PlayStation has revealed the date for its 2023 Summer Sale, as gamers can get discounts on thousands of PS5 and PS4 games starting July 19. Most digital storefronts host special sales throughout the year, and PlayStation is no exception.
Sony adds a new sale on the PlayStation Store almost every other week, giving fans discounts on a wide variety of titles. Some of them are designed around specific themes, such as a sale event that mainly offers discounts on DLC and expansion content, with another primarily focused on indie games on PS5. Now, Sony has confirmed that a Summer Sale will soon start on the PlayStation Store.
Sony has announced that PlayStation Store’s Summer Sale will start on July 19, offering discounts on thousands of PS5 and PS4 games. These discounts will only be available for a limited time, and the sale event will officially end at 11:59 PM local time on August 16. However, some titles will be removed from the promotion on August 2, so gamers may want to keep an eye on the list of games they want to purchase. Fans can also choose to add titles to their wishlists, and the PS5 will notify them whenever the product goes on sale, during the Summer Sale or any other promotion in the future.
Players will have to wait until 12:00 AM local time on July 19 to see the full list, as PlayStation has not revealed the games on offer. It will probably include a decent mix of popular first-party and third-party games, along with some indie titles. The blog post doesn’t explicitly state if PS VR2 games will be sale, so PS VR2 owners will have to wait until it starts for more information.
Sony hosts a Summer Sale every year, with last year’s promotion offering discounts on a massive number of games. Fans could purchase titles like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Quarry, and more at reduced prices during this promotion. Sony also refreshed the list of games available during the Summer Sale, with Horizon Forbidden West added to the lineup among other titles.
The PlayStation Blog hasn’t mentioned if PlayStation Plus memberships will be a part of this sale, so users looking to subscribe or extend their memberships may have to wait until later. PS Plus memberships go on sale only a few times in a year, primarily during the Days of Play and Black Friday promotions.
