PlayStation’s end-of-summer sale has the best PS5 games from $2 — here’s 17 deals I’d buy
PlayStation Store sale discounts God of War, Elden Ring and more
PlayStation is marking the end of the summer with its latest sales event, Planet of the Discounts. This collection of deals includes massive savings across some of the best PS5 games including God of War Ragnarök, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy and more.
There are almost 2,000 individual deals across PS5 and PS4 games, as well as DLC expansions and in-game currencies. With so many savings to comb through, I’m picking out my favorite deals to help you spend less time choosing, and more time playing. My top pick is God of War Ragnarök for $29 (was $69), which is the lowest price to date.
Meanwhile, if you’re looking to spend as little as possible, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is just $2. And now is the perfect time to play this excellent medieval RPG as its sequel launching next year. Other highlights include the Harry Potter action game Hogwarts Legacy for $23 (was $79), and the truly stunning Resident Evil 4 remake for $29 (was $39).
Alongside these PlayStation Store deals, I’m also rounding up the best deals at online retailers including Amazon and Best Buy for gamers who prefer a physical disc over a digital download. And also check out our PS5 Pro pre-order guide if you want to upgrade to the most powerful PlayStation console ever later this year.

Atlus' Persona series comes with a ton of pedigree, and this full-fledged remake brought the Persona 3 story to the current console generation so franchise veterans and newcomers could experience it.

TopSpin 2K25: was $69 now $39 @ 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.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: was $69 now $43 @ Amazon
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the game the PS5 was born to play. In this stylish intergalactic adventure, you’ll take control of seasoned heroes Ratchet and Clank — as well as their distaff counterparts, Rivet and Kit. With 10 huge planets to explore, tons of weapons to customize and upgrade, a variety of enemies to fight and plenty of puzzles to solve, Rift Apart is an absolute joy from start to finish.
Demon's Souls: was $69 now $43 @ Amazon
Demon's Souls was one of the first games on PS5, and it's still one of the best almost three years later. In this ultra-difficult action/RPG, you'll create a character and set out to conquer the deadly dungeons and towering bosses of Boletaria. You may have already played this game on the PS3, but the remake is much smoother.
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.
