The PlayStation Store Summer Sale kicked off on July 15 and runs until August 12, offering discounts of up to 90% across hundreds of PS5, PS4, and PS VR2 games, add-ons, and DLC. PS Plus members get early access to select deals, and some discounts are exclusive to higher-tier subscribers.
The deepest cuts are on older titles. Control – Remedy's paranormal action game – is down to $5.99–$6 (85% off). The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is $7.99 (80% off). Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition and The Quarry for PS5 both hit 90% off at $6.99. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is $10.49–$11 (85% off), and the Resident Evil remakes are mostly under $10 — RE2 and RE4 sit at $7.99 and $9.99 respectively. On the cheaper end, Planet Zoo is $5, Metro Exodus is $5, and Mortal Kombat 11 is $5. More recent releases get modest discounts: Battlefield 6 is 50% off, Assassin's Creed Shadows is 55% off, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is 60% off (PS Plus Premium), and Nioh 3 is 36% off at $44.79. Hollow Knight: Silksong is $15, and Deltarune – Toby Fox's episodic RPG – is 20% off. NBA 2K26 drops to $6.99 but only for PlayStation Premium subscribers.
The sale lands in the middle of significant Sony backlash over its decision to end support for physical game releases on PlayStation consoles by 2028. That announcement triggered widespread outrage, boycott calls, and even accelerated PS5 emulation efforts. Kotaku noted the timing bluntly — this sale is essentially a preview of the all-digital future Sony is pushing toward. The full list of discounted titles is live now on the PlayStation Store.
Community sentiment is mixed: the deals are genuinely strong, but some players are reluctant to spend on digital PlayStation games while the disc controversy is still raw. Sony has not addressed the backlash directly in connection with the sale.
