Sony has a habit of running PS Store sales back-to-back through the summer, and the latest one just kicked off. The Ready, Set, Play sale is now live, running through August 26, and it covers thousands of PS5 and PS4 titles with price cuts ranging from modest to genuinely steep.
The key here is that some of these discounts are new lows, not just the same 30% cuts you see every few weeks. That distinction matters when you're deciding whether to pull the trigger now or wait for something better.

The standout deals worth your attention
With thousands of titles on offer, the list is long enough to be overwhelming. Here's the lowdown on the games that actually deserve your wallet.
Black Myth: Wukong is down 30% to $41.99, and this might be the first time Game Science's action RPG has seen a meaningful discount since its August 2024 launch. If you've been holding out, this is the window. The combat is nimble, the boss roster is enormous, and the spectacle holds up.
Anger Foot from Devolver Digital and Free Lives Games is the surprise value pick at 70% off, dropping to $5.99. Think first-person Hotline Miami with a foot-first philosophy and a soundtrack that refuses to let up. At that price, there's almost no reason to skip it.
For puzzle fans, Chants of Sennaar hits $9.99 (50% off), asking you to decipher a series of fictional languages through observation and context. It's one of the more original puzzle games to come out of the last few years, and the visual style makes it easy to sit with for long sessions.
Catherine: Full Body is back in another sale at 80% off, landing at $7.99. Yes, it appears in practically every PS Store promotion, but that price for Atlus's block-climbing nightmare about commitment issues is hard to argue with if you've never played it.
Blue Prince from Dogubomb and Raw Fury drops to $17.99 (40% off). The roguelike mansion puzzler has more depth than its premise suggests, and players who commit to unraveling its secrets tend to come away genuinely impressed. Worth noting it's also on PS Plus Extra if you want to try before buying.
Crow Country at $9.99 is another strong pick for anyone who grew up with fixed-camera survival horror. SFB Games built something that nails the PS1 era aesthetic without feeling like a cheap imitation, and the abandoned theme park setting does real work.
1000xRESIST from Sunset Visitor is $11.99 at 40% off. The sci-fi narrative about cloning, immunity, and underground civilization is the kind of story that sticks around after the credits roll. It's light on challenge but heavy on substance.
Older picks that hold up at these prices
Dragon Quest Builders 2 from Square Enix is down 50% to $19.99 on PS4. The Minecraft-adjacent RPG hybrid improved on the original in every meaningful way, and for players who haven't touched the series, this is the one to start with.
Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration from Digital Eclipse is 60% off at $15.99. Over 100 games, original artwork, interviews, and instruction manuals packaged into something that feels more like a museum than a collection. If gaming history interests you at all, this delivers.
Afterlove EP rounds things out at $9.99 (50% off). The rhythm sequences have some rough edges, but the narrative around grief and connection carries it, and the music itself is genuinely good.
For players planning big PS5 sessions, our Starfield PS5 guide covering DualSense features and PS5 Pro modes is worth bookmarking alongside any new purchases, and if GTA 6 is on your radar, the GTA 6 PS5 exclusive features breakdown covers everything the platform version brings to the table.
What this sale actually tells us
The Ready, Set, Play promotion leans heavily on indie and mid-tier titles hitting aggressive discounts, which is where the real value sits. The 70% and 80% cuts on games like Anger Foot and Catherine: Full Body are the kind of pricing that clears backlogs fast.
The sale runs until August 26, so there's no immediate rush, but the window closes before the end of the month. For more deals and buying guides across platforms, the gaming guides hub has you covered as the summer sale season winds down.
