PlayStation Store launches Planet of the Deals with hundreds of PS5 and PS4 discounts
PlayStation Store's Planet of the Deals promotion began on October 21, 2026, bringing temporary discounts to hundreds of PS5 and PS4 titles. Sony's selection includes major horror releases, open-world RPGs, strategy games and independent adventures. The campaign is scheduled to end on November 4 in the announced English-language regions, with local timing and individual offer deadlines varying by territory.
Sony has launched another large digital promotion, and this one extends well beyond Halloween horror.
Planet of the Deals covers hundreds of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 games, including major franchises, independent releases, remasters and expanded editions.
The campaign started on October 21. Sony instructs players to check their regional PlayStation Store for the actual discounted prices, because offers and availability can vary between countries.
That distinction matters. A game appearing on the official promotional list confirms its inclusion, but does not establish a single worldwide price or discount percentage.
Silent Hill and Resident Evil headline the horror selection
Silent Hill 2 Deluxe Edition and Silent Hill f Deluxe Edition both feature in Sony's official lineup.
Silent Hill 2 revisits James Sunderland's journey through a fog-covered town after he receives a letter from his deceased wife.
Silent Hill f explores a different setting and approach to psychological horror.
The presence of both editions makes the promotion particularly relevant to players interested in comparing different directions for the franchise.
However, their Deluxe Edition labels should not be overlooked. Buyers need to check exactly which additional content is included rather than assuming every version receives the same discount.
The Resident Evil series is also extensively represented.
Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village and multiple earlier installments appear in the published selection.
The breadth of the lineup creates several possible entry points, from modern releases to older games in the series.
A Plague Tale and Alien: Isolation offer a different kind of tension
A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem are also part of the sale.
The games follow Amicia and Hugo through a dangerous historical setting, combining stealth, exploration and supernatural storytelling.
A regional price roundup published for the German PlayStation Store on October 21 lists Innocence at €7.99, representing an 80% discount, and Requiem at €17.99, representing a 70% reduction.
These are German regional prices, not guaranteed prices for other countries.
Alien: Isolation – The Collection is another notable entry.
Its survival-focused gameplay emphasizes vulnerability and the constant threat of a pursuing alien creature.
The same German roundup lists the collection at €13.74, discounted by 75%.
For players seeking suspense rather than frequent combat, these titles provide alternatives to more action-heavy horror games.
Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield and Indiana Jones expand the selection
Planet of the Deals also features substantial adventure games.
Cyberpunk 2077 offers an open-world RPG experience centered on Night City, character customization, combat and narrative decisions.
Its inclusion comes during a period of renewed attention following CD Projekt RED's announcement of Update 2.5.
A discount on the base game should nevertheless be distinguished from a free software update or separately sold expansion content.
Starfield Premium Edition also appears in the lineup, providing another science-fiction RPG option.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Premium Edition offers a more structured adventure built around exploration, puzzles and cinematic action.
These titles serve different audiences. The most appropriate purchase depends on whether a player prefers urban role-playing, space exploration or a more directed adventure.
Final Fantasy VII and Civilization VII are included
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is part of the official promotion alongside Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and several older entries in the series.
Players unfamiliar with the modern Final Fantasy VII storyline should distinguish the different installments.
Rebirth continues a narrative begun in Remake, making the order of play relevant for anyone interested in following the story from the beginning.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII Deluxe Edition is another significant entry.
Its appeal lies in long-term strategic decisions involving exploration, economic development, diplomacy and warfare.
The campaign also features titles such as Triangle Strategy, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Age of Mythology: Retold.
The selection offers different types of tactical and strategic experiences rather than concentrating exclusively on cinematic action games.
Independent games deserve a closer look
Inscryption, Cult of the Lamb and Dredge are among the independent releases in the promotion.
Inscryption combines card mechanics, puzzles and psychological unease in a game built around unexpected discoveries.
Cult of the Lamb mixes roguelite action with the management of a community of followers.
Dredge offers fishing and maritime exploration with unsettling supernatural elements.
These games may appeal to players who prefer distinctive design concepts rather than enormous campaigns.
Sony's list also includes Return of the Obra Dinn, Blasphemous, Hi-Fi Rush and Slay the Princess – The Pristine Cut.
That variety is useful because price alone does not determine whether a game will suit an individual player.
Deluxe and Premium editions require extra attention
Many entries are advertised under expanded edition names.
Deluxe, Premium, Gold and Complete packages can include additional content, cosmetic items, expansions or several games.
Those labels do not have one universal definition.
A player who already owns the base game may not benefit from buying an entire package again.
It is also important to distinguish a digital purchase from access through PlayStation Plus. A subscription catalog and a discounted retail purchase provide different types of entitlement.
Before completing a transaction, buyers should compare the edition contents, regional price and expiration date shown on the product page.
The campaign ends in early November
Sony's English-language announcement states that Planet of the Deals runs from October 21 until November 4 at 11:59 p.m. in its specified time zones.
The French announcement lists a local deadline of November 5 at 12:59 a.m.
Those different presentations reflect regional timing. Sony also warns that individual offers may end earlier and that game availability can differ between territories.
The safest approach is to verify the deadline attached to the exact product in the relevant PlayStation Store.
Planet of the Deals provides a substantial opportunity to revisit games that players may have postponed.
But the strongest discount is not automatically the best purchase. Edition contents, actual regional pricing and the type of experience a player wants remain more useful considerations than the size of the percentage printed beside a title.
