If you're in the market for a PS5 in 2025, the PlayStation 5 Slim Astro Bot bundle is one of the best deals available. Right now, the Disc model ($449.99) is available at Best Buy, while the Digital Edition can be found at Amazon ($399.99) with broader availability expected soon.
What makes this bundle stand out is that Astro Bot is included at no extra cost—effectively a free $70 game packed in with your console. If you needed an extra incentive to grab a PS5, this is it. Astro Bot isn’t just a throw-in; it was one of the best games of 2024, taking home Best Game at The Game Awards and cementing itself as a must-play for platforming fans.

PS5 Slim Digital Edition - Astro Bot Bundle
If you're cool with embracing the all-digital future, get this one. (You can buy a disc drive later if you change your mind).
Reviewing for IGN, Simon Cardy gave Astro Bot a 9, praising it as one of the most joyful experiences in gaming: "Astro Bot made me smile from beginning to end. A collection of endlessly inventive levels and fantastically fun abilities, it delivers joy in spades, never once becoming even remotely dull or repetitive. And while you don’t need a long history with Sony systems to enjoy it, it is especially a delight for those with a piece of PlayStation in their heart as a treasure trove full of playable nostalgia awaits."
"Taking the PS5 marketing mantra that 'play has no limits' more seriously than you’d expect, Team Asobi has crafted a mascot platformer that goes near enough toe-to-toe with Nintendo's best efforts, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give it."
For those still on the fence about buying a PS5, this bundle makes for a compelling argument, and it's certainly one of the best PS5 deals going right now. Astro Bot isn’t just a great game—it’s a celebration of everything PlayStation does best, making it an ideal showcase for Sony’s current gen hardware.
