Presidents’ Day sales are here — and if Sony’s big State of Play presentation last week has you hyped to break out your PlayStation 5, I have some good news. Retailers are slashing prices on some of the best PS5 games this Presidents’ Day weekend, with digital titles starting at just $1 on the PlayStation Store.
Right now you can save big on a ton of must-play PS5 games from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition at Best Buy and Amazon. Granted, this likely won’t be the strongest PlayStation sale we’ll see this year, and discounts on the PlayStation 5 console itself are disappointedly few and far between, but there are plenty of worthwhile deals out there to build out your library on the cheap. My favorite deal has to be Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for $19 at Amazon, an amazingly low price for one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory.
There are scores of epic PS5 game deals to be had, so read on for our top picks. If the Switch is more your speed, be sure to check out our round-up of the best Nintendo Switch Presidents’ Day deals.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is arguably the best Star Wars media in years. Playing once again as Jedi in hiding Cal Kestis on the run from Sith inquisitors, this galaxy-spanning third-person action-adventure game combines satisfying lightsaber combat with rewarding exploration and also packs a highly cinematic story that will thrill Star Wars fans both new and old.
Step back into the space boots of Isaac Clarke in this remake of the legendary sci-fi survival horror, Dead Space. The USG Ishimura has been overrun with nightmarish enemies, and it’s your job to discover the source of the outbreak while trying to keep your sanity in check. You’ll need to conserve your resources by strategically dismembering enemies.
One of the best-selling sports games around for very good reason, NBA 2K25 is packed with teams and modes and looks staggeringly good on the PS5 – particularly PS5 Pro. This latest version of the popular basketball sim has dropped to $24, so now is the time to get on the court. Price check: $24 @ Amazon
After more than a decade of waiting, EA returned to the world of NCAA football in the appropriately titled College Football 25. And this simulation of college football was worth the weight. Offering a slightly more arcade-style pace than its Madden sibling, and letting you play as the biggest schools in the country, it lived up to all those years of anticipated.
The latest entry in EA’s long-running Madden series offers several improvements that dedicated fans of the annual sports franchise have requested for years, like improved on-field action, better UI, more realistic AI for rival teams, and more. It’s also probably the only way I’ll ever see the Chargers win a Super Bowl!
Enjoy the acclaimed Metal Gear Solid franchise from the very start in this first installment in the Master Collection series. This package offers strong value, containing Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, along with the original two Metal Gear games and a host of supplemental content, including digital art collections and novels. It is the perfect package for veteran MGS fans or newcomers to the storied franchise.
Pitched as a return to the franchise’s roots, Assassin’s Creed Mirage ditches the RPG bloat of the most recent AC games in the form of a smaller, more focused experience. You play Basim, a petty thief turned master assassin in 9th-century Baghdad. With a vibrant city to explore and a list of targets to eliminate, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is exactly what the series needed after the overwhelming scale of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
One of 2023’s most pleasant surprises, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora doesn’t switch up the Ubisoft open-world formula seen in games like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. But the alien setting of Pandora makes everything feel brand new, and it’s one of the most visually impressive games on PS5. Even if you’re not enamored with the Avatar movies, you might be surprised by this one.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart sees PlayStation’s iconic intergalactic mascots go on their wildest adventure yet. Both Ratchet and Clank are playable, as well as a brand new character, Rivet. The game plays in gorgeous 4K at 60 fps thanks to the power of the PS5, and really takes advantage of the console’s full next-gen capabilities.
Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011’s Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It’s a strong package, and it’s perfectly timed ahead of the theatrical release of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.
Star Wars Outlaws represents a new frontier for a Galaxy far, far away as it’s the first-ever open-world game set in the iconic sci-fi universe. You p
