Sony is running a big new sale on PS Store, and this time, it’s a promotional Summer Game Fest offer. There’s about a week and a half to go, so there’s still time to get some decent bargains.
Running until 19th June, the Summer Game Fest sale includes thousands of PS5 and PS4 games with slashed prices.
It’s simply too many to properly browse through, and as always, we’ve put together a more digestible list of titles we think are worth considering.
Each game on this list has at least a 7/10 from Push Square, and they’re all at their lowest price points — some even cheaper than ever before.
So, let’s take a look at some of the best games in the PS Store’s Summer Game Fest sale.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (PS4)
$14.99/£12.49 (-75%)
Vanillaware’s immaculate track record could have easily gone off the rails with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim — a visual novel and strategy hybrid that’s a far cry from the action RPGs that the studio has become known for. But the finished product is arguably the developer’s most impactful game yet. Fantastic characters and a an utterly gripping narrative make 13 Sentinels a borderline masterpiece in terms of storytelling. A genuine treat for your eyes and your brain.

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure (PS5)
$9.99/£7.49 (-50%)
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is a delightfully inventive puzzle game that weaves in a neat narrative to pull you through. Playing as a character that literally moves the world around her as she goes, this is effectively a series of slide puzzles set within a fleshed out world full of whimsical character. Always building on its core idea in imaginative ways, this is brilliant fun from start to finish.
Batman: Arkham VR (PS4)
$4.99/£2.39 (-75%/-85%)
A change of pace for the talented Rocksteady team, but a welcomed one. Batman: Arkham VR may have been more of a proof of concept for the fledgling virtual reality medium, but at launch it stood as one of the best examples for Sony’s PSVR technology you could buy. A series of vignettes, testing the Caped Crusader’s detective abilities, this experience used many of the same psychological tricks from the core Arkham titles, which hit even harder in virtual reality.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4)
$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a wonderful love letter to Castlevania fans. It’s gothy, camp, and unabashedly old school. But it’s also a meticulously crafted game that constantly rewards players for exploration and offers unbridled options in combat. For long-time Metroidvania fans, Ritual of the Night is an unmissable celebration of the genre from the mind of one if its chief architects, while for newcomers it’s an accessible entry-point that’s easy to pick up and oh so difficult to put down.
Chernobylite (PS5)
$7.49/£6.24 (-75%)
Chernobylite is an altogether quite different FPS that throws in elements of survival. Set within the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the game is an atmospheric, eerie adventure that has you hunting for resources and managing your team of allies as much as shooting enemies. Full of creative ideas, not everything sticks the landing, but it’s an ambitious title unlike anything else.
Code Vein (PS4)
$8.99/£6.99 (-85%)
Code Vein is a stylish JRPG with an interesting combat system that just falls short in a few areas. Its inspirations are clearly worn on its sleeve, but it brings enough to the table to stand out on its own. This title has promise, and we think the developer could iron it out into a worthy franchise if it’s given the chance to make future instalments.
Crusader Kings III: Console Edition (PS5)
$19.99/£17.99 (-60%)
Crusader Kings III is a truly excellent strategy game on PC, and the PS5 console edition is a great alternative way to play. With totally reimagined controls and a new interface, this deep, complex, and rewarding game is catered to the DualSense controller, and it works remarkably well overall. There’s an entire world to get lost in here as you aim to establish yourself in an alternate history. If you’re willing to learn all its intricacies, you’re in for an extremely rich adventure.
Crypt Custodian (PS5)
$14.99/£11.99 (-25%)
Some say there are too many Metroidvania games for this world, yet when one as good as Crypt Custodian comes along, it serves as a reminder of exactly why so many developers chase that addictive fusion of explorative action. With shades of Death’s Door and Tunic, brotherly duo Kyle and Eric Thompson have made an approachable yet exceedingly enjoyable adventure full of combat, platforming, puzzles, and charm.
Dave the Diver (PS5)
$12.99/£10.39 (-35%)
Dave the Diver, like the sea, is far deeper than you think it is. It charms with its attractive visuals and addictive loop of diving for fish and running a restaurant, but it never rests on its laurels, always finding new ways to enhance the fun. There’s never a dull moment, whether it’s a whole new feature expanding the gameplay, an unexpected new story beat, or another hilarious cutscene to enjoy. It’s this constant reinvention and surprise that makes the game so compelling, even through the occasional rougher moments. If you’ve yet to experience it for yourself, we’d highly encourage that you take the plunge.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (PS5)
$29.99/£26.99 (-40%)
Capcom has brought back its cult classic in style with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. You’re trapped inside a shopping mall infested with the undead, and you only have so much time before things truly go south. With modernised visuals, streamlined gameplay, and other new features, this is now arguably the definitive version of the zombie action title.
