PlayStation January Sale Early Access Is Live: Best PS5 & PS4 Game Deals You Shouldn’t Miss
The January PS5 sale promises major savings, but real prices reveal a mixed picture. See which games offer value and which still feel expensive.
Sony has rolled out Early Access for the PlayStation January Sale in India, allowing PlayStation Plus subscribers to purchase discounted PS5 and PS4 games ahead of the full sale launch.
The early-access window is available to users across all PlayStation Plus tiers and will remain active until December 22. The broader January Sale is expected to open for all users once this period ends.
The sale features a wide selection of first-party PlayStation titles, recent third-party releases, and older catalogue games.
However, the scale of discounts varies across titles, with some games seeing meaningful price reductions while others remain only marginally cheaper than their standard pricing.
Among the notable deals, Battlefield 6 is currently available with a 30% discount, bringing its price to around ₹3,500.
While the single-player campaign offers a standard experience, the game’s multiplayer mode continues to be its primary draw, particularly for players interested in large-scale online battles.
Forza Horizon 5 has been discounted by 40% and is priced at approximately ₹2,400.
The open-world racing title remains popular for its visual presentation and content depth.
While the game is available through Xbox Game Pass on other platforms, PlayStation users looking for permanent ownership may find the current pricing reasonable.
Recently released Mafia: The Old Country has received a relatively modest discount of about 10%. Given the game’s linear structure and shorter runtime, the current price may not appeal to value-focused buyers, who may prefer to wait for deeper discounts in future sales.
The base digital edition of Elden Ring is available at around ₹2,280, reflecting a 35% price cut. The version on sale does not include downloadable content.
Players unfamiliar with Souls-style gameplay may prefer physical copies, which allow resale, as the game’s high difficulty can be a barrier for some.
Sports titles are also part of the sale lineup. WWE 2K25, priced near ₹1,650, is already included with PlayStation Plus, reducing the need for a separate purchase for subscribers.
NBA 2K26 is listed at around ₹2,000 and offers a limited trial for PS Plus Deluxe members, catering primarily to fans of the basketball simulation genre.
One of the lowest-priced titles in the sale is A Way Out, available for approximately ₹270. The cooperative-only game requires two players and supports both online and local play. Its narrative-driven design has made it a popular co-op recommendation at discounted prices.
Fighting game fans will find Tekken priced at around ₹1,400, while Mortal Kombat 1 is available for roughly ₹600 and is also included in PlayStation Plus. As a result, Mortal Kombat 1 currently offers better value for subscribers.
Several major titles from Rockstar Games are best accessed through subscription rather than purchase.
Grand Theft Auto V (Enhanced Edition) and Red Dead Redemption are both included in PlayStation Plus. Red Dead Redemption benefits from a 60 FPS presentation and continues to perform well on modern hardware.
Hogwarts Legacy has dropped to around ₹660 and is also included in PlayStation Plus. Players can either access the game through their subscription or opt to buy it permanently at the reduced price.
Not all discounted titles stand out. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, priced near ₹800, has received mixed feedback due to its repetitive gameplay structure and lengthy progression, making it a title many players may prefer to skip or wait on.
The standalone title Elden Ring: Night Rain, offered as a digital deluxe edition at approximately ₹2,560, introduces a challenge-focused format built around shrinking play areas and AI-controlled bosses. The game is targeted at players familiar with high-difficulty mechanics.
Among the stronger deals in the current sale, Final Fantasy XVI Complete Edition is available at around ₹2,400 with a 50% discount.
The edition includes all additional content and is considered one of the more substantial value offerings in the sale.
Other discounted titles
Nier: Automata, Armored Core VI, the Destiny Collection, Ghostrunner 2, Atomic Heart, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, The Division 2, GTA Trilogy, Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter Collection, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Overall, the PlayStation January Sale Early Access presents a mixed pricing landscape. While older titles and complete editions offer improved value, several newer releases remain lightly discounted.
PlayStation Plus subscribers are advised to review subscription availability before purchasing, as many games included in the sale can already be accessed through the service.
The full January Sale is expected to bring additional deals once Early Access concludes later this month.
