Sony’s “Days of Play” sale discounts a bunch of PS4 and PS5 exclusives
Ars Technica


With the upcoming virtual E3 set to unveil several new video games, now is a good time to pick up plenty of older titles on the cheap. Less than a week after the Dealmaster highlighted Epic’s PC gaming “Mega Sale,” today’s Dealmaster puts the spotlight on Sony, which kicked off its annual “Days of Play” sale earlier this week, bringing a range of noteworthy deals on PS4 and PS5 games, including several exclusives, at various retailers.
If you’re a PlayStation owner looking for something to play during the relatively slow summer release schedule, we’ve pored over the offers and picked out a few highlights below. Among the Ars-approved notables is the samurai action game Ghost of Tsushima, which is down to $40, tying the lowest price we’ve tracked. Similarly, the more polarizing but recently-updated-for-PS5 zombie drama The Last of Us Part II is down to a joint-low of $30. Dedicated PS5 games we like such as the Demon’s Souls remake and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales have received rare discounts as well, and a number of older PS4 classics like God of War, Uncharted 4, and Bloodborne are available for $10.

Sony says the sale will last until June 9. If your gaming backlog is big enough as it is, though, our deals roundup has plenty of offers, including good prices on Apple’s latest MacBook Air, a few well-reviewed monitors, smart thermostats, and much more. Have a look at the full selection below.

Sony's Back Button Attachment only works with the DualShock 4, so it isn't compatible with PS5 games, but it adds a couple useful rear paddles to enthusiast players. It still works when connected to a PC, too.
