PlayStation physical game sale goes live on Amazon and Best Buy amid outrage over end of physical discs

Sony's decision to stop releasing physical PlayStation games starting in 2028 has sparked major backlash from the gaming community. Many fans have criticized the move, with some even canceling their PlayStation Plus memberships in protest. Despite the ongoing criticism, Sony has shown no signs of reversing its decision. And amid all of this, several physical PlayStation games are now available at discounted prices through Amazon and Best Buy.

The sale is currently live on both retailers and includes a range of first-party PlayStation titles. The discounts are also fairly generous, making it a good opportunity for players who prefer owning boxed copies of their games. Some of the standout deals include:

• Saros (PS5) - 29% off on Amazon
• God of War Ragnarök (PS5) - 57% off on Amazon
• Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition (PS5) - 34% off on Amazon
• Stellar Blade (PS5) - 43% off on Amazon
• Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (PS5) - 60% off on Best Buy
• Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (PS5) - 57% off on Best Buy 

If you prefer buying games digitally instead, Sony is also running the PlayStation Store Summer Sale. The promotion includes hundreds of games with discounts of up to 75% off across a wide range of genres. Sony will also refresh the sale with a new batch of deals today, July 27, giving players even more options to choose from. However, do keep in mind that the Summer Sale is live until August 12, so you have a few weeks to enjoy the discounts.
