PlayStation has launched a new PS5 Slim console bundle featuring NBA 2K26, now available at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and PlayStation Direct. This bundle, priced at $550, includes the PS5 Slim console with a disc drive and a digital voucher for NBA 2K26. While the price might seem elevated, it reflects PlayStation`s console price increase implemented on August 21st, meaning the PS5 Slim alone now costs $550, effectively making NBA 2K26 a free inclusion.
This pricing strategy differs from previous PlayStation console bundles, such as those for Astro Bot and Black Ops 6, which offered a game plus a $50 discount. Earlier this year, those PS5 Slim bundles were priced at just $450, with digital-only versions available for $400. Furthermore, unlike last year`s NBA 2K25 bundle, which provided both disc-based and digital-only console options, the current NBA 2K26 bundle appears to be exclusively for the disc-drive PS5 Slim.
What`s Included in the PS5 Slim NBA 2K26 Bundle:
- PS5 Slim console (with Disc Drive)
- White DualSense Controller
- Power cable
- USB-C charging cable
- HDMI cable
- NBA 2K26 standard edition (digital download voucher)
Please note that the vertical stand, often pictured, is not included and must be purchased separately for $30.
Before committing to the NBA 2K26 bundle, prospective buyers might also consider the upcoming Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition PS5 Slim Bundles, which became available for preorder on September 4th. These limited editions come in two distinct models. PlayStation Direct offers an exclusive white PS5 Slim console adorned with black artwork, paired with a matching DualSense controller. A gold artwork variant is available at PlayStation Direct and other major retailers. Both Ghost of Yotei bundles are priced at $600 and include a digital copy of the game. Individual DualSense controllers with the Ghost of Yotei design are also sold separately for $85. Additionally, exclusive console covers for both PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro, featuring the Ghost of Yotei gold design, are available for $65 directly from PS Direct.
