As has become something of a tradition for digital video game storefronts, the PlayStation Holiday Sale has just started on December 22, and will last through January 19. Players will want to pay attention when visiting the PlayStation Store, though, since some deals won't last for the entire event. Below is a list of all the PlayStation Holiday Sale's best deals, with steep discounts resulting in affordable prices, with a separate list for new games that released in 2021.

The list is comprised of full game releases only, and add-ons, expansions, or DLC cosmetics have been filtered out. The exception to this would be deluxe or game of the year editions, in which the base games are bundled with their post-launch content (except for Sekiro, which only got free updates). Additionally, a sale had to be at least a 40% discount to qualify (though some more popular games that didn't meet that criteria are noted under the new games section), but there are some with an even steeper discount for PlayStation Plus subscribers.

Every sale price is rounded to the nearest dollar for the sake of convenience, with the discount percentage listed as well. Exact prices, every deal, and the date when each individual discount ends can be found on the PlayStation Store's Holiday Sale page. There are thousands of deals total, with a helpful section that lists only games under $20 for those that keep themselves to a strict gaming budget. All of the wheat has been separated from the chaff below, however, with notable games on sale from 2021 getting their own section - all listed in alphabetical order.

Best PlayStation Holiday Deals On New Games

Best deals on PlayStation Holiday Sale games from 2021

Unfortunately, most of the really steep deals are on games from years past, but there are a handful of 2021 releases with particularly good prices for within a year of launch. Game of the Year winner It Takes Two is a notable new title on the list, being marked half off. Deathloop, Far Cry 6Final Fantasy VII Remake IntergradeMass Effect Legendary Edition, and Resident Evil Village are all surprising inclusions each exceeding a 40% discount. It should also be noted that Skyrim is not technically new (far from it), but the Anniversary Edition has a bunch of content from Bethesda's Creation Club. The Anniversary Edition Upgrade, which is available to those who own the Skyrim Special Edition, is also discounted during the Holiday Sale.

Since they are some of the biggest releases as of late, it should also be mentioned that games such as Battlefield 2042Call of Duty: Vanguard, the Directors' Cuts for Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima, Kena: Bridge of SpiritsMarvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and the best-selling Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are all included in the PlayStation Holiday Sale, but their sales do not meet the 40% off minimum.

Best PlayStation Holiday Sale Price Cuts

The best deals offered in the 2021 PlayStation Holiday Sale

Deciding the "best" deals is hardly a science, so the following is largely made up of recognizable games, including a handful of notable indie titles, such as the short but incredible Untitled Goose GameBastion, and LIMBO. There are also a few games below that are fairly recent, but didn't quite make the 2021 cutoff for "new" games. These include Assassin's Creed ValhallaImmortals Fenyx Rising, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Watch Dogs: Legion, which all came out near the end of 2020.

There are also a few bundles on the list which have their individual games on sale as well. The separate games were omitted since the bundle is definitely the better deal, but anyone looking to grab and individual Tomb RaiderWolfenstein, or Metro game can find them discounted on the PlayStation Store. Similarly, there's a few multiplayer-focused games - including Battlefield 41, and V - which are only listed under their definitive, all-DLC-included versions, though the base games are also a part of the Holiday Sale.
