The PlayStation Store has just launched its November Savings sale, which can be considered a prelude to its annual selection of Black Friday discounts scheduled to arrive later this month. But you don’t need to wait any longer to save on the best PS5 games as the deals in this latest PlayStation Store sale are pretty epic.

Among my favorite deals is the excellent Persona 3 Reload for $34. That’s a 50% discount off its launch price, and this turn-based RPG is pretty long so will probably keep you busy through the winter season. There’s also a big discount on Dragon’s Dogma 2, now just $39 (was $69), and this epic fantasy action game has just been upgraded with a PS5 Pro patch.

PS5 game deals start from $2 in this PlayStation sale, but there are more than 600 of them to sort through, which is why I’ve done the leg work and rounded up my favorite picks below. I’ve also found some of the best early Black Friday deals at Amazon for gamers who prefer a physical disc to a digital download.
