A significant sale on physical PlayStation 5 games is currently underway across major retailers, offering players a prime opportunity to expand their disc-based collections. This event coincides with the PlayStation Store's summer sale, with discounts mirroring those available digitally. The sale is particularly noteworthy as Sony plans to discontinue physical media support for its consoles around the time of the PlayStation 6 launch in 2028.
Among the heavily discounted titles are several critically acclaimed first-party exclusives. Prices have been slashed on games such as Returnal, now $30 (down from $70), and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, available for $20 (normally $60). Popular titles like God of War are priced at $10 (down from $20), while God of War Ragnarok is $30 (normally $70). The Horizon series also sees substantial reductions, with Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition at $30 (down from $50) and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered at $20 (normally $50).
Further savings can be found on Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, priced at $30 (normally $60), and Death Stranding Director's Cut, available for $50 (normally $70). Even more recent releases are included, with Death Stranding 2 on sale for $40 (normally $70). Insomniac Games' acclaimed titles are also featured, with Spider-Man: Miles Morales at $20 (normally $50) and Spider-Man 2 at $30 (normally $70). Other notable deals include The Last of Us Part 1 for $30 (normally $70), Demon's Souls for $30 (normally $70), and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for $30 (normally $70). Stellar Blade is also available for $30 (normally $70), and Days Gone is priced at $20 (down from $40).
This sale includes recent releases like Saros, a bullet-heaven roguelite shooter from Housemarque, which is available for $50 (normally $70). The deep discounts on these games, some of which were released as recently as last summer, underscore the impending shift away from physical media.
While digital games offer convenience, their permanence is tied to server availability and digital storefronts. With Sony's impending move away from discs, these sales represent one of the final chances for consumers to acquire physical copies of games that may become future classics. Although Sony has indicated that publishers may continue to produce discs for existing PS5 titles, the long-term availability of this support remains uncertain.
