Battlefield 2042: was $69 now $19 @ Best Buy
Battlefield 2042 earned itself a fairly deserved reputation as a misfire at launch, but since then the developers at DICE have been committed to making improvements and it's now in a significantly better state with redesigned maps, new weapons and a tweaked Specialist system. It's still got some frustrating flaws and the old Battlefield classes are sorely missed, but for $19 you'll certainly get your money's worth with Battlefield 2042, and the online servers are still busy. 

Marvel's Midnight Suns: was $59 now $17 @ Amazon
Marvel's Midnight Suns is one of the most overlooked games on PS5. It brings together a roster of iconic Marvel superheroes to battle the demonic Lilith via strategic turn-based battle. But when you're not engaged in combat you can build your relationships back at home base which in turn makes your heroes stronger. This is one of the PS5's most overlooked gems and is a must-play for comic book fans.

Deathloop: was $59 now $24 @ Amazon
2021 was the year of time loops in gaming, and Deathloop casts you as a wisecracking mercenary on a mission to break free from a never-ending day. In order to break the loop you'll need to eliminate a group of high-powered targets before the day can reset, but your task is complicated by the rival assassin that is simultaneously hunting you down. 

Resident Evil 4: was $59 now $29 @ Best Buy
One of the most acclaimed and influential games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this full-scale remake. You play Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter in a spooky European village overrun with gruesome enemies. Featuring modernized gameplay and overhauled visuals, this is Resident Evil 4 as you've never seen it before. 

Assassin's Creed Mirage: was $49 now $32 @ Amazon
Assassin's Creed Mirage took Ubisoft's action-adventure franchise back to its roots last year, eschewing the RPG elements and huge open world of AC: Valhalla to focus back on stealth and parkour, and offering multiple approaches to assassination targets, bringing it more in line with earlier entries. Set in 9th-century Baghdad, you play Basim, a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones, and slowly rises up the ranks to become a master assassin and fight the Templars. 

Horizon Forbidden West: was $69 now $32 @ Amazon
The sequel to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn, join Aloy on her most dangerous quest yet as she ventures to distant lands in Horizon Forbidden West. Once you've journeyed to the West, you'll meet new allies and engage in strategic battles against upgraded machines using a diverse collection of weapons. This is one of the PS5's best-looking games with a stunning open world to explore and highly cinematic cutscenes. 

TopSpin 2K25: was $69 now $43 @ Amazon
Until April, we'd not had a new entry in the tennis game franchise since 2011. Then, 2K Games served up this smash revival earlier this year, one which we really enjoyed. Microtransactions and a meager mode selection aside, we said it was 'pretty much the next best thing to swinging a racket in real life' in our TopSpin 2K25 review.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2: was $69 now $59 @ Amazon
The latest spidey adventure on PS5 sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales web-swinging into action for another stellar superhero romp that plays across Marvel's New York. Swap between the Spider-Men and deploy their new powers as you take on new villains from Spidey's rogues' gallery in this excellent action game that looks truly stunning on PS5. 

Goat Simulator 3: was $29 now $11 @ PlayStation Store
Goat Simulator 3 is the third installment in the wacky physics-sandbox series, and it adds three-player co-op, letting you bring along a couple of friends to partake in all manner of hilarious mini-games. This largely unstructured open-world game is all about causing as much chaos as possible as an average everyday goat. It's certainly a unique concept and it's still as fun now as it was when the first Goat Simulator was released in 2014. 

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition: was $69 now $30 @ PlayStation Store
Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales is a spin-off from 2018's Spider-Man on PS4 and follows teenage Miles Morales as he looks to prove his superhero credentials by taking on a dangerous new enemy that is threatening to destroy New York. This Ultimate Edition also includes a copy of Spider-Man Remastered.
