PS5 Exclusive Game Receives 58% Discount on PS Store

The July PlayStation sale, huh? I stumbled across it while half-looking for a reason to procrastinate — aren’t we all? Anyway, some pretty sweet deals popped up, especially for PS5 and PS4 games that everyone seems to rave about. I got fixated on one, though. Returnal. Heard of it?

—

Returnal’s now going for, like, 58% off. Do the math, and that’s $29.39 instead of its usual $69.99. Not to sound like a late-night infomercial, but seriously, that’s a steal. But, of course, snag it before July 17 at the crack of dawn (2:59 a.m. ET, if you’re curious).

So, what’s this game about? Picture this: you’re crashing on this ever-morphing alien planet — typical Wednesday, right? Selene, our fearless protagonist, gets stuck in this brutal loop. She keeps dying, poor thing, only to start all over again. It’s like Groundhog Day but with more aliens and less Bill Murray. The kicker? Every new cycle changes your gear and the planet’s layout. Adapt or die, as they say.

Now, when Returnal launched back in 2021, critics weren’t shy about loving it — Metacritic clocked it at an 86 from 115 reviews. Kudos left and right. Best Action Game and some fancy audio award (D.I.C.E. Awards or something).

Oh, yeah, and when we checked it out, Returnal got a perfect 10. Imagine mixing rogue-like chaos with big-budget flair. That’s Housemarque’s gift to us. It’s like a familiar-yet-totally-new gameplay universe — keeps you on your toes. Honestly, if you own a PS5 and skip this, what even are you doing?

So, yeah. If that doesn’t entice you enough to check out the sale, then I don’t know what will. Maybe go get a coffee, mull it over. Or don’t. Your call.
