PlayStation’s Direct store is holding a huge sale on PS5 games, accessories, and more, helping you fill out the gaps in your collection, and one of the big beneficiaries of this is Kratos himself.
God of War’s latest mainline entry, God of War Ragnarok, has been discounted by a whopping 71% at PlayStation Direct, dropping to just $19.99, while Best Buy is matching the price as well.
That’s $50 in savings, and well worth picking up over playing via PlayStation Plus (at least in my opinion), especially if you want to take your sweet time with what is a genuine masterpiece.
The game picks up after the events of the 2018 reboot of the series, which took Kratos from Greek mythology to his new life, where he’s raising his son, Atreus. After revelations about the place of both in the wider pantheon, Ragnarok is packed with unforgettable moments.
In IGN’s review, Simon Cardy awarded the game a 10/10, calling it an “enthralling spectacle to behold”.
“Impeccable writing, pitch-perfect performances, knockout action – it’s a complete work of art from top to bottom. Reflecting its core themes, it’s everything a sequel should be: respectful of its legendary lineage, but not afraid to take it to exciting new places.”
Couldn’t have put it better myself, and now’s a great time to jump on board ahead of the remake of the Ghost of Sparta’s earliest adventures, which were recently confirmed to be in development (but are likely some ways off yet).
Kratos isn’t alone, either. Other discounts include almost 30% off of 2025’s Ghost of Yotei, essentially marking its first sizeable discount, as well as deals on the likes of Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Spider-Man 2, and many more.
There are even controllers on sale, including the limited Death Stranding 2 pad – but you’ll likely want to move fast for that one.
