PlayStation Shakes Up New Year with Unmissable Game Discounts
The festive season might have ended, but Sony’s New Year sale is keeping the holiday spirit alive. Until mid-January 2025, PlayStation enthusiasts are treated to significant discounts on PS5 and PS4 games. This sale is a golden opportunity to snag titles you’ve been eyeing while waiting for that perfect deal.
Stack Up Your Backlog Smartly
Sure, accumulating games might not be traditional for minimizing your backlog. Yet, with games releasing faster than ever, this method feels quite justified. The trick lies in timing. Sony’s sale arrives before 2025’s release wave, offering a chance to prepare your gaming library affordably.
Among the discounted gems, some top 2024 releases are catching gamers’ attention. Helldivers 2 costs $32, down 20%, and Stellar Blade is now $50, reduced by 29%. Dragon Age: The Veilguard comes in at $41, a 40% price drop. Other notable mentions include Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at $53, Silent Hill 2 remake available for $49, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 priced at $53.
Dive into Deep Discounts
Yet, the steepest savings are tucked within older game titles. Red Dead Redemption 2 goes for $20, trimmed by 67%. Hogwarts Legacy is available for $18, an impressive 75% off. Cyberpunk 2077’s new price is $25, reduced by 50%. Meanwhile, Elden Ring and Resident Evil 4 see cuts to $36 and $20, respectively. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor welcomes you back to the galaxy for just $20, saving you 60%.
Bold discounts are also observed in Alan Wake II, Tekken 8, and Street Fighter VI, slashing their prices by 50% across the board.
Gamers nostalgic for vintage experiences should jump at Okami HD, now a mere $5, down 75%. The Borderlands Legendary Collection, priced at $10 for an 80% reduction, is a superb way to gear up for the impending Borderlands 4 release. Dodge Borderlands 3 if needed; a recap video might suffice.
Onward to the Sequels
Looking ahead, sequels are on the rise. Grand Theft Auto V’s discount to $15 sets the stage for its forthcoming sequel. Doom Eternal sits at $10, with a whopping 75% markdown, paving the way for Doom: The Dark Ages.
Okami HD made it to this list too. With last year’s sequel announcement still fresh, $5 feels like a theft for such a legendary masterpiece.
In the bustling world of video games, the adage "timing is everything" rings truer than ever. Sony’s sale is more than a chance to spend but a strategic move to arm yourself for the months ahead. Whether it’s catching up with past titles or gearing up for future sequels, this season’s sagacious gamer knows where to invest.
