One day, I was sitting at my computer coding when I looked up and saw that PS5 games were on sale in the PlayStation Store. At that moment, I thought to myself, “Wow, there are such great deals!” and I couldn’t resist adding a few to my cart. Although I already own a PS5, I don’t always want to spend money on new games, and discounts really save the day.
When I think of discounted PS5 games, popular series come to mind immediately. For example, epic adventures like God of War Ragnarok or the FIFA series, well, now called EA Sports FC. These usually cost around 60-70 Euros but drop to 20-30 Euros during sales. The gaming world is quite expensive, especially for new-generation consoles. These discounts become even more attractive when combined with a PlayStation Plus subscription, right?
Recently, I experienced a technical issue while playing. It wasn’t coding related but when installing a game on my PS5, I encountered an error—probably because my disk space was full. I quickly cleaned up some files, and it worked fine afterward. Anyway, let’s get back to the topic.
The best way to keep track of PS5 game discounts is through PlayStation’s own store. They often have weekly deals with discounts up to 75%. I usually turn on notifications so I don’t miss out. Sometimes, games compatible with PS5 are also discounted on platforms like Steam or Epic Games, especially if cross-play is supported.
However, the main challenge is: which games should you choose? My favorite genre is action-adventure, open world exploration. For example, I played countless hours of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla when I caught it on sale. These games are truly immersive, and buying them during discounts is worthwhile.
Why Are Discounts So Important?
Think about it—since the release of PS5, game prices have skyrocketed. Some titles reach 70 Euros, which is tough on a tight budget. Thanks to discounts, you can expand your collection. Honestly, I wait for these sales to avoid exceeding my budget. Of course, not every discount features quality games; sometimes older titles are inexpensive, but they are still playable.
By the way, I remember buying a discounted game but couldn’t play it for a while because of a system update—took about 3-4 days to fix. Anyway, moving on.
With PlayStation Plus Extra, you get a catalog of hundreds of games. When combined with discounts, it feels like playing for free. For example, titles like Spider-Man 2 are added to the catalog without extra payment, which is pretty smart, don’t you think? (I personally find this a very logical strategy)
For detailed lists, you can visit PlayStation’s official site to see current deals, or search on Google for ‘discounted ps5 games’—many sites list these discounts.
The easiest way to catch game discounts is by using dedicated apps. Turn on notifications and follow weekly emails like PS Deals. I do this, so I never miss out. However, discounts are often short-lived, around a week, so you need to be quick.
Popular Discounted Games Examples
Here’s a quick share: Last of Us Part II Remastered is on sale for around 40 Euros. It’s a story-driven, emotional game I loved. Gran Turismo 7 is also great for racing enthusiasts with stunning graphics. Buying these during sale makes sense.
I also enjoy multiplayer games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. Playing with friends during sales is fun. Multiplayer games tend to have higher value on discounts because you play them longer.
IGN offers nice reviews—check IGN, they list PS5 discounts. Also, on Reddit’s r/PS5 subreddit, everyone shares deals. The community can be quite helpful.
Be cautious too: sometimes bundle deals include both a PS5 console and games at a discounted price. These are good for newcomers. Typically, a bundle like this costs around 500 Euros, including two games.
Based on my experience, the best times for deals are Black Friday or summer sales when discounts can reach 80%. Of course, it varies each year, so keeping an eye on deals is necessary.
I saw a site mentioning physical copies can sometimes be cheaper than digital versions. Search on Google for ‘ps5 physical games discount’—it might help.
When buying games, pay attention to region differences as prices can vary in Turkey. I shop both locally in Bursa and online, where better deals are usually found.
Practical Tips and Tricks
First, regularly check the PlayStation Store, add games to your wishlist for discount alerts. Use third-party sites like PS Deals or IsThereAnyDeal for price tracking. Also, consider subscribing to Plus, which expands your game catalog, especially with the Extra tier.
Basically, you add games to your wishlist, get notifications about discounts, and buy immediately. Pretty simple, right? (That’s how it works)
Sometimes, I forget, but I realize the benefits when I pay less for games, which helps my budget. When downloading games, I had a recent issue where the connection dropped, so the download was paused—restarted the PS5, and it completed successfully. Small wins but frustrating sometimes.
For multiplayer, stable internet is essential. I encounter similar issues when coding too. PS5 also offers offline mode, but discounts are mostly online.
In conclusion, discounted PS5 games are an unmissable opportunity. For someone like me who codes, they are a good way to relax. I recommend making a wishlist and following deals—you won’t regret it. So, which game did you buy last during a sale?
Lastly, the gaming world evolves quickly: the new PS5 Pro was announced, but current console discounts are ongoing. I believe this will continue for some time.
