Several PlayStation 5 video games have gone on sale at Best Buy as part of its Back to School event, including highly-rated titles like Ratchet & Clank, Death Stranding 2, and Astro Bot, a former game of the year winner. Amazon has already started price matching several of these deals as well.
$19.99 PlayStation 5 Video Games
So far, the $19.99 bargain bin deals are exclusive to Best Buy. The price might be cheap, but the games are anything but. The highlight here is the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which is actually two games: Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and The Lost Legacy. You don’t want to miss out on the other deals, either. For example, Sackboy and Horizon Zero Dawn are excellent games that will give you far more than $20 worth of entertainment.
$29.99 PlayStation 5 Video Games
Most of the games fall into the $29.99 category and most prices are matched on Amazon. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is one of the most polished games I’ve played on the PS5 console and I highly recommend you give it a try. If you’re looking for a game with a gripping story and characters you’ll pick apart well after the game is finished, God of War Ragnarok and The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 (which received scores of 10/10, 9/10, and 10/10, respectively) will deliver that in spades.
$39.99+ PlayStation 5 Video Games
Astro Bot won The Game Awards’ Game of the Year in 2024 and for good reason. Team Asobi started off with a free game, Astro’s Playroom, when the PlayStation 5 first launched and turned it into a full-fledged experience that ended up becoming one of the best exclusives to grace the console. Both adults and kids alike should give this one a shot, especially if you love 3D platformers and are a sucker for PlayStation trivia.
Other standout titles include Death Stranding 2, featuring mo-capped Elle Fanning and Norman Reedus among others, Stellar Blade, whose overwhelming popularity is definitely not because of the character design, and Saros, a game I hadn’t seen discounted before this sale.
