PS Plus Members Get First Access to New PlayStation Store Sale

Sure, here it is:

Okay, so here’s the scoop. July 11 was kinda wild for anyone hooked on PlayStation Plus. They basically threw us a curveball with an early access thing for the PlayStation Summer Sale. Over 200 games, just hanging out with slashed prices. But you needed a PS Plus membership to get in—any level was cool, no need to panic if you’re not super elite. Anyway—no, actually—where was I headed with this? Oh right, the general public, aka those without the magic PS Plus card, would have to wait a bit longer, probably the next week.

For now, if you’ve got that PS Plus vibe—Essential, Extra, or maybe you fancy yourself Premium—you’ve got until July 15 to hoard those discounts. After that, the gates open wide for everyone else. Something about early bird catching the worm, I guess. Alongside this, there’s the July Savings and Games Under $20 sales—ends on July 16, so don’t dawdle. What’s more, PS Plus subscribers can snag monthly games, like Diablo 4 and Jusant. Essential users, I’m looking at you; make sure you claim them before month’s end—don’t be that person who forgets.

Weird thing—why do I remember seeing a picture? A ghost or something on a PS5 model? It kinda stuck with me, for no reason. Maybe it’s just shiny objects syndrome. Anyway, those OG PS5 owners, they seemed ticked off about the Ghost of Yotei announcement. Like, seriously, their mood went from zero to a hundred real quick. Must’ve felt left out by the console overlords again. Classic.

But back to the games. For a hot second, they’re giving us access to discounts on over 200 PS4 and PS5 titles. MP1st splashed out some deets—think sports, horror, and shoot-’em-ups. Cheap thrills include Borderlands 3 for a measly $5.99, The Witcher 3 at $7.99, and Skyrim—because who doesn’t love Skyrim?—at $9.99. Got a soft spot for underdogs? Try Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League for $6.99 (remember when everyone was mad at it?), then there’s some spookiness with Alien: Isolation at $9.99, and RoboCop: Rogue City at $8.99. By the way, RoboCop’s got a new gig launching July 17.

Now, if you’re into keeping tabs, these deals are notable (I think):

– Alien: Isolation – $9.99
– Bioshock: Collection – $9.99
– Borderlands 3 – $5.99
– Elden Ring – $35.99
– Final Fantasy 7 Remake + Rebirth – $56.99
– Forza Horizon 5 – $44.99
– Grand Theft Auto 5 – $19.99
– Metaphor: ReFantaszio – $41.99
– Red Dead Redemption 2 – $14.99
– RoboCop: Rogue City – $8.99
– Silent Hill 2 Remake – $34.99
– Suicide Squad – $6.99
– Oblivion Remastered – $39.99
– Skyrim – $9.99
– Witcher 3 – $7.99

Oh, PS—a few random thoughts. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is bargain-priced at $39.99, which isn’t its usual groove. And don’t forget about the hits from last year, like Silent Hill 2 Remake (fifty percent off, anyone?) or Atlus’ Metaphor: ReFantasio—forty percent down, now at $41.99. Honestly, if you’re a PlayStation fanatic, just keep an eye on those discounts. Wonder if Cyberpunk 2077 will make a splash Extra or Premium style. Guess we’ll see who cashes in on the deals.
