A SIMPLE PlayStation trick could save you so much money each year.
If you own a PS5, there’s a clever feature that can help you cut your gaming expenses in two big ways.

It’s the wishlist feature, which is available on your PlayStation 5 as standard.
The first big perk of wishlisting games that you want to play is sale notifications.
When a game you’ve placed on your wishlist gets a discount on Sony‘s official store, you’ll be alerted.
This can save you money in the long run because you can simply wait for deals – rather than buying games at full price.
But there’s a second perk that is often overlooked.
One PS5 owner revealed it in a post to Reddit: “Just found this out. If you have a game on your wishlist, you get notified when that game becomes available as past of the PS Plus service.”
PS Plus is a monthly subscription that gets you access to a rolling collection of popular games.
It means you can play those games without having to buy them outright.
And if a game that is on your wishlist ends up on the PS Plus collection, you’ll receive a notification.
So it’s worth being very liberal with the games that you wishlist.
One user replied: “It’s been one of my favorite features. An amazing notification to wake up to.”
Another said: “It’s awesome isn’t it? It’s why I use my wish list all the time now.”
One added: “I’ve been reading a ton of stuff on PlayStation lately because I just got one and this has been one of the best tips.”
To add a PS5 game to your wishlist, you can simply press the heart icon on the PlayStation online store or app while viewing a game.
You can then use the heart icon on the main store menu to view the wishlist.
Notifications come via the PS5, but also on your iPhone or Android if you’re using the app.
Remember: the more games that you add to your wishlist, the more likely you are to bag yourself a deal and save some money.
