2019 Game of the Year Contender Now 40% Off on PS Store for PS4 and PS5

Alright, so picture this: It’s summer, my coffee’s already cold, and I’m squinting at the PS Store—because, of course, it’s sale time. Crazy discounts flying around, and hey, maybe your wallet’s already groaning. But trust me, some deals just scream “buy me!” when you see ‘em. Like, Outer Wilds, for instance. Yeah, that game from 2019 you probably heard about more than you heard your own alarm clock. It’s a first-person, open-world thingamajig and was kinda a big deal back in the day.

So, right now, it’s got this nifty 40% off tag on the PS Store, thanks to the digital sale elves, or whoever decides these things. Usual price? $24.99. But nah, they slashed it to $14.99. Not gonna lie, I paused my music for this. Why? Because the deal’s ending faster than mom’s cookies disappear. July 31, 2:59 a.m. ET. Mark it or miss it.

Now, about the game itself, Outer Wilds. Mobius Digital whipped it up and Annapurna Interactive tossed it out into the universe, literally. You play this newbie with Outer Wilds Ventures—fancy name for a space exploration group. You’re just trying to figure out a bunch of cosmic mysteries, like who decided Dark Bramble should be so spooky, or who went all ancient with the lunar architecture. Plus, there’s this endless time loop. Yeah, I know, it’s like Groundhog Day in space. Weird but kind of fun.

Oh! Almost forgot, if Outer Wilds hooks you—and it might—you can even snatch the DLC, Echoes of the Eye. They knocked the price down to $9.89 from the usual $14.99. I didn’t do the math, but yeah, it’s 34% off. Sweet deal if you ask me.

Going back to when it first dropped, critics were all nodding in agreement. Metacritic has it at an 85, if you’re into numbers and scores and all that jazz. It grabbed some fancy awards too—Best Game at the British Academy thing, Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick, and others I can’t remember right now. So yeah, not just me saying it’s good.

Anyway—I think—where was I? Oh, right, keep your eyes peeled here for more PS Store bargains, because who doesn’t like a good deal, right?
