The PlayStation Store is practically always running some form of sale, but it typically saves the very best deals for the flagship seasonal sales event, and the first up is the annual PlayStation Spring Sale — and it’s not disappointing with big discounts on top PS5 games. 

Across PS5 and PS4 games, as well as DLC packs and in-game currencies, there are more than 3,500 deals, and that includes lowest prices ever for some of the best PS5 games around. My favorite picks include the awesome Dead Space remake for $27, that’s a 60% savings, or Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut for $29, an ideal choice if you’ve been watching Hulu’s Shogun. Plus, The Witcher 3 Complete Edition is $14, that’s 70% off, and my GOTY 2023, Lies of P is now $44 (was $59). 

Other unmissable offers include big savings on the Digital Deluxe Editions of some blockbuster PS5 exclusives including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (now $39), Demon’s Souls (now $49) and Returnal (now $39). And if you’re looking to spend as little as possible the fantastic narrative-driven shooter Metro Exodus is 80% off having dropped to just $4 while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is on sale for $9, that’s a lot of RPG for less than 10 bucks. 

Meanwhile, if you prefer buying disc-based games instead of digital downloads, I’ve also included some of the best PS5 deals at etailers including Amazon and Best Buy down below. So, let’s dive into this epic spring sale savings on essential PS5 games.
