PS5 consoles are now regularly available in the UK, so here’s where you can pick one up. Our personal pick is definitely from Amazon as you can get free next-day delivery if you’re a Prime member. There’s plenty of other new deals to check out today as well, including a wonderful discount on the PS5 DualSense Charging Station. It’s down to just £19.99 at Amazon, which is £5 off the original RRP of £25. There’s also an awesome limited-time 50% discount on Keeper Password Managers, £60 off eufy RoboVac vacuums, and a whole lot more as well. See all the other great discounts just below, and make sure you’re following @IGNUKDeals on Twitter for even more UK deal updates.
PS5 availability has massively improved in the UK, with the likes of PlayStation Direct, Very, GAME, and Amazon now having the console in stock consistently. If you haven’t yet secured the console, 2023 is the year to finally upgrade to the latest consoles, ready to play the best games.
With Keeper, you can store all of your passwords, credit card info, and other sensitive data in one secure, encrypted digital vault. Plus, they use top-notch encryption technology to keep your stuff safe and have added bonus features like password generation, password sharing, and two-factor authentication.
This is the perfect deal for anyone who purchased an additional DualSense Controller over Black Friday and Christmas sales last year. Now you can charge both your shiny controllers at the same time – result!
These are the best random-ish deals that I want to highlight, but can’t necessarily fit anywhere else. A favourite of mine today is definitely the unisex hoodie blanket, down to just £12.99. This is a great price considering you’re looking at £20-30 anywhere else for a similar quality blanket. My top tip for when you buy one, wash it immediately on its own, once it’s dry it’ll be 10/10 comfort.
With Avast One Individual, you’ll get all the features you need to stay safe online, including advanced antivirus protection, a powerful firewall, and cutting-edge anti-phishing technology. Plus, you’ll get real-time alerts to keep you informed of potential threats and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your digital life is protected by one of the world’s most trusted names in cybersecurity.
This is a very good deal on PS5 SSDs, especially as you don’t need to further invest in a separate heatsink for the Samsung 980 PRO. Plus, you can max out your PS5 storage with another 2TB of additional space to store all the very best PS5 games in 2023. Or, check out the superb Patriot Viper VP4300 2TB SSD with Heatsink deal for £149.99, which is back for limited time only.
Preorders are now live for the Link Tears of the Kingdom amiibo in the UK. This listing isn’t from a third-party seller or anything, this is direct from Amazon who currently has it listed for just under £30. Sure, this is going to be a widely popular amiibo, but I’d be surprised if the price inflation isn’t corrected before May 12. Plus, Amazon has a preorder price guarantee, so you’ll pay the lowest price on the listing even if you order now at £29.54.
There are some great deals here to check out, with some of my personal favourite Switch games included just below as well. Sonic Frontiers for £32 is a great deal and one of my top games from 2022, and LEGO Star Wars is absolutely one of the best portable games on the market at the moment. I’ve left all the relevant links, just below.
The limited edition OLED Model features art inspired by Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet with the legendary Koraidon and Miraidon pictured on the system dock. Availability for the Pokemon-themed Switch has been quite sparse since release, so being able to snag one at RRP is fantastic and well worth considering if you missed it during the initial preorder phase last year.
Here’s a great deal for those who are loving the latest HBO hit, The Last of Us. Yes, this is based on the game as many of us know, and many of us might also know that there’s a sequel to that game. The Last of Us Part 2 is a critically acclaimed darling (with a few controversies thrown in), and it can be picked up for just £8.39 if you’re a PS Plus member right now (down from £34.99).
The best Tears of the Kingdom (or Breath of the Wild 2 as many of us called it for years) preorder deal in the UK is still at Hit for £49.85, or ShopTo for the same price. In case you’re wondering, both ShopTo and Hit are 100% legit UK retailers. We’ve linked out to both of them before, and have had no complaints! I’ll leave all the relevant links down below for Tears of the Kingdom preorders.

Publisher Microids has shared the first gameplay trailer for UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves, the upcoming action game based on the anime adaptation of Go Nagai’s manga from 1975. The manga and anime are considered classics in the mech genre, and this marks the IPs glorious return.
First announced in 2021, the project (developed by Endroad which is made up of former Ubisoft and Amplitude Studios staff) has been pretty quiet since that initial reveal, but it’s looking pretty slick if the trailer is anything to go by.

Perhaps the biggest announcement of the most recent Nintendo Direct was Metroid Prime Remastered. It was even launched on the same day via the eShop, with the physical version to arrive at a later date.

State of Play is back! Sony has announced its State of Play broadcast is happening this Thursday, February 23rd and that it will be showing off upcoming PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 games. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know to watch the show, including when it starts, a list of places you can stream State of Play live, and the biggest PlayStation announcements from last year.
The State of Play stream will take place Feb 23 at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm UK (and 7am AEST on February 24) and will run for approximately 15 minutes.
If you’re interested in watching the State of Play broadcast yourself, we host the stream here and across our many channels like YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, and more. Here’s the full list of places you can watch the February PlayStation State of Play tomorrow:
We expect this upcoming State of Play to be filled with new info on titles such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the next game from Rocksteady Studios, plus details on five new VR titles set to release later this year. We’ll have to tune in to find out what else Sony has in store as they tend to reserve their own announcements for events like this, especially in light of Sony likely not being part of E3 2023.
The most recent State of Play showcase took place in September 2022, where announcements included: Tekken 8 officially revealed, a new trailer drop for God of War: Ragnarok, Like a Dragon: Ishin revealed for the west, and many more highlights. You can see everything announced from September 2022’s State of Play, or, if you want all the details from prior showcases, we have a list of the biggest State of Play announcements since the State of Play’s inception in 2019 too.
