. Developers will continue to roll out games for the 7-year-old system, so it’s still a good idea to take advantage of Prime Day PS4 deals if you don’t own the console yet. There will likely be bundles for the PS4 that includes games and accessories, as Amazon will look to unload its stocks of the console. Meanwhile, for current PS4 owners, Prime Day will be a great opportunity to expand your gaming collection and to buy accessories such as extra controllers.

What Prime Day PS4 Deals We Saw Last Year

Last year’s Prime Day happened before the launch of the PlayStation 5, so gamers were looking forward to the new system. Amazon still offered Prime Day PS4 sales though, despite the hype surrounding the PS5, as there was still high demand due to 2020’s PS4 exclusives like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Should You Buy New a PS4 on Prime Day?

The PlayStation 5 is here, but the PlayStation 4 still offers years of gaming with its massive stable of games. You’re missing out if you haven’t played the best PS4 exclusives, so its still highly recommended to buy a new PS4 on Prime Day. It’s also smart to take advantage of the discounts to buy games and accessories for the console, to get yourself set for months, or even years, of PS4 gaming.

The Best PS4 Deals Happening Now

With Prime Day happening next week, the discounts that you can enjoy from the annual shopping event will be worth the wait. However, if you have the budget to purchase the PlayStation 4 right now and you’re already looking forward to all the games that you can play on the console, then you should check out the best PlayStation deals that are currently available.
