PlayStation is Having a Big Sale on PS5 Games, Accessories and More at PS Direct This Week

PlayStation just launched a brand new sale on its online store in the US, and it includes some of the best deals and discounts we’ve seen for PS5 since Black Friday. The sale runs until March 9, and includes a wide variety of offers to check out across games, accessories, and more.

Standout inclusions are $20 off physical copies of Ghost of Yotei, its first major discount since release, alongside the limited edition Death Stranding 2 DualSense Controller, which has also secured a $20 discount.

Some other standouts that are particularly great in the sale include the complete edition of Horizon Forbidden West for $20 (physical copy), which is an amazing deal, especially since this includes all the add-on content, such as the Burning Shores story expansion that picks up where the main game left off. That expansion costs $20 alone, so if you’ve been playing via PS Plus, it’s massively beneficial for you to now own the full game and DLC as a single purchase.

That’s not the only fantastic game down to $20 either, as you can also score God of War Ragnarok with an almighty $50 discount. Both of these are down to their Black Friday pricing from last year, and well worth considering.

I’d also recommend Spider-Man 2, down to just $30, and $40 off, alongside Death Stranding 2 for $50 and Stellar Blade for $40. Astro Bot is also down to its lowest price ever at $32.99 via Amazon right now. Note, these are all physical copies that have been discounted, so ensure you’ve got the PS5 disc drive to take advantage of the discounts (I’m looking at you, PS5 Pro owners).

Besides games, my next best pick is up to 50% off select PS5 console covers, with the Midnight Black slim covers and other standard colorways down to $39, and the Colbalt Blue slim covers down to just $44. That’s a significant drop from the usual $54-59. You can also save $100 on PlayStation VR2, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei Collector’s Editions.

Just to top things off, there’s also $100 off PS5 consoles in the form of the ongoing Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle (which first featured over Black Friday/Holiday sales last year), and up to $150 saving on Certified Refurbished PlayStation consoles, controllers, and more. My favorite from this offering is definitely on the DualSense Edge Controller, which you can score for $169.

That’s Black Friday level pricing, even if it is a refurbished deal, I guarantee you won’t be able to tell the difference, and it just makes things all the more affordable in a difficult and expensive time to be a gamer. But, it’s worth noting that the certified refurbished deals are an ongoing offer at PS Direct, so they won’t expire once the official promo period ends on March 9. PlayStation, and myself, are simply highlighting them during the sale.

Moreover, as mentioned, $100 off PS5 consoles is another great deal, but it is also another ongoing promotion that has been going since the end of last year. It’s still a limited edition console, and a great deal at that, but not something that is specific to this particular sale. Still, I wanted to include it, as it’s still a tidy offering, and worth considering if you’re in the market for a new console, perhaps to even play GTA 6 later this year.

PlayStation’s new sale is fairly extensive, and the best deals we’ve seen on physical games since November last year, and in some cases the deals are even better. There’s plenty more offers to check out in the sale right now, with several other games discounted that I haven’t mentioned, so be sure to check out the full sale in case I’ve missed anything important to you.
