## Key points

- Sony is offering up to $400 for eligible PS5 trade-ins.
- The offer runs through Back Market and depends on condition.
- A reader reported a UK offer of £300.

## Summary

Sony is offering some US PS5 owners up to $400 to trade in an unused console through Back Market, a third-party resale service. The offer reflects manufacturers’ interest in getting dormant consoles back into circulation, where new owners may also buy games or subscriptions.

The maximum applies to a base PS5 supplied with two DualSense controllers, and the amount depends on condition. The article says Microsoft recently sent a similar trade-in promotion to Xbox Series X|S owners; a reader also reported receiving a UK offer of £300. Private sales may bring in more, but a trade-in can be simpler.
