The best cheap PS5 game deals in September 2022

With the cost of the PS5 going up, as well as AAA games generally becoming more expensive, it can be costly to pick up new games at full price.

Luckily, PS5 games are frequently discounted a few months after their release, and there’s even a few instances of pre-orders being listed cheaper than their RRP.

Big titles, such as Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West, can often be found well below their original listed price, and if you haven’t had a chance to play them yet, it’s well worth combing through to find the games that are still worth checking out. Even upcoming games like God of War Ragnarok can also be found at a modest discount.

It’s also worth checking to see if some games are included as part of the updated PS Plus subscription, as there are hundreds of titles available to play at no extra cost.

If you’re looking for all the latest upcoming PS5 games,as well as some of the best games the PS5 has to offer at a reasonable discount, then keep reading the rest of the article below to find out more.

We lavished our praises on its impressive looks in our review, with particular note to its long list of accessibility features. One of our few drawbacks for this technical and artistic masterpiece was its prohibitive price at £69.99, so if you want to save money on the new release, Base currently has a saving of over £9.

The game that defined a genre, the original Demon’s Souls didn’t get the love it deserved when it first released on the PS3 and it wasn’t until the huge success of Dark Souls that it began to find an audience. This remake from Bluepoint Studios was one of the original launch titles for the PS5 and gave the (admittedly) ageing title a new breath of life, with stunning visuals and quality of life improvements. If you enjoyed Elden Ring, Bloodborne or the Dark Soul’s series, there’s no better way to see where it all began.

The Lands Between is a truly breathtaking open world filled with mysteries, danger and wonder that few other games manage to achieve.

Hideo Kojima’s first title since leaving Konami is as baffling, star-studded and inventive as you might expect from the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series. Death Stranding sees Sam Bridges journey across the United States to deliver goods to isolated cities and people. Kojima dubbed it the first “strand-type” game and no, we have no idea what that means either. But at over half price, it’s definitely worth the journey.
