More and more Tarnished will get to experience walking through the Lands Between. Kicking off the Winter Sales is PlayStation and Sony which runs from now up until June 12, 2025.

The Elden Ring Sale
Elden Ringis definitely one to look out for. Some would argue that even its base price of $59.99 would be too good a value, let alone the new sale price of $42. We gave the game a 9.5 in ourElden Ring Reviewback in February. It is definitely one of FromSoftware’s crowning achievements, and it would be difficult to fathom the team making an even better game.
Many found the game to be a cultural phenomenon, one that sparked much discussion, debates, camaraderie (in the form of the helpful player “Let Me Solo Her”), and more. Tons of people who were never even interested in the Soulslike Genre got pulled into it (myself included) due to the hype and curiosity.
Starting out inLimgraveis already a memorable moment, the point where the player steps out of the dreary crypt and into the open world. At a glance, the initialmapis not as intimidating as it starts out small. But as you progress, it keeps on expanding and expanding, showing us that we’re truly in for a grand adventure.
Extremebuild diversityand less pressure to killbossesin order were some of the highlights that enticed players. Do you want to play a pure magic caster? Or maybe someone who wields a massivegreatsword? Perhaps something in between? All are options and quite viable in the land of Elden Ring.
The title snagged many awards as well in the recentThe Game Awards 2022. Aside fromGame of the Year, it also received accolades for Art Direction, Best Roleplaying Game, and Best Game Direction. Be sure to also look out for the upcoming Elden RingBoardgame by Steamforged Games!
Other Noteworthy PlayStation Deals
Here are just some other noteworthy deals that we just had to mention. All of the below are prices from PlayStation’s digital storefront.

The Last of Us Part II
The Last of Us Part IIis a harrowing tale told on many fronts. Without revealing too much, it is ajourney of loss, vengeance, and everything in between. While the game’s story can be divisive, it is still an excellent experience in its own right.
This comes right in time as The Last of Us Part I was just recently released and the HBO TV show will be coming in January of 2023. For a mere $9.99, this is a no-brainer.
