PlayStation gamers have something exciting to look forward to this summer as Sony has announced the date for its highly anticipated 2023 Summer Sale. Starting from July 19, players can avail themselves of fantastic discounts on a vast selection of PS5 and PS4 games.
This annual sale event has become a tradition for PlayStation, offering gamers the chance to expand their game libraries without breaking the bank.

The PlayStation Store is known for its frequent sales, and the Summer Sale is one of the year’s most anticipated events. Gamers can purchase their favourite titles from July 19 to August 16 at discounted prices.

However, it’s worth noting that certain games will be removed from the promotion on August 2, so players should keep track of the titles they want to buy. Sony understands the importance of convenience for its players, and to ensure that no great deal slips through the cracks, gamers can add their desired titles to their wishlists.
Additionally, the PS5 will notify users whenever their selected products go on sale, not just during the Summer Sale but for future promotions.
Excitement Builds as Players Await the Game List
Although the start date for the Summer Sale has been revealed, Sony has left players in suspense by not disclosing the list of games that will be included in the sale. The complete game list will only be unveiled at 12:00 AM local time on July 19.
Fans can expect diverse offerings, from popular first-party and third-party games to indie titles. However, it remains unclear if PS VR2 games will be included in the sale, so PS VR2 owners must wait for more information.
Recalling Last Year’s Summer Sale
Looking back at previous Summer Sales, it’s evident that Sony consistently provides impressive discounts on various games. Last year’s promotion featured substantial price reductions on games such as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and The Quarry, to name just a few. Sony also surprised gamers by adding highly anticipated titles like Horizon Forbidden West to the lineup mid-sale, making the event even more exciting.
Membership Discounts and Expectations
While Sony has shared details about the Summer Sale, there is no mention of whether PlayStation Plus memberships will be a part of the sale. Users interested in subscribing or extending their memberships may need to wait for further information.
PlayStation Plus memberships typically go on sale during specific periods such as the Days of Play and Black Friday promotions. Gamers eager to take advantage of membership discounts must stay tuned for potential future announcements.