Demeo (PS5)
$19.99/£16.49 (-50%)
While we’ve got a lot of time for the intensive virtual reality titles that put you in extraordinary situations, sometimes the stationary experiences are among the best. Demeo succeeds by blending traditional tabletop gameplay with fantastical environments, resulting in the most expressive and immersive board game you can play. The execution is exemplary, and with an impressively active and welcoming community, you could easily lose hundreds of hours to this thought-provoking release.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut (PS5)
$11.99/£9.89 (-70%)
Disco Elysium stands as a truly great achievement in role-playing. Attempting to crack a dangerously suspicious murder case as an amnesiac cop, you’re tasked with interrogating the locals while trying to work out just who the hell you’re supposed to be. Engrossing from start to finish, Disco Elysium is built on a foundation of fantastic writing and brilliant characters, as you carve your own unique path through the atmospheric city of Revachol. Its methodical pace won’t be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a deep and brain-bending RPG, you won’t find anything better on PS5.
DmC: Devil May Cry – Definitive Edition (PS4)
$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)
DmC: Devil May Cry – Definitive Edition is one of the more thoughtful remasters on the PS4, and its emphasis on modifiers means that you can more or less tailor the experience to your tastes. We’re still not sure whether old-school Devil May Cry fans will allow themselves to enjoy Ninja Theory’s take on the series, but many of the tweaks have been designed with those outspoken individuals in mind. For everyone else, the Cambridge-based company’s confident take on Capcom’s character action classic is well worth playing – and even if its previous generation hallmarks are still present, its upscaled visuals and boosted framerate make this particular edition heaven sent.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins (PS5)
$53.89/£50.04 (-23%)
There simply isn’t another action game like Dynasty Warriors: Origins on PS5. It takes the series’ ‘1 vs. 1,000’ concept to new and often awe-inspiring heights, dropping players into absolutely colossal Three Kingdoms clashes. More of a story-driven action RPG than its predecessors, Origins is a surprisingly bold step in a promising new direction for Koei Tecmo’s classic hack and slash franchise.
Exoprimal (PS5)
$9.59/£7.99 (-84%)
A white-knuckle fusion of Overwatch 2 and Gears of War, the excellent Exoprimal is one of the best co-op shooters in quite some time. With a varied, entertaining roster of characters, all with unique playstyles and synergies, there’s tactical depth to this third-person shooter which only serves to make its pulsating prehistoric battles all the more rewarding. While it is a little lightweight at launch, and there will be questions over whether it’ll receive the post-release support required to ensure its longevity, there’s the foundation for something truly special here.
Far Cry 6 (PS5)
$14.99/£14.99 (-75%)
After a few forgettable entries, Far Cry 6 found the fun again. Of course, there’s an undeniable familiarity here: you play as Dani – either male or female – and must work alongside a ragtag group of guerrillas to liberate the beautiful landscape of Yara from the rule of a menacing dictator named Antón Castillo. But while the core formula remains intact, there’s fun to be found in the emergent combat gauntlets and DIY armaments, with a backpack rocket launcher and Walkman assault rifle among some of the highlights. If you’re ever in need of open world comfort food, then you can’t really go wrong here.
Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster (PS4)
$9.99/£9.99 (-60%)
If you’re itching for an angsty JRPG that’s very much a product of its time, Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster is the game for you. Square Enix did a great job of updating this saga for both modern and nostalgic audiences. Even though parts of it have definitely aged, Final Fantasy X remains a landmark release, telling a love story that’s full of weird twists, spread across an intriguing and unique fantasy world. X-2, on the other hand, borders on fan fiction. A direct sequel to X that’s campy beyond measure — but it’s still a fun time thanks to well worked gameplay mechanics.
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise (PS4)
$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)
When it comes to making you feel like the coolest person around, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise succeeds on every level. While its structure may borrow a little too heavily from the Yakuza series, combat is the real differentiator with unforgettable techniques that’ll really leave a mark and combos to finish off even the most foreboding of enemies. Those looking for their next dose of Japanese flair will most certainly be hooked, because Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is everything we were hoping it would be.
For Honor (PS4)
$4.49/£3.74 (-85%)
By successfully meshing team based multiplayer with the sort of mechanics you’d normally find in a fighting game, For Honor manages to offer an experience like no other on the PS4. While the skill barrier to entry will likely cause frustration for some, anyone who puts time into learning the extremely deep combat will find each hard-fought success immensely satisfying. While the ancillary mechanics – such as the battle map and loot system – don’t feel particularly engaging, it’s the enjoyable campaign and multiplayer combat that are enough to ensure this title deserves more than just an honourable mention.
God of War III Remastered (PS4)
$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)
God of War III Remastered may have been one of the last hurrahs for the series’ old-school, fixed perspective style – but it’s still an absolute doozy. Presented pristinely on PS4, this trilogy closer has some of the most epic moments you’ll find any console, including an opening boss fight against Poseidon that remains utterly jaw-dropping even today.
Gone Home (PS4)
$7.49/£5.99 (-50%)
Gone Home manages to pull off one heck of a switcheroo. Initially framed as a sort of horror experience, the hauntingly empty house you navigate slowly reveals a sad, touching narrative. It can be beaten in less than an hour, but soak in the details and the ending will hit you hard. An excellent example of less is more, Gone Home is an understated adventure you shouldn’t ignore.
