Ghost of Yotei Gets Its First Major Discount for PS5

PlayStation just launched a brand new sale on everything PS5, and it's genuinely got some excellent offerings to consider. Of which, a clear standout is Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei, which was released to high critical acclaim in October last year.

The game is down to $49.99 in the sale, which is a $20 saving, and its first major discount since release.

For now, the deal is only on physical copies of Ghost of Yotei, so it'll require buyers to own a PS5 with a compatible disc drive.

Those looking to pick up the game can do so from PlayStation's dedicated online store, PlayStation Direct. The promotional sale is running until March 9, so there's a limited time left in which to secure the offer as well.

Other notable games in the sale include Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition and God of War Ragnarok for $20, alongside Death Stranding 2 for $50, Spider-Man 2 for $30, and Stellar Blade for $40.

We had high praise for Ghost of Yotei in our review, awarding it an 8/10. Reviewer Michael Higham had this to say about the game: "A predictable but well-executed story takes you through Ghost of Yotei's gorgeous landscapes and satisfying, fluid action combat."

"With a new protagonist in Atsu as a vigilante who does not care about honor in her quest for revenge, you get a stronger lead character and an expanded weapon-set that elevates the gameplay principles set by Tsushima."

"Although the novelty has lost a bit of its sheen, the Kurosawa influence is still strong and used to great effect. So while it may not be transforming open world games, Ghost of Yotei is a great refinement of the samurai power fantasy."

Developer Sucker Punch has also recently announced Ghost of Yotei: Legends, an upcoming free DLC for the studio's hit 2025 open-world action-adventure.

PlayStation is Having a Big Sale on PS5 Games, Accessories and More at PS Direct This Week

PlayStation just launched a brand new sale on its online store in the US, and it includes some of the best deals and discounts we've seen for PS5 since Black Friday. The sale runs until March 9, and includes a wide variety of offers to check out across games, accessories, and more.

Standout inclusions are $20 off physical copies of Ghost of Yotei, its first major discount since release, alongside the limited edition Death Stranding 2 DualSense Controller, which has also secured a $20 discount.

Some other highlights include the complete edition of Horizon Forbidden West for $20 (physical copy), which is an amazing deal, especially since this includes all the add-on content, such as the Burning Shores story expansion that picks up where the main game left off.

That expansion costs $20 alone, so if you've been playing via PS Plus, it's massively beneficial for you to now own the full game and DLC as a single purchase.

That's not the only fantastic game down to $20 either, as you can also score God of War Ragnarok with an almighty $50 discount. Both of these are down to their Black Friday pricing from last year, and well worth considering.

I'd also recommend Spider-Man 2, down to just $30, and $40 off, alongside Death Stranding 2 for $50 and Stellar Blade for $40. Astro Bot is also down to its lowest price ever at $32.99 via Amazon right now. Note, these are all physical copies that have been discounted, so ensure you've got the PS5 disc drive to take advantage of the discounts (I'm looking at you, PS5 Pro owners).

Besides games, my next best pick is up to 50% off select PS5 console covers, with the Midnight Black slim covers and other standard colorways down to $39, and the Colbalt Blue slim covers down to just $44. That's a significant drop from the usual $54-59. You can also save $100 on PlayStation VR2, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei Collector's Editions.

Just to top things off, there's also $100 off PS5 consoles in the form of the ongoing Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle (which first featured over Black Friday/Holiday sales last year), and up to $150 saving on Certified Refurbished PlayStation consoles, controllers, and more. My favorite from this offering is definitely on the DualSense Edge Controller, which you can score for $169.

That's Black Friday level pricing, even if it is a refurbished deal, I guarantee you won't be able to tell the difference, and it just makes things all the more affordable in a difficult and expensive time to be a gamer. But, it's worth noting that the certified refurbished deals are an ongoing offer at PS Direct, so they won't expire once the official promo period ends on March 9. PlayStation, and myself, are simply highlighting them during the sale.

Moreover, as mentioned, $100 off PS5 consoles is another great deal, but it is also another ongoing promotion that has been going since the end of last year. It's still a limited edition console, and a great deal at that, but not something that is specific to this particular sale. Still, I wanted to include it, as it's still a tidy offering, and worth considering if you're in the market for a new console, perhaps to even play GTA 6 later this year.

PlayStation's new sale is fairly extensive, and the best deals we've seen on physical games since November last year, and in some cases the deals are even better. There's plenty more offers to check out in the sale right now, with several other games discounted that I haven't mentioned, so be sure to check out the full sale in case I've missed anything important to you.
