$399 PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Fortnite Bundle Feels Like a Quiet Rebellion Against Rising Prices

Hardware costs continue to rise, with RAM, storage, and those tiny little chips all experiencing shortages and inflation that shows no indications of abating anytime soon. Sony already increased the PS5’s price by $50 across all versions in 2025, bringing the basic Digital Edition to a whopping $499. Industry experts are already speculating that if these tendencies continue, prices would rise again in 2026. In the midst of all of this, getting a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Fortnite Bundle for $399 is becoming increasingly difficult.

This setup includes the small PS5 Digital Edition, an 825GB SSD (all built in), and a Fortnite bundle called the Flowering Chaos pack. The console itself provides all of the PS5 core experience you’d expect, including super fast load times thanks to that zippy SSD, immersive haptics and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller, and support for 3D audio, which genuinely makes games feel more alive. Because it’s a digital only console, you don’t have to worry about a disc drive taking up space, just a sleek design that focuses entirely on downloading content from the PlayStation Store if that’s more your thing.

However, the true draw is the Fortnite goodies that come with it. Players receive eight PS unique cosmetics, including a LEGO Florin Outfit, Blossom Backpack Back Bling, Floral Finisher Pickaxe, Blue Blossoms Wrap, Petal’s Edge Guitar, a Blue Bloom mic, and Petal Steppers shoes. Epic Games estimates that all of those things are worth roughly 5,000 V-bucks if priced similarly in-game. mount in a 1,000 V-bucks bonus that you can use right away to buy skins, emotes, or even a new battle pass, and the extras begin to mount up quickly if you spend a lot of time in Fortnite.

Bundles can be a true money hole, easily costing more than the console itself when extra storage, controllers, or expensive themes are included. In this situation, the entire package is only $399. If we exclude the approximate value of the Fortnite products, which ranges from $50 to $70 in V-bucks and cosmetics, the console itself costs $330 or less. When you consider that the normal Digital Edition is now $499 on Sony’s own website or at all major retailers, that price difference is beginning to look rather enticing.
