Just saw the Extended Play sale go live on the PlayStation Store and it's honestly the best time to dive into some classics before the big new release hits. I mean, with Assassin's Creed Shadows dropping next month, what better way to prep than by catching up on the older titles at a fraction of the cost? The deals are massive, and as someone who's played through a lot of these, I can tell you the value is insane right now. There's something for everyone, whether you're a stealth-action fanatic, an open-world explorer, or just looking for a brilliant story.
🎮 My Top Picks from the Sale
Let's get straight to the good stuff. Here are the deals that made me do a double-take:
-
Assassin's Creed Franchise (Up to 85% off!): This is the headline act for me. If you're hyped for Assassin's Creed Shadows like I am, this is your chance to marathon the modern era.
-
Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage – all on deep discount. I personally think playing Origins and Odyssey gives you the best context for the RPG-style evolution before Shadows takes it back to stealth roots.
-
Seriously, getting these for less than a new indie game is a steal.
-
-
Ghost of Tsushima (67% off): Okay, hear me out. This isn't an AC game, but if you're excited for Shadows' feudal Japan setting, this is THE perfect primer. The open-world stealth, the stunning landscapes, the katana combat—it's a masterpiece. Playing this now will make the wait for Shadows so much more exciting.
-
Marvel's Spider-Man Series: These games are simply some of the best on PlayStation, period.
-
Spider-Man 2 Deluxe Edition (38% off): The latest and greatest. Swinging through New York has never felt better.
-
Original Spider-Man (50% off): If you haven't played it yet, this is a must-buy. The story is phenomenal even if you're not a Marvel superfan.
-
-
Uncharted Series: The definitive action-adventure series. Perfect for binge-playing.
-
Nathan Drake Collection (First 3 games for $9.99): An absolute no-brainer. That's less than $3.50 per game!
-
Legacy of Thieves Collection (Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy for $19.99): The graphical showcase and epic conclusion.
-
-
Diablo IV Expansion (30% off): For a completely different vibe—if you're into deep, loot-driven RPG action, this is a solid deal on the latest content.
🤔 Why This Sale is Perfect for 2026
Look, we're in 2026 now, and gaming budgets are real. This sale makes building or completing your PS5 library incredibly affordable. With Assassin's Creed Shadows just around the corner (March 20th!), this isn't just a random discount event. It feels like a curated prelude. Sony and Ubisoft are basically giving us a history lesson before the main event. It's smart, and as a player, I appreciate it.
đź’Ž Final Verdict & Tips
This Extended Play sale, running alongside the Planet of Discounts, is stacked. Don't sleep on it. My personal strategy?
-
For AC Shadows Hype: Grab Ghost of Tsushima for the setting vibe, and maybe AC Origins to see where the modern RPG style began. It's the perfect combo pack.
-
For Story Lovers: The Uncharted collections are unbeatable value for the amount of quality content you get.
-
For Superhero Fans: Jump into Spider-Man. You won't regret it.
The variety is crazy. From massive AAA blockbusters to niche indies (which are also on sale!), there's genuinely something for every type of gamer. My wallet is already crying, but my game library is about to get a whole lot richer. Happy gaming, everyone! 🎉
This perspective is supported by PlayStation Trophies, and it’s a handy companion to the Extended Play sale mindset: when you’re stacking big RPG-length games like Assassin’s Creed Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla or tackling full series runs like Uncharted, trophy roadmaps and achievement breakdowns can help you decide what’s worth your time (and how completionist-friendly each pick really is) before you hit “Buy.”
