The PS Store Summer Sale was already running, but Sony has now refreshed it with a new wave of discounts, and the selection is genuinely worth your attention. Thousands of PS5 and PS4 titles are marked down, with the sale window closing on August 12. PS Plus subscribers got early access to the deals, which has become a standard perk of the subscription, but the full sale is now open to everyone.
The discount depth here is real. Some titles are hitting their lowest-ever PS Store prices, with cuts ranging from 25% on newer releases all the way to 85% on older catalogue games. Here's a look at what stands out.

The deals that are actually worth it
At the top end of the sale, Baldur's Gate 3 is down to $48.99 (30% off), which is still a substantial ask but represents one of the better RPGs money can buy on PS5. If you've been sitting on the fence about Larian Studios' massive D&D epic, this is a reasonable entry point.
Alan Wake 2 at $17.99 (70% off) is the kind of price that removes every excuse. Remedy Entertainment's survival horror follow-up is one of the more ambitious PS5 games released in recent years, blending live-action sequences with genuinely unsettling atmosphere across two very different playable characters.
For action game fans, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition on PS5 drops to $9.99, a 75% cut on Capcom's combat showcase. The Special Edition adds Vergil as a playable character and pushes the Legendary Dark Knight mode, which throws enemies at you in numbers that border on absurd. At that price, it's a no-brainer.
Days Gone Remastered is down to $19.99 (60% off). Bend Studio's PS5 upgrade added a new lighting engine and the Horde Assault mode, making it a meaningfully different experience from the original PS4 release. If the open-world zombie game passed you by in 2019, this is the version to pick up.
On the RPG side, Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment sits at $29.99 (40% off). It launched on PS5 in February 2026 and the combat system holds up well even if the writing doesn't always match the ambition. The PS5-exclusive features are worth checking out too, and if you want a breakdown of what Obsidian's latest does differently on Sony's hardware, the GTA 6 PS5 exclusive features guide gives a useful reference point for how PS5-specific tech tends to be implemented across major releases.
Smaller games punching above their price
The indie tier of this sale deserves attention. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on PS4 is down to $14.99 (75% off), which is a steal for Vanillaware's visual novel and strategy hybrid. The storytelling is genuinely exceptional, the kind of narrative that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night hits $9.99 (75% off), making it one of the best value Metroidvania games available on the platform. Inti Creates built something that holds its own against the genre's best, with combat options that reward experimentation.
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure drops to $7.99 (60% off). It's a slide-puzzle game wrapped in a surprisingly fleshed-out world, and it's the kind of thing you finish in a weekend and immediately recommend to someone else.
For PSVR2 players, Arizona Sunshine 2 is down to $14.79 (63% off), which makes it one of the more accessible entry points for the headset's best shooting experiences.
What the PS4 catalogue brings to the table
The PS4 section of this sale has some genuine classics at throwaway prices. Dishonored: Definitive Edition at $4.99 (75% off) includes all the DLC and remains one of Arkane Studios' best works. Divinity: Original Sin II at $14.99 (75% off) is the kind of RPG you lose 80 hours to without noticing.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy sits at $15.99 (60% off) and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled at $13.99 (65% off), making it a cheap weekend to revisit two of the PS1 era's most beloved franchises in modernised form.
Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe at $2.99 (85% off) is the deepest cut in the sale percentage-wise, and it's a genuinely odd game that earns its cult status.
For players who want to get the most out of PS5 hardware specifically, check out the Starfield PS5 guide for a detailed breakdown of DualSense features and PS5 Pro modes, which gives a sense of how much the platform's exclusive tech can change a game's feel.
The sale closes August 12
The refreshed Summer Sale runs through August 12, so there's still time to work through the full catalogue. The total number of discounted titles runs into the thousands when you factor in the complete PS Store listing, well beyond the 70-plus titles highlighted as recommended picks.
The key here is knowing what you actually want before the deadline. Sales like this are easy to browse for hours and walk away with nothing. If you need help narrowing down purchases across other platforms and genres, the gaming guides hub has breakdowns that help cut through the noise, much like the approach taken with the War Thunder May Sale guide that separated genuine deals from filler.
