Here’s what I found about EB Games PS5 trade-in news up to now.
What’s happening
- EB Games Australia has run high-value PS5 trade-in promotions in 2026, including limited-time offers that pay around AUD 749.95 for original or Slim PS5 discs, with upgrade paths to PS5 Pro or PS5 Slim at discounted prices for a limited number of trades (first 2,020) and for EB World PLUS members. These deals were publicized in mid-late April 2026 and targeted in-store redemptions.[2][4][5][6]
- Similar trade-in incentives and VIP-style events have historically appeared in EB World promotions, sometimes tying trade-in value to upgrading to newer hardware or to bundled savings, though exact terms vary by region and timing.[3][6]
- Coverage from gaming news outlets and deal aggregators in 2026 highlighted that EB Games’ PS5 trade-in values were unusually strong compared to typical market depreciation, with notable media attention around the April 2026 window in Australia.[4][6][7]
What this means for you (in London, UK context)
- EB Games UK/London locations (formerly part of Game Digital or related chains) may have different policies from EB Games Australia. The high-value PS5 trade-in promotions described above seem region-specific to Australia and timing-specific (April 2026 window). If you’re in London, you’d want to confirm locally whether any UK EB or equivalent trade-in programs are active and what their current values and eligibility are.[2][4]
- If you’re aiming to trade in a PS5, expect that promotions are often limited by stock, membership tier (e.g., EB World PLUS in AU), and geographic region. Checking your local store’s current promotions or calling ahead is best to confirm availability and exact terms.[6][2]
Practical steps
- Contact your nearest EB Games store in London or check their official UK page for current PS5 trade-in offers and values.
- If you’re flexible about timing, sign up for any membership programs they offer and watch for limited-time trade-in events or launch-price upgrade deals.
- Compare trade-in offers with other major retailers or gaming marketplaces in the UK to ensure you’re getting the best overall value (trade-in credit plus upgrade options, if any).

If you want, I can narrow this to UK/EU sources and summarize the current UK trade-in offers as of today.
