The PlayStation Store has a habit of starting a new sales event immediately after the previous one concludes. But this time it’s gone a step further and launched two new sales in the wake of the Mega March event ending. These are called Essential Picks and Extended Play and include some pretty fantastic discounts on some of my favorite PS5 games.
Essential Picks is fairly self-explanatory. It’s a sale on games that PlayStation has deemed essential. This collection of more than 1,300 individual discounts includes Madden NFL 24 for just $13 (that’s the lowest ever price), the very underrated Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora with a 40% discount and the former PS5-exclusive shooter Deathloop on sale for just $11, which is a massive 80% off.
Meanwhile, the Extended Play sale is largely focused on DLC packs and in-game currencies, but it does include a few deals on full games including Uncharted Legacy of Thieves for $19, the biggest saving to date on Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition and Metro Exodus Gold Edition for $5, which includes the base game and its DLC chapters.
