Billed as the marketplace’s “biggest sale event of the year”, it includes over 4,500 discounted games and DLC packs for PS5 and PS4.

These include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (30% off), EA Sports FC 24 (60% off), Hogwarts Legacy (50% off), Diablo 4 (40% off) and Mortal Kombat 1 (40% off).

While the discounts may be significant, it’s always worth checking prices elsewhere before buying as PlayStation Store might not be the cheapest place to purchase the game you’re after.

Trading in the PS5 Machines this weekend. I'll be Sonyless till a Pro machine is released.
Thats only a few months away right?

 

[analog_future]

Baldur's Gate III is finally on sale! Only 10% off, but that's the best we've seen yet.

 

[Darkkahn]

The leaks won't stop!

 

[Skifi28]

Looks like almost my entire wishlist is on sale, which is pretty rare, except for chained echoes which was the one thing I was really looking forward to buy. First world problems.

 

[NickFire]

Is PS+ essential discounted?

 

[Bojanglez]

Baldur's Gate III is finally on sale! Only 10% off, but that's the best we've seen yet.

Yeah, I was going to buy it anyway, but will definitely now. Plus I have a load of PS Stars points to redeem. I'm sure the game is great at full price so any additional discounts are a bonus.

A lot of people hate on ZTD, but I enjoyed it. My fav is still 999. That was such a crazy experience on the DS, going in blind and having 0 experience with VNs.

I wonder if these would benefit from a VR remake, not the cutscenes but the escape rooms.

 

[diffusionx]

It's a better sale than their black friday one, but that's a low bar.

Hmm, might be time to get Crossfire, Synapse and Switchback.

 

[StarPlatinumTheWorld]

Edith Finch, BG3, Outer Wilds and maybe Hogwarts I will likely pick up.

Synapse for $25 is good. I was hoping for more PSVR2 sales though.

 

[R6Rider]

I just bought Crossfire and Pixel Ripped 1995. Probably going to buy more.

Waiting for more impressions and reviews on Breachers, but it seems like my type of game as someone who has put lots of time into Siege.

As for flat games, I'll have to check more later. I did see Wild Hearts for a huge discount and I do like Monster Hunter.

 

[K' Dash]

I don't see a single game that I want from the sale that I don't have.

I guess I'll finish Jedi Survivor and play Mario RPG.

 

[Metnut]

When games are “on sale” all the time, the “sale” price is the real price.

 

[Kazdi]

In Czech Republic they call it january sale and everything is still expensive af...

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Hogwarts Legacy is bought, been holding off as the backlog is still ridiculous but too good an offer to turn down at 50%. Cosy Christmas gaming blasting students with Avada Kedavra.

 

[Heisenberg007]

[nowhat]

Yeah, I wouldn't buy that even for a dollar.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I’m glad there’s sales.

 

[Skifi28]

• Anthem = $0.99

If I wait for the next sale they might pay me to play it.

Jokes aside, great list. I would heartily recommend lost in random. Unique art style, great world and sroey, funny, decent if a little repetitive combat.

 

[Humdinger]

Picked up Hogwarts at 50% off. It'll probably be months before I get around to it, but the price was right.

[violence]

Jedi survivor down another 5 bucks.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Edith Finch

One of the best indie games ever.

 

[Roufianos]

Picked up Alan Wake. Not a fan of digital games but £35 isn't too bad (price of a £40 wallet code on ShopTo).

 

[WoJ]

It blows my mind you can get Mass Effect 1 through 3 for $6 today.

 

[Ar¢tos]

One of the best indie games ever.

I would love a VR version.

 

[violence]

It blows my mind you can get Mass Effect 1 through 3 for $6 today.

Worth triple dipping for the PlayStation button prompts.

 

[DryvBy]

Funny I haven't ever finished a ME game lol. I can't ever get into them.

 

[Fbh]

Got Hogwarts Legacy.
Not the biggest HP fan but I definitely want to try it out and 50% off is pretty good .

 

[adamsapple]

Lay out some of the best PS4/5 deals you guys find.

 

[NickFire]

Synapse for $25 is good. I was hoping for more PSVR2 sales though.

I'm wondering if they sold more headsets than we might have expected. I was expecting more of a fire sale on some games like star wars.

Good point. I have zero clue what's going on with PSVR2 from Sony's perspective. It's hard to gauge. Star Wars is on my wishlist, but won't drop in price.

[violence]

I bought dirt 5, Oddworld soulstorm and Assassin’s Creed Ezio collection. Each game was $11. These are few oddball games that I was in the middle of a playthrough with since letting my PSN plus extra subscription lapse.

Jusant is $20 (20% off) for anyone that cares.

 

[jshackles]

All I wanted was the Lost Judgment DLC to go on sale

 

[Skifi28]

So, I had some money I literally had to get rid of for tax reasons and thus I bought a ton of second rate stuff I had on my wishlist from god knows when:

Trails of Cold Steel 1
Vanquish
Berserk
Kao the Kangaroo
AI nirvana initative
Gundam Versus
Night in the woods
Gylt
Turok 2
Asterix and Obelix slap them all
Carrion
Watch dogs 2
13 sentinels
Chrono Cross
YS origin
Blazing Chrome
FIST
Streets of rage 4
Takes of Zestiria
Fahrenheit
WRC generations


Now I just need to quit my job to find some free time to actually play them....

 

[adamsapple]

Bastion - $2.99
Catherine: Full Body - $7.99
edit: add Tales of Vesperia DE as well $9.99

That's it for me.

 

[Punished Miku]

Theatrhythm is tempting.

 

[MikeM]

Backlog is too big to buy more right now.

Side note:

Who is this beautiful creature?

 

[dave_d]

Well that's weird. The Red Matter collection is on sale for $30 which is the same price as Red Matter 2.(Which isn't on sale.)

 

[StereoVsn]

Going to have to go through PSN and Xbox sales. And Steam sale is starting tomorrow.

Oh boy, my poor wallet.
