15 PS5 and PS4 Dealmania bargains I can’t believe are this cheap right now

Dealmania’s last-chance bargains: how this list works

Dealmania on the PlayStation Store is one of those sales that quietly sneaks up, then suddenly you realise there are thousands of discounted PS5 and PS4 titles and only a couple of days left to decide. This particular promotion is scheduled to wrap up on 11 March 2026 on most stores, with some European storefronts listing deals into the 12th – but it’s safest to assume the 11th and plan accordingly.

To cut through the noise, this guide narrows things down to 15 discounts that are actually worth caring about. Every pick here has scored at least 7/10 from Push Square, is discounted as part of Dealmania at the time of writing, and offers either outstanding value for money, a definitive version of a classic, or a “how is this already so cheap?” price on a modern heavyweight. Prices and percentages are pulled from the US and UK PS Stores (they may vary a little in other regions).

Think of this as a last-minute shopping list: a mix of huge first-party epics, cult favourites, and older gems that have finally hit true impulse-buy territory. If your backlog is already groaning, these are the games that still deserve to jump the queue.

1. Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut – the samurai epic steal

Dealmania price: $19.79 / £25.19 (approx. 58-67% off)

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut being under twenty bucks on PS5 is the kind of deal that makes the whole sale worth checking. This is the definitive version of Sucker Punch’s open-world samurai adventure, packing in the base game, the Iki Island expansion, and all the PS5 bells and whistles: sharp resolution, fast loading, and DualSense haptics that make every sword clash feel weighty. The core experience still stands out years later – riding across golden fields, following foxes to hidden shrines, and duelling bandits at sunset never really gets old.

What makes this such a strong Dealmania pick is the sheer amount of high-quality content for the price. The main campaign alone can stretch 30–40 hours, and Iki Island adds a chunky side story that digs deeper into Jin’s past. Then there’s Legends, the surprisingly deep co-op mode that can swallow evenings all by itself. Open-world fatigue is real, but Tsushima’s map design, fluid combat, and stylish presentation keep it from turning into a checklist slog. At this price, anyone remotely curious about samurai cinema-inspired action should treat this as an easy yes.

2. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – a massive modern JRPG for peanuts

Dealmania price: $20.99 / £17.99 (70% off)

Seeing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth already slashed by 70% is wild. This is one of the biggest, densest JRPGs of the last few years, a globe-trotting adventure that sends Ichiban and Kiryu to Hawaii while still making time to revisit series staples like Kamurocho. Push Square calls it the series’ best yet, with the strongest turn-based combat, the biggest cast, and a genuinely gripping main story. It’s not a short ride either; between the main plot, substories, and absurd side activities, this is easily a triple-digit-hour timesink if you let it be.

The key selling point during Dealmania is value-per-hour. For roughly twenty dollars or less than twenty quid, you’re getting a fully modern JRPG with high production values, two iconic protagonists sharing the spotlight, and a turn-based battle system that actually encourages creative positioning and job setups rather than sticking to autopilot. It’s also approachable even if you haven’t played every previous Yakuza game, thanks to smart recaps and self-contained arcs. If there’s room in the budget for just one gigantic RPG from this sale, Infinite Wealth is hard to ignore.

3. Horizon Forbidden West – a blockbuster open world at mid-price

Dealmania price: $29.99 / £26.99 (40% off)

Horizon Forbidden West sits at that sweet spot where a game is still visually cutting-edge but finally affordable enough to recommend without caveats. For around thirty dollars, you’re getting a sprawling open-world RPG that seriously levels up almost every part of Horizon Zero Dawn: more varied biomes, a better melee system, new traversal tricks like the Shieldwing glider and Pullcaster, and far more interesting side characters for Aloy to bounce off.

What makes it stand out in Dealmania is how well it serves both PS4 and PS5 owners. On PS5 it’s pure showcase material – dense foliage, towering robo-creatures, and a rock-solid performance mode – but the PS4 version is still impressively stable for a game this ambitious. This isn’t the deepest RPG in terms of build-crafting, yet the combat sandbox remains excellent, letting you mix traps, elemental ammo, and abilities to pick apart machines piece by piece. It’s a longer, more indulgent pick than some of the cheaper bargains here, but if you want one “big Sony epic” from this sale, Forbidden West is a very safe buy.

