PlayStation just beat Prime Day with must-play PS5 games from $5 — here's 17 deals I’d buy
PlayStation’s Essential Picks sale packs big discounts on top PS5 games
Prime Day deals are starting early, and while there are some strong savings on the best PS5 games, you’ll find the most bang for your buck over on the PlayStation Store. The digital storefront has just launched its new Essential Picks sale, and there are some real bargains in this limited-time event.
My favorite deal is Dragon’s Dogma 2 with a 20% saving. This is the lowest price to date for this engrossing RPG and a current Game of the Year contender. Another great RPG released in 2024 that’s currently on sale is Persona 3 Reload for $48. However, if you’re looking to spend a little and get a load, the masterful Disco Elysium is just $11 and family-friendly racer Hot Wheels Unleashed is only $5.
These are just a few of the more than 2,600 deals in this sale across PS5 and PS4 games, and I’m picking my favorites below. Plus, I’m also including a selection of the best early Prime Day PS5 deals at Amazon if you’d prefer a physical game disc.
