That’s 60% off this challenging action RPG that boasts some of the PS5’s best visuals. Other top deals include Horizon Forbidden West for $19 (was $39) and Spider-Man: Miles Morales for $19 (was $49).
If you’re looking to spend a little less, while still getting plenty of game for your buck, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt just dropped to just $9, which is a phenomenal price for a fantasy RPG that can easily last you more than 100 hours. Meanwhile, if you want something with a captivating narrative What Remains of Edith Finch is $4has hit its lowest price ever.
There are so many deals in this sale that it can be tough to know which are worth picking, that’s why I’m rounding up my 15 favorite PS5 game deals in this latest PlayStation Store sale.
