After this weekend kicked off some unprecedented deals across PlayStation 5 consoles, DualSense controllers, and even some colorful console covers, Sony and other retailers are also discounting some of the PS5’s biggest titles and exclusives. We’ve seen many of these deal prices in the past, but they only come around a handful of times per year, so it’s a good chance to fill gaps in your catalog with games you’ve been meaning to get to.

Here are some notable highlights of major PS5 game deals going on right now, all of which should run through August 19th:

A roguelike third-person shooter that puts you in the shoes of Selene, an astronaut tormented by a seemingly never-ending time loop.

While Ragnarök’sthird-person action gameplay feels similar to its predecessor, its story is far more ambitious. As Kratos wishes to bury his past, he’s trying to convince his young son, Atreus, not to follow a tempting path at discovering his godhood and defying prophecy.

A remake of the 2009 game Demon’s Souls by FromSoftware, rebuilt from the ground up by Bluepoint Games.

The second Spider-Man game developed by Insomniac Games. Instead of focusing on Peter Parker, this installment lets you control Miles Morales. It also includes a remastered version of the PS4 game Marvel’s Spider-Man from 2018, optimized for PS5.

This is just a sample of PlayStation deals going on during Sony’s Summer Sale, so be sure to also check out the deals directly on the PlayStation
