We’re just under a week away from official Memorial Day sales, but Best Buy is already pulling out all the stops in its PS5 deals game. You’ll find plenty of savings on the shelves right now, but where I usually see bargain bucket titles tacking up most of the day-to-day discounts these aisles are lined with real bargains on some of the latest titles. More specifically - there are four games I’d be buying in a snap if I had today’s prices to play with; Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Dead Island 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Take Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, for example. You’ll find it at just $24.99 over at Best Buy (was $49.99) - a new record-low price. This is a regularly discounted title these days, but it still only ever dropped to $30 in the past. Dead Island 2 is a personal highlight, and I wish I’d waited for this fantastic $19.99 sale price.
Yes, the long-awaited successor has seemingly dipped to $29.99 permanently, but paying just $20 for the whole game is a steal - especially considering it’s a little difficult to find right now. Throw in a massive $40 discount on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and a brand new record-low $34.99 sale price on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and this sale is shaping up pretty well.
This week’s Memorial Day PS5 deals are certainly off to a good start and we’re still five days away from the main event. You’ll find my four picks outlined a little more just below, and plenty more PS5 deals further down the page.
