PS Store Offers Early Sale on 2025’s Top-Selling PS5 Game

The other day, I was flipping through some deals on the PlayStation Store, probably trying to avoid getting sucked into buying yet another game. So, guess what? They’ve decided to kick off Gamescom 2025 a bit early this year with some pretty cool discounts. Smart? Probably. Tempting? Definitely.

Anyway—wait, did I even mention what game I got sidetracked by? Right, it’s Monster Hunter Wilds. Yeah, the latest from Capcom. They’re practically giving it away with this 20% off thing. Normally, I’m looking at $69.99, but now it’s like $55.99. If you’re on PS5 and you don’t jump on this, what are you doing? But, heads up, this deal is gone faster than my willpower near pizza. We’re talking August 28th at 2:59 a.m. PT. Weirdly precise, right?

Oh, and here’s a fun snippet—or not, but I’ll share it anyway—from the PS Store: “The unbridled force of nature runs wild and relentless…” yada yada. Basically, it’s humans vs. monsters, which probably won’t surprise anyone familiar with the franchise. You’re hunting these mega-beasts and crafting gear from their carcasses. Somehow, that description spins it all poetic-like, but my brain was just picturing big creatures smashing stuff.

Now, if you’re like me and think, “Hey, can I get even more out of this?” then behold—the Deluxe Edition also got a price cut. It’s $71.99 down from $89.99. And there’s the Premium Deluxe, which throws in more goodies, marked down to $92.49 from $109.99. Feels like a buffet of game content, if you ask me.

This thing hit the shelves earlier this year, if memory serves. Critics seem to love it, Metacritic’s got it at an 88, and even the folks at ComingSoon.net gave it a solid 9.5. My takeaway? It’s probably worth the hype, though maybe that’s just me justifying another late-night purchase. Anyway—did I forget anything? Who knows.aj.
