The top PS5 game bargains available now

If you’ve been waiting for the ideal opportunity to expand your PS5 collection without straining your budget, today’s discounts might be just what you need. While PS5 consoles might be increasing in cost, a number of prominent PlayStation 5 games — from fresh releases to highly praised remakes — have hit either their all-time lowest prices or their lowest in several months. Whether you’re into Atlus RPGs or Soulslike games, these markdowns make it a great week to indulge in something new.

‘Persona 3 Reload’

‘Persona 3 Reload: Standard Edition’ is listed at $20 on Amazon, reduced from $69.99, giving you a savings of $49.99. Selected by Mashable as one of the best games of 2024, Persona 3 Reload is a complete remake that finally gives the beloved classic the recognition it deserves. This revamped version takes everything groundbreaking about the 2006 original — from its demon-fusing battles to its social simulation features — and reimagines it with contemporary visuals, new voice acting, and innovative gameplay systems that align it with Persona 5. The result is a perfect blend of nostalgia and accessibility, and at merely $20 with a huge 71% discount, it may be the best RPG deal you’ll encounter this year. If you’ve been curious about the origins of Atlus’ most cherished series, now is the perfect time to dive in.

‘Metaphor: ReFantazio’

‘Metaphor: ReFantazio’ is currently priced at $40 on Amazon, down from $69.99, saving you $29.99. In our review, Mashable hailed Metaphor: ReFantazio as “the Final Fantasy XV I’ve always aspired to have” — and it’s evident why. Created by the core creative team behind Persona 5, Atlus’ latest RPG retains the stylish turn-based combat and social dynamics fans adore, but places them into a richly crafted fantasy realm. With its intricate “Archetype” class system, smart combination of real-time and turn-based combat, and an expansive road-trip story that feels more dynamic than Square Enix’s similar attempt, Metaphor successfully achieves its goals. With a 43% discount, this early price reduction makes one of 2024’s standout RPGs an even more appealing suggestion.

‘Lies of P’

‘Lies of P’ can be purchased for $29.99 on Amazon, down from $49.99, saving you $20. In Mashable’s roundup of the finest games of 2023, Lies of P stood out, commended for being more than just another Soulslike. This gothic re-envisioning of Pinocchio merges the challenging combat formula popularized by FromSoftware with a unique, Belle Époque aesthetic that feels innovative and unforgettable. Its weapon-crafting system and branching storyline provide players ample reasons to replay, while its difficulty maintains a balance between challenging and fair. Reduced all the way to $29.99, it serves as an excellent entry point for anyone seeking a dark, immersive action RPG without the full price tag.

‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4’

‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 – Standard Edition’ is priced at $34.97 on Amazon, originally $49.99, giving you a savings of $15.02. When we announced its release date earlier this year, this remake of Pro Skater 3 and 4 promised to replicate “everything that made the originals a success — tight controls, memorable levels, and an impressive soundtrack — while introducing new tricks and enhanced online multiplayer”. And that’s precisely what Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 accomplishes. Developed with Tony Hawk’s direct input, the game captures the kinetic flow that made the franchise legendary, all while updating it with contemporary polish and cross-platform functionality. At $34.97, you’re essentially paying just over $17 per game for two of the finest skateboarding titles ever produced — a bargain no skater or nostalgia-driven gamer should overlook.

‘Black Myth: Wukong’

‘Black Myth: Wukong’ is available for $57.99 on Amazon, down from $64.99, saving you $7. Mashable’s ongoing review of Black Myth: Wukong refers to this hit title as “nothing short of a mind-blowing experience” and “a true game-of-the-year contender” despite a few technical glitches. Inspired by Journey to the West, this visually breathtaking action RPG merges cinematic wuxia-inspired combat with Soulslike elements, immersing players into unforgettable boss confrontations. While some performance issues persist, especially on PC, the PS5 version operates smoothly enough to showcase its stunning art direction and fluid combat. At $57.99, it represents only a slight discount, but considering the excitement surrounding Black Myth: Wukong, even a modest price reduction is worthwhile.
