PlayStation's epic Memorial Day sale has PS5 games from $5 — these are the 11 best deals I'd buy

The long Memorial Day weekend is the perfect excuse to dive into some excellent PS5 games, and the PlayStation Store is giving you the perfect excuse with its new sales event called "Multiverse of Games". This sale runs until June 5, and packs more than 2,000 deals across PS5 and PS4 games (as well as a selection of DLC content and in-game currencies). There are plenty of epic titles in this sale, including our pick for the best PS5 game you can play, God of War Ragnarök, which is now just $39 (was $69). At the same time, Amazon and Best Buy are also offering rival deals, so whether you prefer a digital download or a physical game disc, here are the PS5 deals that I've got my eyes on ahead of the Memorial Day weekend. After more than a decade of waiting, EA has returned to the world of NCAA football in the appropriately titled College Football 25. And this simulation of college football was worth the weight. Offering a slightly more arcade-style pace than its Madden sibling, and letting you play as the biggest schools in the country, it lived up to all those years of anticipation. Return to a galaxy far, far away in the biggest Lego Star Wars game to date. Experience the entirety of The Skywalker Saga in plastic-brick form and collect more than 300 playable characters as you smash everything in sight. From The Phantom Menace through The Rise of Skywalker, this is the ultimate retelling of the greatest sci-fi sagas ever told. Dead Island 2 offers players a sun-soaked playground crawling with the undead. Using just about any weapon you can get your hands on, it's your job to slay your throughway Hell-A from the mansions of Beverly Hills to the boardwalk of Venice Beach. Fully playable in co-op, Dead Island 2 is a rip-roaring open-world game full of zombies to slaughter, survivors to assist and loot to collect. One of the most acclaimed and influential games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this full-scale remake. You play Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter in a spooky European village overrun with gruesome enemies. Featuring modernized gameplay and overhauled visuals, this is Resident Evil 4 as you've never seen it before. Dragon's Dogma 2 is an absorbing fantasy RPG that doesn't pull its punches. Set in a rich mythical universe, you set out on quests that get increasingly complex and challenging. The focus on exploration and deep combat will keep you hooked across its lengthy adventure. Plus, it looks stunning on PS5. Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It's a strong package, and it was perfectly timed to coincide with the latest Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. Following this year's dramatic Masters tournament, now is the time to step out onto the links and prove yourself a golfing whiz. PGA Tour 2K25 is the latest entry in the annual sports sim series, and boasts the level of authenticity you'd expect from a 2K game. The anticipated second part of the Final Fantasy VII remake series, FFVII Rebirth is one of the most beautiful RPGs ever made. This game is absolutely packed with content, providing hundreds of hours of activities. At this lower price, now is a great time to give Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a shot. We loved how the side quests and minigames provided a huge amount of depth to the gameplay, and we considered it a must-own PS5 title in our Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review. Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry in the long-running series, and sees you venture into new terrortiy teeming with fearsome creatures to craft. Sticking closely to the series' well-established formula, it combines thrilling battles with deep crafting and customization. And also boats a highly cinematic main story campaign that can be played in full four-player co-op. Civilization VII makes some of the biggest changes yet to the established formula, and while not all of these additions are necessarily for the best, it remains one of the deepest strategy games on the market. This is a game you can play for literally thousands of hours.

Behold, the Monster Hunter Wilds effect: Capcom's old Monster Hunter games sold even better in the past year despite 10 million copies of Wilds eating the fandom's time and money

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Capcom has released its latest financial earnings, and it seems nothing can stop Monster Hunter - not even Monster Hunter. Old entries in the venerable series are selling even better than they did the year before, collectively outstripping the sales of Monster Hunter Wilds itself. Monster Hunter Wilds sold an impressive 10.1 million units at launch, according to Capcom's FY24 earnings report. The financial year covers April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, which only encompasses the first month of Wilds' release, making the figure even more impressive. Five of Capcom's top six sellers for the year were Monster Hunter titles, broken up only by Resident Evil 4. Between World, Iceborne, Rise, and Sunbreak, the old MonHun games and expansions sold a collective 10.4 million units, just barely outdoing Wilds itself. It seems clear that anticipation for Wilds drove some of those sales. In FY23, the series sold a collective 9.4 million units, so this year's numbers are showing a pretty substantial bump. "Cumulative sales of the series overall surpassed 100 million units worldwide, helping to enhance the brand value of Monster Hunter," Capcom said in its report. Between Wilds and the rest of the series, Capcom's reporting 20.5 million Monster Hunter titles sold for FY24, and that led to what the publisher calls an "all-time high" of 51.9 million games sold across its entire catalog in the year. Fully 39% of Capcom's video game sales are now Monster Hunter-shaped, and I for one welcome our new Rathalos overlords. Check out our guide to the best Monster Hunter Wilds weapons.

Our No More Heroes 3 review said that while this game isn't perfect, it is a ton of fun thanks to its bombastic style and awesome boss battles. Game designer Suda51's unique style is on full show here, which you'll probably either love or hate.

One of 2022's unexpected cult hits, Stray casts you as a curious cat in a world filled with humanoid robots.

Resident Evil 9 officially teased in new video

Resident Evil 9 fans believe Capcom has just teased its next entry in the iconic survival horror series. In July 2024, Capcom announced that Resident Evil 9 is currently in development, though its full title hasn't been officially announced. I assume it will likely be called Resident Evil with a subheading of sorts. Check out the Resident Evil 4 trailer below! At this time, we've had to rely on rumours for information regarding Resident Evil 9, with many claiming that it will star both Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine as playable characters. If this happens, it would be a first for the video game series. As we've seen with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, Capcom likes to hide a Roman numeral somewhere in the title during marketing, and Resident Evil 9 will likely be no exception. With that in mind, during a short video from Capcom thanking fans for making the 2023 Resident Evil 4 remake the fastest game in the series to achieve 10 million sales, fans believe that Resident Evil 9 may have been teased. During the opening moments of Resident Evil 4, when Leon first wanders into the village, players encounter a bonfire with a wooden cross burning. This is where fans believe Resident Evil 9 has been teased. As brought to our attention by Dusk Golem (thanks, Reddit), when rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the Roman numeral for nine has seemingly been edited into the wooden cross in the bonfire. The number nine does not feature in the game at this location. エージェントの皆様へ感謝の気持ちを込めて記念映像をご用意いたしました。ぜひ音付きでお楽しみください。Attention all agents,We've prepared a special video to express our gratitude to all of you, which we hope you'll enjoy (with sound ON)!RE4 Dev Team — Capcom Dev 1 (@dev1_official) April 25, 2025So Capcom has gone out of its way to make this edit, and for that reason, it's easy to understand why so many fans believe this is a cheeky tease for Resident Evil 9. We've not had an official update on the development progress of Resident Evil 9 since its vague announcement last year, so hopefully, Capcom is gearing up to reveal more in the coming months. As always, we'll keep you posted when Capcom drops the official details on the next entry in its Resident Evil series.
