PlayStation encouraged users or players to sell their used PS5 consoles, according to reports from Tech4Gamers and Alfa Beta.

Tech4Gamers characterized the outreach as an offer to exchange used PS5 consoles for cash. Alfa Beta, meanwhile, described the referenced sale price as unusually low, but did not provide the actual amount. The two reports do not establish whether the accounts describe identical terms.

The available material does not specify the offer amount, transaction terms, eligibility criteria, geographic scope or target audience. It also does not establish when the underlying PlayStation outreach occurred; both cited reports were published on November 3, 2026, but that publication date does not date the initiative itself.

Tech4Gamers placed the report in the context of an earlier Xbox outreach involving messages asking users whether they would sell consoles that had not been used. The supplied material does not show that Xbox and PlayStation used identical programs or terms, and it includes no official PlayStation confirmation of the reported initiative.
