PS5 Slim will get bundles with a rival's hit. Insider reveals details

Sony is preparing new PS5 bundles, and this time paired with a hit from Microsoft — Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The information was shared by insider billbil-kun, who has repeatedly proven his credibility with accurate leaks regarding hardware and games.

According to the source, buyers will be offered two options: the standard PS5 Slim version with a disc drive and a digital edition without a drive. Both bundles will include a download code for Black Ops 6 — just as was previously done with Astro Bot.

According to the leak, the price for the disc drive bundle will be around $449.99 or €499.99, while the digital edition will cost $399.99 / €449.99. 

While the exact release date of the bundles has not yet been revealed, they are expected to go on sale simultaneously with the launch of Season 4 or another major event tied to Black Ops 6. This move strengthens the partnership between Sony and Activision, despite Call of Duty now being owned by Microsoft. Both sides are interested in maximizing their audience reach.
