Sony just threw more gasoline on the fire with their PS Store Summer Sale. More games, more discounts—basically a gamer’s happy place right now. And, oh boy, they’ve slashed prices on one particular gem from 2015. Yup, this one’s got its roots in some big-screen legend. Can you guess? Probably not, but hang on.
### Mad Max is now just $4.99 on the PS Store
So, here’s the scoop: Avalanche Studios, with a nudge from Warner Bros. Interactive, put out Mad Max, and now it’s going for a ridiculous $4.99. Yeah, five bucks! Down from $19.99. You could probably scrounge up the savings in your couch cushions. If you’ve got a PS4 or PS5, hustle. This sale wraps up August 14 at 2:59 a.m. ET. They even include a YouTube figure embed or something—don’t ask, I’m not a tech whiz.
“Become Mad Max,” the game’s ad teases, like you’re stepping into these dusty boots yourself. “A lone warrior—cars are life!” In this crazy, chaotic open-world, third-person thing, it’s survival of the fittest. Max wants out—away from the chaos. But first, he’s gotta deal with those pesky bandits and build one heck of a ride. Just a typical Tuesday, right?
Flashback to 2015: Mad Max hit PS4 with what was, well, kind of a meh reception. Metacritic’s got it at a lukewarm 69 from 71 reviews. But hey, we were a bit kinder, throwing it an 8 out of 10. Because brawling and car chaos? Fun times. You might hit a point where it feels like yesterday’s news, but until then, it’s a blast. Or maybe not. Sometimes it feels like rewatching an old favorite movie—nostalgia mixed with “didn’t see that plot hole before.” The game is practically shouting, “Here’s some chaotic joy for hours!”
So, yeah… wait, what was I even talking about? Oh, right, Mad Max on sale. Grab it before it’s gone. Or don’t. But seriously, you probably should.