4. Bloodborne – gothic horror perfection for a tenner

Dealmania price: $9.99 / £7.99 (50% off)

Bloodborne being under ten dollars during Dealmania feels almost disrespectful to how important this game is. FromSoftware took the methodical Souls formula and cranked the aggression, forcing players to abandon shields and lean into quick dodges, well-timed parries, and that infamous “regain” system where counterattacking claws health back. Yharnam’s twisted streets and its later cosmic horror turn are still unmatched in atmosphere; even now, few games do good, old-fashioned dread as effectively as hunting in the rain under a blood moon.

There are caveats. The lack of a 60fps patch means this is still locked to 30fps, even on PS5, and newcomers should be ready for a very steep difficulty curve. The Old Hunters expansion is also sold separately, so budget extra if you want the full experience. That said, the base game alone is a modern classic, and at this price it might be the single best pound-for-pound purchase in Dealmania for anyone even slightly Souls-curious. If there’s one tough but unforgettable journey to squeeze in before the sale timer hits zero, this is it.

5. Hades – the roguelike that makes “just one more run” dangerous

Dealmania price: $8.74 / £6.99 (65% off)

Hades at around seven quid or under nine dollars is a textbook “you’re out of excuses” deal. Supergiant’s underworld escape loop remains one of the most finely tuned roguelikes around: tight, responsive combat built around a handful of weapons that radically change your playstyle, an absurd variety of boons from the Olympian gods, and a heat system that lets you dial up the challenge in specific ways instead of just suffering through a flat difficulty spike.

What really earns it a Dealmania slot though is how it uses repetition to tell a story instead of letting it become a grind. Every failed run pushes Zagreus’ relationships forward, opens up new dialogue, and gradually fleshes out a cast that somehow makes bickering gods feel grounded. It’s easy to slip into a rhythm of “one more try” and realise hours have evaporated. On PS5 and PS4 it runs beautifully, with quick load times and crisp visuals even though it’s technically a PS4 title. If you want something pick-up-and-play that can live on your SSD permanently, Hades is the obvious bargain.

6. DOOM Eternal – pure FPS adrenaline for less than a takeaway

Dealmania price: $7.99 / £6.99 (80% off)

DOOM Eternal being 80% off is almost comical. This is still one of the most intense first-person shooters available on console, built entirely around push-forward combat: glory kills for health, chainsaw executions for ammo, flamethrower bursts for armour. The moment that rhythm clicks, arenas turn into a violent puzzle where movement and target priority matter as much as aim. It’s demanding in the best way, and a fantastic palate cleanser if you’ve been buried in slower RPGs.

The PS5 upgrade is where it really sings, with multiple graphics modes (including a slick ray-tracing option) and snappy loading that keeps you in the flow. The story is utter nonsense in a deliberately over-the-top way, but id Software knows its audience: the focus here is arena design, enemy variety, and a toolkit that constantly grows without ever losing clarity. Even if you ignore the DLC campaigns, the base game alone offers a meaty, replayable campaign. For the price of a cheap lunch, this is a no-brainer for anyone who still enjoys old-school FPS design filtered through modern tech.

7. Final Fantasy X | X‑2 HD Remaster – two big JRPGs for pocket change

Dealmania price: $9.99 / £9.99 (60% off)

Final Fantasy X | X‑2 HD Remaster is one of the most quietly outrageous value propositions in this sale. For about ten of your local currency units you’re getting two full-length JRPGs plus extra content, all in a single package that has aged surprisingly well. Final Fantasy X remains a landmark: an emotional pilgrimage through Spira, a superb conditional turn-based battle system where turn order manipulation actually matters, and a soundtrack that still hits hard decades on.

X‑2 is a different beast – far campier, with a tone that sometimes feels like fan fiction – but underneath the J‑pop gloss sits one of the series’ most flexible job systems. The remaster bundles in the International content, extra dresspheres, and additional scenarios, so there’s a lot to chew through if you’re the type who loves min-maxing and secret hunting. Some cutscene pacing and voice work definitely show their age, yet at this price the package is almost impossible not to recommend to anyone with even a passing interest in classic Final Fantasy.

