Sony has officially kicked off 2026 with a massive bang, launching its highly anticipated PlayStation Store New Year Deals promotion. Starting January 15 and running through January 29, 2026, this extensive sale features deep discounts on a staggering catalog of over 3,500 titles and DLC packs. PlayStation 5 and PS4 owners can score massive price cuts of up to 75%—and in some cases even more—on everything from recent blockbusters to essential indie darlings. If you missed out on the holiday sales, this is your second chance to grab high-profile games like Star Wars Outlaws and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II at their lowest prices yet.
Headline PS5 Deals: Record Lows for Major 2025 Releases
The standout headline of this sale is undoubtedly the aggressive pricing on major titles that launched in the last 12-18 months. Leading the charge is Ubisoft’s open-world adventure, Star Wars Outlaws. After its release in late 2024, the game has hit a record-low price of $20.99—a massive 70% markdown from its standard $69.99 MSRP. For players who waited for patches and content updates, this is the perfect entry point.
Another heavy hitter seeing a significant price drop is Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Released in February 2025, Warhorse Studios' realistic medieval RPG is celebrating its one-year anniversary early with a 50% discount, bringing it down to roughly $29.99. The sequel has been praised for its immersive world and refined combat, making this deal a steal for RPG enthusiasts looking for a 100+ hour adventure.

Best PS4 and Legacy Titles Under $20
The New Year Deals promotion isn't just for current-gen exclusives; it’s also a treasure trove for PS4 owners or PS5 players looking to fill their backlogs with backward-compatible classics. Rockstar’s masterpiece Red Dead Redemption 2 is once again available for a steal at 75% off, dropping the price to under $20. Despite its age, it remains a benchmark for open-world storytelling.
For strategy fans, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is seeing its first major discount since coming to consoles, while platforming fans can pick up Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time for a fraction of its launch price. These titles prove that you don't need to spend $70 to get a premium gaming experience in 2026.
Hidden Gems and Indie Steals
Beyond the AAA juggernauts, the "New Year Deals" sale offers incredible value in the indie sector. Hollow Knight: Silksong, which finally graced consoles recently, has a modest but welcome 20% discount. Meanwhile, the critically acclaimed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is marked down by 25%, offering a visually stunning turn-based RPG experience for under $40.
If you are looking for pure adrenaline, look for Ghostrunner 2 and Sifu, both of which are listed with discounts exceeding 60%. These lower-priced digital titles are perfect for filling the gap between major releases without breaking the bank.
Don't Miss Out: Sale Ends Soon
While the selection is vast, the clock is ticking. The PlayStation Store New Year Deals 2026 event is scheduled to end on Wednesday, January 29. Unlike some seasonal sales that extend for a month, this is a shorter two-week window designed to clear out digital inventory before the February release rush. We highly recommend browsing your wishlist via the PlayStation App or console store immediately, as these prices will likely revert to standard MSRP in just a few days.
