Planet of the Deals is the PlayStation Store’s newest sale, and it runs until November 4 at 11:59pm PT with hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games discounted. The PlayStation Blog announcement lists the games but leaves the prices to the store, so we went through the US PlayStation Store and picked out 12 PS5 games worth your money, from huge RPGs to cheap indie favorites.

Check your PS Plus library first
Before you buy, it’s worth knowing that Cyberpunk 2077, Persona 5 Royal and Blue Prince are also in the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalog right now, so Extra and Premium members can already play them without paying again. The sale prices are for anyone who wants to own a copy outright. Our PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for October has the rest of this month’s lineup.
Where to start
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at $14.99 is the standout. It’s an enormous RPG for roughly the price of a lunch out, and it’s the part of the remake trilogy where the world finally opens up.
Cyberpunk 2077 at $19.99 comes with good timing too. CD Projekt Red’s free Edgerunners 2 Update lands on Thursday, October 22, adding dual-wielding, console mod support and new side quests, so it’s a fine moment to start a fresh run. Our Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 patch notes rundown covers everything in it.
If you want a Halloween scare, the Resident Evil 4 remake at $9.99 is one of the best action horror games of the last few years, and that price is hard to argue with.
The cheap stuff
Some of the best value sits at the bottom of the price range. Death’s Door at $4.99 is a tight action adventure about a crow who collects souls for a living, and Inscryption at $6.99 is a card game that turns into something much stranger the longer you play. Blue Prince at $17.99 is a puzzle game set in a mansion whose rooms rearrange every day, and Hi-Fi Rush at $13.49 is a rhythm brawler that’s still one of the most cheerful games on PS5.
Bigger buys
Persona 5 Royal and Death Stranding Director’s Cut are 70% and 75% off, and either one can easily fill a hundred hours. Monster Hunter Wilds only comes down to $29.99, so it’s mainly for anyone who’s been waiting for a price drop. The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle deal is on the Premium Edition, which makes it half off but still $49.99.
Hogwarts Legacy’s Digital Deluxe Edition at $11.99 is the deepest cut on this list at 85% off.
The full sale is on the PlayStation Store until November 4. Pick up one big RPG and one cheap indie, and November is covered.