8. AI: The Somnium Files – a wildly clever mystery for under $4

AI: The Somnium Files – a wildly clever mystery for under $4 – trailer / artwork

Dealmania price: $3.99 / £3.19 (80% off)

AI: The Somnium Files is the quintessential “trust me, stick with it” visual novel, and Dealmania’s 80% discount makes that leap of faith much easier. Directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi of Zero Escape fame, it starts as a fairly grounded murder investigation and gradually spirals into something far stranger and more ambitious. The hook is the Somnium sections, dreamlike puzzle sequences where you dive into characters’ subconscious minds and manipulate bizarre environments under tight time pressure.

It takes a few hours for the story to really bare its teeth, but once the branching routes and character arcs start clicking, it becomes difficult to put down. The cast is a brilliant mix of genuinely layered figures and delightfully idiotic comic relief, and the way it juggles tones without collapsing is impressive. This is very text-heavy, and people who bounce off visual novels probably won’t be converted, but for the price of a coffee it’s one of the smartest, most memorable narratives on PS4 – and plays perfectly fine on PS5 through backward compatibility.

9. Blasphemous 2 – brutal, beautiful Metroidvania refinement

Dealmania price: $9.89 / £8.24 (67% off)

Blasphemous 2 is the rare sequel that genuinely earns its place, and Dealmania’s hefty discount makes it an easy recommendation for anyone who bounced off the original’s rough edges. The Penitent One’s second outing keeps the baroque, religious horror aesthetic and intricate pixel art, but tightens almost everything else: combat is faster and more responsive, platforming is less sadistic thanks to dialing back instant-death pitfalls, and the world is packed with secrets that feel rewarding rather than obscure for the sake of it.

The three main weapons open up very different approaches to both exploration and boss fights, and the way new abilities fold back into previously visited areas nails that classic Metroidvania “oh, now this makes sense” feeling. It’s still a challenging game, and some of the lore remains intentionally opaque, but the level of polish is much higher this time around. For under ten dollars, you’re getting a dense, atmospheric 2D adventure that more than holds its own alongside the genre’s big names.

10. Axiom Verge – a modern retro classic at a throwaway price

Dealmania price: $4.99 / £3.74 (75% off)

Axiom Verge has been quietly sitting near the top of the indie Metroidvania pile for years, and Dealmania’s 75% cut turns it into one of the best budget buys on PS Store. On the surface it’s an obvious homage to classic Metroid: lonely sci-fi corridors, alien fauna, and a map that slowly unfurls as new tools are acquired. But the further in you get, the more it leans into glitchy weirdness, with weapons and abilities that literally break and rewrite the world around you.

What makes it endure is how confident it feels despite being a solo-dev project. The controls are tight, secrets are cleverly hidden without being impossible, and the soundtrack sells the eerie, digital decay vibe perfectly. It’s not as flashy or forgiving as some newer takes on the genre, but that actually works in its favour; it feels like an unearthed 16-bit classic that just happens to run at crisp modern resolutions. For the cost of a snack, you’re getting a substantial, cleverly designed adventure that still feels essential if you like exploration-heavy side scrollers.

11. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – immersive sim depth for under $5

Dealmania price: $4.49 / £3.74 (85% off)

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had a rough time on release, with criticism aimed at its chopped-off-feeling story and awkward microtransaction hooks. Fast forward to Dealmania 2026, and those issues are far easier to swallow when the game is going for less than five dollars. Underneath the baggage is a fantastic immersive sim: dense hubs full of side entrances and vents to crawl through, satisfying hacking, and a suite of augmentations that allow for stealthy ghost runs, aggressive shootouts, or a hybrid approach.

Prague in particular is one of the most convincing sci-fi city sandboxes of the last generation, with layered vertical spaces and side missions that often outshine the main plot beats. The narrative still ends more abruptly than it should – a consequence of plans for sequels that never materialised – but the journey to that point is absolutely worth experiencing, especially at this price. If you’ve been missing the “go anywhere, hack everything” style of design, Mankind Divided is a cheap way to get a fix.

12. DmC: Devil May Cry – Definitive Edition – divisive, but brilliant at $9.99

Dealmania price: $9.99 / £8.74 (75% off)

DmC: Devil May Cry will probably always divide the fanbase thanks to its edgy tone and rebooted take on Dante, but judged purely as an action game, the Definitive Edition is phenomenal – and Dealmania’s price makes it much easier to approach with an open mind. Ninja Theory’s combat system is fluid and expressive, with weapon switching on the fly, enemies tuned to push you into mixing up your arsenal, and a scoring system that rewards creativity rather than rote repetition.

