Sony has launched a PS5 rental scheme in the UK, allowing gamers to lease consoles and accessories starting from £11 per month. The service, which has already seen success in Japan, offers options for both a digital-only PS5 and a disc version. For those looking for premium experiences, the PS5 Pro is available for £19 monthly, while the PS VR2 can be rented for £18.50, with an additional charge to access the VR game, Horizon: Call of the Mountain. Contracts are flexible with terms of 12 to 36 months available, plus an option for a rolling monthly lease. Support and communication regarding the lease are handled through Raylo, ensuring a fair wear and tear policy on leased devices.

The PS5 rental service allows users to lease consoles and accessories for varying monthly rates, with contracts available for as short as 12 months. Support is managed through Raylo, and the service operates with a fair wear and tear policy.

This rental scheme is particularly timely, considering the rising costs of gaming hardware and the increasing demand for playability without the upfront costs associated with purchasing a console. The Horizon series, which includes the popular VR title Horizon: Call of the Mountain, has become a notable franchise for Sony, showcasing the potential of immersive gaming experiences. This initiative could attract both new gamers wanting to experience PS5 titles and seasoned players looking for flexibility in gaming options.
