Sony discounts its PS5 games in the PlayStation Store Summer Sale

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched its PlayStation Store Summer Sale, featuring savings on thousands of games, according to the firm.

The promotion runs until 11.59pm local time on August 18, although some titles will leave the sale on August 4 (check each game’s PlayStation Store page for the end date).

Of note, four of Sony’s first-party PlayStation 5 games are discounted, including some special edition versions of the titles.

They are Demon’s Souls, Returnal, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure (the last two are also available on PS4).

Other popular titles featured in the sale include Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, FIFA 21, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Hitman 3.

A full list of titles included in the sale can be viewed on the PlayStation Blog, or you can just head over to the PlayStation Store’s sale section to browse.

• Demon’s Souls: $46.69 (29% off) / £52.49 (25% off)

Sony is seemingly in the process of rolling out its first revision of the PlayStation 5 hardware.

A new version of the PS5 Digital Edition console detailed in an official Japanese product manual shows that the updated hardware model (CFI-1100B) weighs 3.6kg, which is 300g less than the launch version (CFI-1000B).

The revised hardware also appears to include a different screw used to attach the console’s stand.
