The Mid-Year, Level Up, and Games Under $20 sales are all running right now
The PlayStation Store is hostingthree major sales(and a “Deal of the Week” promo onThe Sims 4), so there are a lot of discounts floating around right now — even more than normal. There’s aMid-Year saleon big PS4 and PS5 games, aLevel Up saleon DLC and expansions, and aGames Under $20 salewith indies, hidden gems, and older titles.
Where to start? I never know. I’m just going to toss out some chaotic recommendations.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands($47.99 for PS4; $71.99 for PS4/PS5 with the Season Pass) andRiders Republic($23.99) are two games I ended up enjoying far more than I would’ve expected. The former had a not-too-jarring D&D-ish story campaign, and the latter was a good way to unwind in a care-free extreme-sports open world with fun traversal options.
If you’re looking to fill theElden Ring-sized hole in your heart,Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice($29.99) is waiting, as always. You might have some whiplash —Elden Ringhas so many potential builds, whileSekirois super focused with a bit of wiggle room — but it’s worth putting time into. When everything finally clicks into place, few games pay off better.
You might find a hidden gem in the Games Under $20 section, which is usually the most exciting place to poke around. Here are some assorted deals that stood out to me.
Budget PS4 game picks
Sony hasa full list of dealsfor the PlayStation Store Mid-Year sale, if you need it.
The Mid-Year, Level Up, and Games Under $20 sales are running throughJuly 6, while theSims 4deals, including expansions likeCottage Living, are here through June 29. My fiancée adds another expansion to her collection every time there’s a discount like this, and I swear there’s no end in sight. Every time I check back in, everyone’s all grown up.
I’ve been on the fence about upgrading to PlayStation Plus Extra lately, but I have plenty to play as is, and my backlog-clearing pace can’t keep up with PlayStation Store sales. (Should I keep chipping away at collectibles inGhostwire Tokyo? No. But I can’t help myself.)
I do hope more people giveSekiroa chance. I want to see it climb the FromSoft tier list.
