PS Store: 2019 GOTY Contender Now 40% Off for PS4, PS5

Alright, so let’s dive into this, shall we? Picture this: The PS Store is throwing its Summer Sale bash. Yeah, the big kahuna of discounts. Got some juicy deals for both your trusty PS4 and that shiny PS5 sitting proud in your living room. One gem to catch your eye? Oh boy, it’s got to be this epic first-person open-world adventure from 2019 — and yeah, it nearly snagged Game of the Year. Just saying.

So, there’s this mind-bender called Outer Wilds. (Maybe you’ve heard of it? Maybe not.) Anyway, Mobius Digital crafted it, with Annapurna Interactive giving it the push it needed. It’s like 40% off right now, which basically means you’re not paying the usual $24.99. Nope, you’re paying $14.99. Feels like someone’s pulling a fast one, but nope, it’s real. But tick-tock, folks, you’ve got till July 31. Middle of the night deadline. Two fifty-nine a.m. ET, to be precise — not that I’ll be up, ’cause who am I kidding?

And here’s the game in a nutshell: You, my friend, are the new kid in Outer Wilds Ventures. They’re this scrappy space crew poking around in a bizarre solar system that never seems to sit still. Ever wondered what’s up with that spooky Dark Bramble? Or those cryptic alien ruins they slapped on the Moon? What about that endless time loop? Like, can it be cracked? Answers are supposedly floating around, but getting them might be another story.

Now, for those who get hooked — the kind that always needs more — there’s the DLC, Echoes of the Eye. Yup, more universe to chew on and it’s also on sale. $9.89 instead of the usual $14.99. Quick math: That’s a 34% markdown. Serious deal vibes here.

When Outer Wilds first broke out, folks couldn’t stop talking about it. Over at Metacritic (you know, the review roundup place), it sat pretty with an 85 score from 29 critics. That’s a lot of people nodding in agreement. And awards? Oh, it cleaned up. Best Game from the British Academy Games Awards, Best Indie at the Golden Joystick thing, and kudos for design at the Independent Games Festival. It didn’t just get nods, it basically owned the stage at the Game Awards, D.I.C.E. Awards, and the Game Developers’ Choice Awards.

Alright, if deals are your jam, maybe keep this space bookmarked? Who knows what might pop up next on the PS Store. Stay wild, my friends.
