Huge PS5 game sale will help you stock up on physical discs before they disappear - Polygon.com

What the report says

Polygon reported that several major U.S. retailers are discounting physical PlayStation 5 games, giving players a chance to buy disc copies of prominent first-party and console-associated titles. The sale is described as running across retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop and Target, and Polygon says it resembles Sony’s digital PlayStation Store Summer Sale while offering a smaller physical selection.

The deals highlighted by Polygon include God of War Ragnarök at $29.99, Ghost of Tsushima at $29.99, Horizon Forbidden West at $39.99, Helldivers 2 at $29.93, Stellar Blade at $39.99, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at $29.93, Returnal at $29.83, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered at $29, Gran Turismo 7 at $29.83, Astro Bot at $39.88 and Demon’s Souls at $29.83. The article also notes discounts on newer or notable releases such as Death Stranding 2 and Saros, and mentions a smaller deal for Lego Horizon Adventures on Switch.

Polygon framed the sale against continuing consumer concern about the future of physical game media and the ability to collect, lend or resell disc-based games. The article does not provide exact retailer start dates for the physical sale, but it notes that the related digital PlayStation Store Summer Sale is scheduled to run through Aug. 12.

The development matters for PS5 owners who prefer physical copies or want to fill gaps in their libraries at lower prices. While digital storefronts often dominate seasonal promotions, retailer discounts on discs remain important for buyers who value ownership flexibility and long-term access.
