'It's great,' say PS5 owners after discovering an overlooked money-saving trick

A SIMPLE PlayStation trick can save you so much money every year.

If you own a PS5, there's a clever feature that can help you save on your gaming costs in two big ways.

It's the wishlist feature that comes standard on your PlayStation 5.

The first major benefit of wishlist games you'll want to play is sale notifications.

When a game you have placed on your wishlist is discounted in the official Sony store, you will be notified.

This can save you money in the long run because you can just wait for deals – instead of buying games at full price.

But there is a second benefit that is often overlooked.

One PS5 owner revealed it in a post on Reddit: “I just discovered this. If you have a game on your wishlist, you will be notified when that game becomes available as part of the PS Plus service.”

PS Plus is a monthly subscription that gives you access to an ongoing collection of popular games.

It means you can play those games without having to buy them right away.

And if a game on your wishlist ends up in the PS Plus collection, you will receive a notification.

So it's worth being very liberal with it the games that your wish list.

One user replied: “It's one of my favorites functions. A great notification to wake up to.”

Another said: “It's great, isn't it? That's why I use my wish list all the time now.”

One added: “I've been reading a lot of stuff on PlayStation lately as I just got one and this was one of the best tips.”

To add a PS5 game to your wishlist, you can simply press the heart icon in the PlayStation online store or app while viewing a game.

You can then use the heart icon in the store's main menu to view the wishlist.

Notifications come via the PS5, but also on your iPhone or Android if you use the app.

Remember, the more games you add to your wishlist, the more likely you are to snag a deal for yourself and save some money.
