Sony Offers Up to 50% Off PS5 Games, Gamers Finally Able to Afford One Additional Microtransaction

In what industry insiders are calling “the closest thing to a stimulus check the gaming community will ever see,” Sony has generously slashed up to 50% off select PS5 games, giving fans the rare opportunity to rebalance their credit card debt and their backlog at the same time.

The Days of Play sale, which runs through June 10th, features jaw-dropping markdowns, such as the samurai epic Ghost of Yōtei for just $49.99—nearly enough savings to leave your therapist speechless. “I was able to buy The Last of Us Part II Remastered for $29.99 and still had enough left for a single in-game skin,” said longtime gamer Ethan Travers, who hasn’t seen sunlight since the PS5 launched in 2020. “I feel like I’ve finally made it.”

Deal watchers also celebrated the chance to snag Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for $29.99, saving enough cash to almost afford a single cup of coffee at Starbucks. “I’ll use the $40 I saved to buy some downloadable horse armor,” said Best Buy regular Linda Farnsworth. “It’s the American dream.”

Sony spokesperson Brad Itsumoto explained the philosophy behind the sale: “We wanted to give gamers a chance to buy our cutting-edge titles without needing to take out a second mortgage—at least until we drop the next $90 deluxe edition.”

For those feeling especially thrifty, the Wonder Oven is $70 off, making it the only appliance in history to heat up a Hot Pocket and your bank account simultaneously. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption for Switch is $5 off, prompting one user to ask, “Is this what financial freedom tastes like?”

Analysts predict that, at the current rate, by 2031 Sony fans may be able to afford both a discounted game and the DLC in the same fiscal quarter.
