Additionally, the PlayStation VR2 is available for rent for £18.50 per month (or £20 per month with access to the game Horizon: Call of the Mountain) and the PlayStation Portal for £6.50 per month.
Rental Contracts and Products
Rental contracts can be for 12, 24, or 36 months, with the option for monthly renewal. Available rental products include various versions of the PS5, bundles with DualSense controllers, PlayStation Portal Remote Player, PlayStation VR2, and the wireless DualSense Edge controller. Raylo manages all rental contracts, handling transactions, communications, and support services related to the rental of devices. They have a usage policy allowing the return of devices with normal signs of wear and tear, such as some scratches or minor dents.
This rental service provides an alternative for those who want to experience the PS5 without a significant financial commitment.