The Definitive Edition fixes most of the original’s technical issues, targeting 60fps on PS4 and adding options like Turbo Mode and manual lock-on that appeal to series purists. Level design leans into surreal, shifting environments that keep encounters visually interesting, even when the writing isn’t to everyone’s taste. For around ten dollars, this is a generous package with plenty of challenge modes and higher difficulties to master. If you can accept that this is its own spin on Devil May Cry rather than a replacement, it’s one of the sale’s best action picks.

13. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake – a short, emotional punch

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake – a short, emotional punch – trailer / artwork

Dealmania price: $7.99 / £6.39 (60% off)

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was already a standout in the indie canon, and the Remake gives it a fresh coat of paint and a newly recorded score while preserving the core idea: one controller, two brothers, each mapped to a different analogue stick. That control scheme is more than a gimmick; it’s central to how the story lands, turning simple environmental puzzles into moments of quiet cooperation between the siblings. Even with some of the industry catching up on narrative experimentation since the original, the structure here still feels unique.

The remake isn’t flawless. Co-op support is a thoughtful accessibility addition but can undercut the intended feel of juggling both characters yourself, and there are some technical hiccups that stop it from feeling truly “next-gen.” Still, Dealmania’s discount drops it into that perfect evening-long experience bracket: a three-to-four-hour journey that doesn’t overstay its welcome and builds to one of the more memorable climaxes in modern games. If you’re in the mood for something heartfelt rather than endlessly replayable, this is the narrative pick to grab before the sale ends.

14. Grounded – backyard survival that shines in co-op

Dealmania price: $19.99 / £16.49 (50% off)

Grounded takes the classic “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” premise and runs with it, dropping you into a suburban backyard that becomes a full-on survival sandbox once you’re insect-sized. Half the game is just drinking in the sense of scale – blades of grass as towering trees, juice boxes as resource nodes – and the other half is trying not to be instantly murdered by spiders. You’ll be gathering materials, managing hunger and thirst, and slowly turning makeshift lean-tos into surprisingly elaborate bases.

Where it really comes alive is in co-op. Exploring new corners of the yard while one player distracts a ladybird and another hauls resources back to camp feels genuinely adventurous, and the game strikes a nice balance between approachable crafting and real threat from the local wildlife. The story framing is light but gives just enough context to keep you moving towards new areas and labs. At half price during Dealmania, it’s a strong pick for groups looking for a long-term co-op project that isn’t just another zombie survival game.

15. inFAMOUS: First Light – compact superhero chaos for under $8

inFAMOUS: First Light – compact superhero chaos for under $8 – trailer / artwork

Dealmania price: $7.49 / £5.99 (50% off)

inFAMOUS: First Light is proof that not every open-world superhero experience needs to be a 40-hour commitment. This standalone spin-off from inFAMOUS Second Son focuses on Fetch and her neon powers, condensing the formula into a brisk campaign set in a stylised Seattle. By honing in on one ability set, the designers were able to push the traversal and combat to feel especially slick – zipping across rooftops in neon streaks and juggling enemies in glowing slow-mo never really loses its charm.

The story is relatively lean but does a solid job of fleshing out a character who was already a highlight in Second Son, and the bundled arena challenges add a surprising amount of replayability if you enjoy chasing high scores. Because it’s short, it also fits neatly into a busy schedule: you can knock out the main narrative over a weekend and still feel like you’ve had a full superhero arc. At half price in Dealmania, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a stylish action fix without committing to a massive new sandbox.

Dealmania wrap-up: how to prioritise before the timer hits zero

Dealmania is one of those sales where it’s tempting to grab everything that looks vaguely interesting, but a bit of focus goes a long way. If you want huge, prestige experiences that justify dozens of hours, start with Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Horizon Forbidden West. For shorter, sharper hits, Hades, DOOM Eternal, and inFAMOUS: First Light cover roguelike, shooter, and superhero cravings between them.

Prices can shift and regional end dates for Dealmania aren’t perfectly aligned, so it’s worth double-checking your local store and aiming to buy before 11 March 2026 to be safe. However you slice it, these fifteen standouts are the discounts that genuinely feel like opportunities rather than just more backlog padding.
