Finding a PS5 in the wild is virtually impossible. Fifteen months after launch, the console is still sold out everywhere, with scalpers asking for upwards of $800. There’s no telling when Sony will be able to meet demand, but in the meantime, the company is hosting a contest which will give participants an opportunity to win a free PS5.
How to win a free PS5 from Sony
Earlier this week, Sony debuted its Treat Codes contest. As of February 15th, Sony has been distributing a series of unique codes that resemble PlayStation controller inputs. The codes can appear “online, on social media channels, and in unexpected places around the world, such as high-profile events involving sports, gaming, film, and music.”
Participating in the contest is simple. Once you find your first code, head to the Treat Codes page on Sony’s website, log in to your PlayStation Network account, and enter the code. Be sure to accept the Terms and Conditions first, or you won’t be able to participate. After you enter the code, you will have to answer a trivia question to complete your entry.
As Sony explains in an FAQ, each contestant can only submit one entry per code. If you find every code, you can enter up to 14 times. Sony will give away nine consoles per code, which means that 126 contestants in all will receive a PS5 when the contest is over.
