PlayStation Store Black Friday Sale: 16 Standout PS5 Deals, From God of War Ragnarök to The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3 Complete Edition drops from $49 to $14
Mark
Why does this sale matter more than the usual PlayStation Store promotions?
Mimi
Scale, mostly. The store runs dozens of sales a year, but Tom's Guide calls this the biggest and best, with more than 1,000 deals.
Mark
Which discounts are the most dramatic?
Mimi
The Witcher 3 Complete Edition goes from $49 to $14, and Dead Space from $69 to $34. God of War Ragnarök and The Last of Us Part 1 both go from $69 to $39.
Luke
Worth saying that "best" is the writer's judgment. The piece doesn't compare this sale's prices against earlier ones.
Mark
And the picks themselves?
Mimi
They're one writer's favorites out of the 1,000-plus. Lies of P is the author's personal game of the year, and it gets its first-ever discount.
Luke
So the descriptions are opinion. Calling Jedi Survivor arguably the best Star Wars media in years is a view, not a measurement.
Mark
Is there anything readers should watch for?
Luke
The end date. The article doesn't state one, so check the storefront before assuming these prices will last.
Mimi
Right. The prices are real now, but the clock is unknown from this piece.
Der Puls
- God of War Ragnarök and The Last of Us Part 1 both drop from $69 to $39, a sudden cut that makes Sony's flagship titles feel within reach.
- Among more than 1,000 deals, the steepest markdowns hit older titles: The Witcher 3 falls to $14 and Dead Space to $34.
- Recent heavyweights like Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy XVI are pulled down toward the $40 mark, crowding the sale with urgency.
- These are limited-time promotions with no end date given, so buyers must race the clock and check the storefront before prices rise again.
In the week before the year's great shopping rush, the PlayStation Store opened a Black Friday sale of more than a thousand digital offers, and Tom's Guide gathered sixteen PS5 games from among them. Such seasonal markdowns are a familiar rhythm of modern play, where a game that once asked for a full week's wages now waits patiently on a storefront for a lower price. The selections range from Sony's own blockbusters to older titles that have found second lives, and the writer's choices reflect personal enthusiasm rather than any official ranking. Whether these prices hold for long is a question the storefront alone can answer.
The PlayStation Store's Black Friday sale has arrived with more than 1,000 deals, and Tom's Guide has culled sixteen PS5 games from the crowd. The writer calls it the biggest and best of the storefront's many sales this year, and the list leans on recent blockbusters as much as on bargains from earlier years.
The headline cut belongs to God of War Ragnarök, which drops from $69 to $39, the same price now offered for The Last of Us Part 1. Horizon Forbidden West's Complete Edition, with its Burning Shores expansion, falls to $39 as well. A wave of this year's releases follows: Hogwarts Legacy, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Final Fantasy XVI, and Diablo 4 are all marked down, and Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6 sit near $39.
The writer also spotlights Lies of P, a Soulslike the author counts as a personal game of the year, offered at $47 for the first time. The deepest bargains, though, go to older or recovering titles. The Witcher 3's Complete Edition, enhanced for PS5 and packed with expansions, drops to $14, while Dead Space is halved to $34 and Cyberpunk 2077 falls to $29, with its Phantom Liberty bundle at $56.
The sixteen picks are the writer's own, not Sony's ranking, and the article gives no end date for these limited-time prices. Readers who want any of them should check the PlayStation Store for current pricing and the sale's closing day.
The PlayStation Store's Black Friday sale is live, and Tom's Guide has pulled 16 PS5 games from a lineup of more than 1,000 deals. The digital storefront runs dozens of sales through the year, but the outlet's writer calls this one easily the biggest and best of them.
The headline discount is on a Sony exclusive. God of War Ragnarök, the sequel that sends Kratos and his son Atreus across all Nine Realms of Norse mythology, drops from $69 to $39. The Last of Us Part 1, the PS5 remake of Joel and Ellie's cross-country journey, gets the same cut, from $69 to $39. Horizon Forbidden West in its Complete Edition, which bundles the base game with The Burning Shores expansion, falls from $59 to $39.
Several of the year's big releases are also marked down. Hogwarts Legacy goes from $69 to $41, as do Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Final Fantasy XVI, both from $69. Diablo 4 also falls from $69 to $41. Resident Evil 4, the full-scale remake starring Leon S. Kennedy, drops from $59 to $39. Assassin's Creed Mirage, set in 9th-century Baghdad and starring the thief-turned-assassin Basim, goes from $49 to $39. Street Fighter 6 falls from $59 to $39, and Mortal Kombat 1 from $69 to $48.
The writer singles out Lies of P, a Soulslike inspired by Dark Souls and Bloodborne and the author's personal game of the year. This is its first-ever discount: $59 down to $47.
The steepest cuts come on older or recovering titles. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition, enhanced for PS5 and including the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions, falls from $49 to $14. Tom's Guide says that price buys hundreds of hours of content. Dead Space, the remake of the sci-fi survival horror set aboard the USG Ishimura, is halved from $69 to $34. Cyberpunk 2077, which the piece acknowledges was a train wreck at launch, drops from $49 to $29. The writer says CD Projekt Red has spent three years improving it. The Phantom Liberty DLC bundle is also on sale, at $56.
The 16 picks are the writer's own favorites, not a ranking from Sony. Prices shown are limited-time promotions, and the article doesn't give an end date. Anyone planning to buy should check the PlayStation Store for current prices and when the sale closes.
