The PlayStation Store Summer Sale is live, and it's one of the biggest PS5 sales events of the year so far with huge discounts on must-play titles. Right now, you can score huge savings on the best PS5 games including Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and much more. 

There are currently more than 4,700 individual discounts on the PlayStation Store across PS5 and PS4 games alongside DLC items. There are so many exceptional deals it’s hard to know where to start, but my favorite is Lies of P at its lowest-ever price. This gothic soulslike was my Game of the Year for 2023 and is 40% off. 

Other highlights include Alan Wake 2 for $38 (was $59), Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora for $34 (was $69) and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition for just $12 (was $49). However, the most eye-catching deals of the sale are Elden Ring for $41 (was $59) and Hogwarts Legacy for $27 (was $69). And if you're looking to spend just a few bucks, you can still get a new game with deals from $4. 

There are so many worthwhile discounts here that picking out my favorite picks was pretty tough, but below are the PlayStation Store deals I'd buy with my own money. Plus, you'll also find a range of deals from online retailers including Amazon and Best Buy for those who prefer games on a physical disc rather than a digital download.
