Josh has been playing video games for longer than he can remember, kicking things off with a Master System before upgrading to a Mega Drive. Covering the industry since 2018, if a game has a strong story – or even better, the decisions you make determine the course of that story – odds are he’s going to like it. Or, you know, put Sonic or Pikachu on the cover and that’ll get his attention too.
Christmas Day is in the rearview mirror for another year, and if you’re reading this instead of playing all the cool new games you received, I can assume one of two things. Either you didn’t get the games you wanted, or you were showered with PlayStation gift cards that are already burning a hole in your festive pocket.
If it’s either or both of those things, or you simply want to buy some new games for less, you’ve come to the right place. It might still be December for a few more days, but the PlayStation Store’s January sale is already in full swing. More than 3,500 games have had their prices cut to mark the occasion, so there’s almost certainly something in there for you, for less.

Let’s get the big one out of the way first because if you haven’t played this, then your 2025 remains incomplete – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The Game of the Year, and probably the game everyone in your life has been nagging you to play for months. Well, time to cash in while it’s on sale. Down to $39.99 from now until January 8, 2026, I cannot stress to you enough the quality of the game you’re getting for that price.

Xbox had a big year on PlayStation in 2025, and it looks set to continue that trend in 2026 (Halo on PS5, anyone?).
