The world keeps spinning, and that means yet another new sale on the PS Store. The latest offer is titled Mid-Year Deals, and it runs from now until 3rd July 2025.
As usual, it features thousands of discounts across PS5 and PS4. In order to help you find the cream of the crop, we've put together a list of recommendations.
All games featured here comes with at least a 7/10 from Push Square, and they're all at their lowest respective price points, some of which are lower than ever.
Without further ado, let's get to the list!
11-11: Memories Retold (PS4)
$4.49/£2.99 (-85%)
11-11: Memories Retold is an immersive, beautiful, and emotionally charged game. It’s at its best when it functions as a playable film, with you making the major decisions. Where it falls down is in its clunky gameplay and story beats that are locked behind secret item collection. However, the strong celebrity performances and engaging story more than make up for this and create a really unique experience that is both thought provoking and enjoyable. As the subtlest World War game ever made, there’s nothing more appropriate to play to commemorate the signing of the Armistice.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4)
$9.59/£6.99 (-84%/-86%)
Ace Combat flies under the radar, but it's a fantastic series that deserves recognition. The latest of these arcadey fighter jet games, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, is right up there with the best entries, offering up an earnest wartime tale that has you smoking bogeys like Tom Cruise. The smooth controls and great visuals make it a pleasure to engage in dogfights amid the clouds. The campaign is great, but on top of that is a decent online multiplayer mode and optional PSVR missions, which are staggeringly good — if you have the stomach for them.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition (PS5)
$31.99/£23.99 (-20%)
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is a wonderful example of modernising a classic game, providing new quality of life features and a fresh coat of paint while retaining its original feel. For hardcore RTS fans who are itching to pick something new up this is a must buy, and an adaptable AI difficulty level means there’s something for everyone.
Anno 1800 Console Edition (PS5)
$11.99/£10.49 (-70%)
With an emphasis on city building, Anno 1800 is a slightly different take on real-time strategy. You'll be tasked mainly with managing resources as you gradually build up a town from nothing. It's all about investing in new buildings, trading goods, and keeping your citizens happy. It's a deep and complicated game, but a more laid-back one than others on this list, if you're after something a bit lighter.
Arizona Sunshine 2 (PS5)
$21.99/£18.14 (-45%)
Despite some technical letdowns, Arizona Sunshine 2 is still a joyous celebration of zombie brain-bashing. It features some of the best VR shooting on the market, with a reload mechanic that is incredibly satisfying and really brings to light what makes the platform so great in the first place. As a sequel, it improves graphically, narratively, and just controls a whole lot better. With a solid campaign offering, various difficulties, and a horde mode with more maps to come, Arizona Sunshine 2 is the full VR package — and an absolute must-buy for PSVR2 players.
Assassin's Creed Mirage (PS5)
$19.99/£17.99 (-60%)
Something of a spin-off title, Assassin's Creed Mirage puts you in the dusty shoes of Basim, who you may remember from Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The story follows Basim's early ascendance through the Hidden Ones, as he learns the ins and outs of being an assassin. A smaller, but suitably dense sandbox map revives the art of parkour, and the game as a whole tries to emulate that traditional Assassin's Creed formula — with varying degrees of success. A solid return to stealth overall.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PS5)
$23.09/£23.09 (-67%)
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora translates James Cameron's hugely successful movie franchise into an open world action adventure, and it works rather well. Playing in first-person, you explore the gorgeous world of Pandora, realised here in stunning detail. The gameplay is broadly what you'd expect, with simple combat, light crafting, and engaging exploration all working to put you in a Na'vi's shoes. For fans of the franchise, this is a great interactive iteration.
Black Myth: Wukong (PS5)
$47.99/£43.99 (-20%)
Black Myth: Wukong looked almost impossibly impressive in the lead-up to its launch, and in some ways it definitely delivers. Rewarding progression, nimble combat, and dozens of larger-than-life boss fights makes this an entertaining action game that rivals the genre's best. While some aspects of its design hold it back from being truly great, it's a staggeringly good effort from developer Game Science that has us very excited for the follow-up.
Call of Duty: Vanguard (PS4)
$23.99/£23.99 (-60%)
Call of Duty: Vanguard does very little to shake up the status quo of Call of Duty multiplayer, but what it does have going for it is a ton of maps, modes, weapons, and general content. It's packed to the rafters with things to see and do in online skirmishes, and the single player campaign is pretty darn good too. Zombies fans should avoid until some post-launch updates come around, but for anyone wanting to battle it out online with friends, there's not a lot better than Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (PS5)
$19.99/£15.99 (-20%)
Building on the original in some smart ways, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a bigger, better RPG. Telling a truly compelling, character-led tale in a sombre sci-fi universe, the game's unique dice system forces you to take considered risks with every action. You'll explore various locations, all with many characters to meet and choices to make, and tough side missions flesh out an otherwise linear story. If you don't mind a text-heavy game, this delivers an engrossing adventure.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS5)
$19.79/£19.79 (-67%)
Crash Bandicoot is one of PlayStation’s most iconic platforming heroes, and now that he’s double-jumped onto PS5, there’s no excuse for skipping Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time. This sequel stays true to the series’ origins, but it’s bursting with brand new ideas and jaw-dropping set-piece moments. Running at a flawless 60 frames-per-second in sparkling 4K resolution — and cutting those load times to almost nothing — this release is at its absolute best on Sony’s next-gen console.

Very tempted to grab Dragon's Dogma 2 for that price. How's the performance on the base PS5 these days?
@Shigurui Unfortunately I can't confirm on base console. On Pro last time I checked it was vastly improved.
Even when it was unoptimised the issues and stutters were only really when you were in the major towns but I remember playing approx 6 months after release with little to no issues and there have been a slew of patches since so go for it!
I've still yet to play a ton of RPGs/open world action games but it's my second favourite game of all time behind Elden Ring
After reading all these
recommendations i went and got Xenocrisis, not on the list 😃
Not in the list but I just bought Slave Zero X for 5 bucks. The game is pretty fast and quite challenging but i had a blast.
To describe the game, it's like Guilty Gear gameplay with 90's biopunk manga aesthetics in a 2D side scrolling hack & slash where you can combos, air juggle combos, parry, dodge, run slide, special moves, and ex moves.
The game has nice 2D sprite characters with PS1 graphic background aesthetics. Oh and it's pretty gory too.
The only cons for me is the loading time can be a bit long and the UI are very minimalist, like a PS1 game haha.
I reccomend the game for people who just wants to hack & slash with Guilty Gear gameplay and 90's biopunk manga vibe. Here's a short video that showed the gameplay

With Sony largely pushing the same games in consecutive sales, it means PushSquare can usually recycle the same "Games you should buy..." article! 😂
