Massive 60% Discount on 2017 GOTY Contender for This Week Only on PS Store!

Alright, so here’s the deal: PlayStation Store is doing this weird switcheroo thing again. One sale ends, and bam, another one kicks in. Right now, it’s this Big Games Big Deals sale, and it’s all about getting your hands on top PS4 and PS5 games for way less cash. We’re talking up to 70% off, which is nuts, right? Oh, and yeah, there’s this 2017 Game of the Year contender in the mix.

NieR: Automata is 60% off on the PS Store

So here’s the thing – NieR: Automata, the Game of the YoRHa Edition, is sitting at 60% off. Instead of the usual $39.99, it’s dropped to $15.99. Pretty sweet, right? But don’t snooze, because this deal only hangs around until May 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Why it’s such an odd time, I have no idea.

The game’s blurb is all dramatic and stuff: "Invaders from another world attack without warning – unleashing the machine lifeforms." Like, wow. Then, they throw in these androids called the YoRHa squad to fix things. Honestly, it’s got that praised action-RPG vibe that people seem to love.

The special edition has all this extra stuff – bonus DLC, cool skins like the Play System Pod, Cardboard Pod, Retro Red Pod, you name it. There’s even a Machine Mask and some PS4 themes and avatars. Kind of neat for a bundle, if you’re into that.

And if you’re on the fence, they’ve got a free demo up, so no pressure in jumping right in.

When it first hit the scene back in 2017, folks were all about it. Critics on Metacritic gave it an 88, which seems high in the gaming world – I think. It bagged awards like Best Score/Music at The Game Awards and a couple more at the D.I.C.E. and Japan Game Awards. So yeah, it comes with a bit of a pedigree.

So that’s the scoop. Go grab it if you’re into that kind of gaming chaos. Or don’t. But at least now you know!
