The PS Store Next Level Savings sale is closing out on May 27, and with thousands of PS5 and PS4 games discounted, a handful of titles have hit their lowest-ever prices. After an unusual hiatus that left the PS Store deals tab dark for a stretch, the sale arrived on May 13 and is now in its final hours.
PS Store sale ends May 27
The deals worth your attention before midnight
The full sale spans thousands of titles, which makes browsing it a grind. Here's the lowdown on the standout picks that are genuinely worth the money.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) is down to $29.99 (40% off), which is a reasonable entry point for Square Enix's sprawling second chapter in the FF7 trilogy. The game is massive, arguably bloated in places, but the character writing and sheer volume of content make it hard to dismiss at that price.
Demon's Souls (PS5) takes the biggest percentage cut at 58% off, landing at around $29.39. Bluepoint Games' remake is still one of the best-looking titles on PS5, and it's the game that set the template for the entire Soulsborne lineage. If you've never played it, this is the price point to pull the trigger.
On the opposite end of the budget spectrum, EA Sports Super Mega Baseball 4 (PS5) is sitting at a remarkable $4.99 (90% off). It's not the most serious baseball simulation out there, but at that price, its goofy charm and surprisingly deep customization options are hard to argue with.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5) drops to $14.99 (70% off), which is a fair ask for Rabbit & Bear Studios' Suikoden spiritual successor. The old-school design will push some players away, but JRPG fans who want a dense, character-rich story should find plenty to love.
For something lighter, A Short Hike (PS4) is down to $4.39 (45% off). It's a short, low-key open-world exploration game from developer Adam Robinson-Yu that takes maybe two hours to finish and is genuinely pleasant the entire time.
Gears of War: Reloaded (PS5) rounds out the highlights at $19.99 (50% off). The visuals don't impress on this second remaster, but the campaign still holds up and the multiplayer gives the package real legs, especially for PS5 players who never had access to the franchise before.
Several of these titles, including Demon's Souls and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, are also available through PS Plus Extra. If you're already subscribed, check your library before buying.
Community reaction: familiar frustration
The response in the Push Square comments has been mixed, to put it politely. Several readers called the selection "the same usual deals on the same usual games," and one commenter noted that the unusual delay before the sale launched raised expectations that weren't met. User TheArt put it directly: "All that drama just for the same old same old. Thought we were going to see games stuck at certain sale prices drop lower."
The more measured takes pointed to specific picks worth grabbing. Remnant II generated some enthusiasm in the thread, with multiple readers recommending it for co-op play. Slay the Spire and Absolum also got shoutouts as solid roguelike picks buried in the broader sale catalog.
Demon's Souls at 58% off
The digital-versus-physical debate also flared up, with some readers pointing out that second-hand physical copies can undercut digital sale prices. Others pushed back with specific examples, noting that titles like Doom: The Dark Ages were cheaper digitally on sale than at second-hand retailers at the time of release.
