With Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, weekly gaming sales are no longer as exciting as they were a decade ago. That said, if you are specifically looking to (digitally) own an open-world game, then we recommend keeping a close eye on the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Stores, along with Steam, to monitor any ongoing sales. These titles keep players busy for weeks on end, so buying them can be cheaper than committing to a one-month subscription, and you end up owning the game after everything is said and done.
Right now, every major platform is offering many exciting open-world game sales, delivering discounts that cover an impressive range of prices and subgenres. To help ensure you don't miss out on any deals that might be perfect for you, here is a rundown of the best bargains on the PS Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo Store, and Steam.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- The information reflects deals available on the morning of September 8, 2025; as the week progresses, things could change.
- This is NOT an exhaustive list of every open-world game on sale.
- Only open-world game discounts that are available for 24+ hours after this article's publication are included.
- If a sale expires before the end of the week, its final day will be listed. Do not leave it to the last second.
- If a sale lasts the full week, no date will be mentioned.
Best PS5 Open-World Games Deals
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Cyberpunk 2077, RDR 2, Rise of the Ronin, & More
The PlayStation Store's deal of the week is a 33% discount on Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft's 2025 Japan-based entry. The game garnered a predominantly positive reception, and it is a solid option for anyone craving a fairly lengthy campaign. Rise of the Ronin is also available for a decent price if you want something similar that focuses more on combat. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Star Wars Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and Cyberpunk 2077 have been frequently on sale in recent weeks, but they are great open-world games.
Pretty much all the deals on PS5 open-world games are set to expire on September 11, allowing interested players a few days to pick up whatever might interest them. There is a good chance that Sony will start a new sale after that point, although who knows what its content will include. Along with plenty of native PS5 games, quite a few PS4 open-world projects are also on sale, and they are included below since they can be played on both systems.

Avatar, Far Cry, The Crew, South Park, Star Wars Outlaws, & More
As pretty much always, Ubisoft is mostly carrying Microsoft's Xbox open-world game deals at the moment, with most of the available projects being developed and published by the company. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, South Park, The Crew, Tom Clancy, and Watch Dogs all have representatives with pretty steep discounts.
