Last night, I opened my PS5 again and was browsing discounted games when I remembered I should write about this topic. It’s getting cooler in Bursa, and there’s nothing better than staying at home to play games. I quietly grab the controller while my wife and child are sleeping, but sometimes we look at discounts as a family. For example, last week, I bought a game that was half price, I was truly excited.
When it comes to discounted PS5 games, I think everyone immediately thinks of the PlayStation Store. There, new deals come out every month, even every week. Sometimes 50%, sometimes 75% off, it’s hard to believe. I also take breaks from coding to check, since I can’t write code much during the day with family; I just generate ideas. Games are like that, sometimes you find optimizations like discounts in your code, which speeds everything up.
By the way, I remembered that last time I downloaded a game, my internet slowed down—it was like Bursa traffic. Anyway, back to the topic. Discounts usually come from big brands, like God of War Ragnarok or Spider-Man 2. They normally cost around 70-80 Euro, but in discount, they drop to 20-30 Euro. Do you also check out such deals? Isn’t it great?
Yes, there are additional discounts with PlayStation Plus subscriptions, but I often buy directly from the store. Last month, I saw a bundle with multiple games, and the price was unbelievably cheap. When I was developing a Vue.js project, I experienced a similar thing—bundling components reduces file sizes, just like discounts increase efficiency. The same logic applies to games: buy early before prices rise.
The Logic Behind PS5 Discounts
Thinking about it, why does Sony do such discounts? I think it’s to clear out stock, as older games become cheaper when new ones are released. I think it’s clever because players are always looking for new things. For example, the FIFA series releases every year, and the older versions go on sale. When developing in C# with REST APIs, I archive older versions and focus on the new. Ultimately, discounts satisfy players, right?
But sometimes, discounts can be misleading. They say 90% off, but the original prices are inflated. I saw this on a site I can’t remember exactly, but there was an article on IGN. Do you pay attention to this? If I do, I check the price history by searching Google for “discounted ps5 games history”. You can search “discounted ps5 games price history” on Google for details.
When buying discounted games, one thing to be careful about is compatibility. PS5 exclusives are great, but some also work on PS4. As someone who designs electronic circuits, I care about hardware compatibility. The other day, I had a circuit fault—my PostgreSQL connection was timing out—which was probably a cable issue; I fixed it after hours of effort (which was very frustrating :)). It’s similar with games; if you buy the wrong version, problems occur.
So don’t miss discount periods. Events like Black Friday and Summer Sale are when stocks fly off the shelves. I check on my phone even when I go camping at Uludağ in Bursa, but mostly I stay at home. When I go on city trips with my family, kids ask for games, and I buy if I find a discount.
Popular Discounted Game Suggestions
Now, let me share my favorite discounted games. For example, The Last of Us Part II, which is usually expensive, I bought it for 20 Euro on sale. The story is amazing, and the graphics are stunning. When making AJAX calls with jQuery, I think of a similar flow—data should flow seamlessly like in the game. But in one boss fight, I got stuck for hours, and I didn’t give up.
Another one is Horizon Forbidden West. An open world filled with exploration. It was discounted by 60%, so I grabbed it immediately. Making discoveries in game is akin to exploring in embedded systems design, finding new pathways in circuits. Do you like open-world games? I think they’re the best—hours fly by without noticing.
And I remembered—I got an error when writing a query with MySQL the other day, joining tables incorrectly, like solving a puzzle in a game. Anyway, continuing. Elden Ring is also on discount—challenging but rewarding. When it dropped to 30 Euro, I bought it; it’s worth it.
To buy discounted PS5 games, visit PlayStation official site and browse the store. Or, share deals on the r/PS5 subreddit. I read in a forum that there are apps for deal tracking, about 3-4 recommended ones.
But be aware, discounts don’t last long and stocks run out. I also use cache in my C# project with Dapper to speed up data retrieval. The same applies to games; acting early means winning. Ultimately, buy within your budget and enjoy.
And then there’s Cyberpunk 2077—the launch was problematic, but it’s fantastic on sale now. Updates have fixed issues, and the graphics on PS5 are spectacular. When updating frontend with Vue, updates are important—old code shouldn’t break. Sometimes it does—last week, a component didn’t render, so I debugged for an hour (so frustrating :)).
Why Should You Prefer Discounted Games?
Thinking about it, there’s no need to buy expensive—wait for discounts. In my experience, over 70% are quality games. For example, Gran Turismo 7 for racing enthusiasts. Got it for 40 Euro with my steering wheel; driving in Bursa traffic isn’t like the virtual world—more fun and safer.
Of course, when playing with kids, I choose educational or beneficial ones—like Astro’s Playroom, which is free but has discounted DLCs. When developing backend in PHP, I also think modularly—adding game-like plugins. But incompatible ones create debug issues sometimes.
By the way, discount hunting is like a hobby. Search on Google for “best discounted ps5 games 2024”, and lists appear. Sites like IGN or GameSpot also have reviews, so check those out.
In conclusion, discounted PS5 games save money while increasing entertainment. I play during coding breaks and de-stress. You should try it—you won’t regret. Anyway, that’s enough for now; see you in the next article.
