PS Store's "Big Winter Sale" Part 1 offers great deals on games to play during the year-end and New Year's holidays!

There are only a few days left in 2022. It has been a year in which many things have happened. Various media outlets are looking back on the year 2022, and I wonder if it is my age that makes me nostalgic for the first half of the year.... In the game industry, many titles were released in 2022, and many of them were big hits. Of course, there are many people who have already played these titles because they have been a hit all over the world, but time is limited and there may be people who have yet to play them. It would be a shame to let the New Year pass without playing these hit titles! The year-end and New Year holidays are your chance to play them all at once! The " Big Winter Sale " has started on the PlayStation Store, with some of the hottest titles on sale!

ELDEN RING

PlayStation Store

When talking about games in 2022, "ELDEN RING " is a title that cannot be avoided. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the game of 2022, a worldwide hit and an award-winning title. I am sure that many people have played this game, but some people who have not yet played it may have the impression that it looks difficult because it is made by From Software. It is true that it is a challenging title, but it is the end of the year and the New Year, so there should be time to play it over and over again! The sense of accomplishment from overcoming challenges is one of the best parts of From Software titles, so take advantage of this opportunity to play the most talked-about title of 2022! " ELDEN RING " is now 30% off from 9,240 yen (including tax) to 6,468 yen (including tax)! The Deluxe Edition, which includes a digital art book and soundtrack, is also on sale for 9,900 yen (including tax) → 6,930 yen (including tax), a 30% discount.

Sonic Frontier

PlayStation Store

The long-awaited new title in Japan's iconic "Sonic the Hedgehog" series is now available worldwide. It was just released on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, and now it's already on sale? Thank you very much! This is the first open-world game in the series, and it is a work that incorporates a lot of new gameplay features. For those of you who have loved Sonic up until now, you will be able to enjoy new fun, and for those who are playing Sonic for the first time in this title, you will be able to enjoy the long history of the series without fear, and run from one corner of the Starfall Islands to the other! And with a series of free updates coming in 2023, this is a title that will be around for a long time! A great deal! " Sonic Frontier " is 25% off from 6,589 yen (including tax) to 4,941 yen (including tax)! Please note that the Digital Deluxe which includes DLC is not included in the sale.

VALKYRIE ELYSIUM

PlayStation Store

The legendary RPG "Valkyrie" series returns as a high-speed action RPG. While inheriting the series' characteristic " Einferior " and other features, the game has evolved into a new type of game. There are many points of interest, such as beautiful graphics, a profound storyline, and a sophisticated worldview, but personally, the battles are very interesting! The exhilarating feeling of connecting combos at high speed and deciding on the " Divine Arts," a special technique, will satisfy even the most discerning action fan! VALKYRIE ELYSIUM " is 50% off from 8,580 yen (including tax) to 4,290 yen (including tax)! The Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the DLC and " Valkyrie Profile -Lenas- ", the origin of the series, is also on sale for 40% off, from 10,780 yen (including tax) to 6,468 yen (including tax). Personally, I recommend the Digital Del uxe Edition because "Valkyrie Profile -Lenus-" is a must-play game. A free demo version of "VALKYRIE ELYSIUM" is also available, so let's play the demo version first!

Stray

PlayStation Store

This is another cat game that made a big splash in 2022. It was an indie game, so it was affordable to begin with, and PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers could play it for no extra charge. The game has a cyberpunk, dark world with a cat as the main character, which is a very unique setting, but it is a wonderful result when it is in harmony with the world . The cat's behavior is so realistic and " cat-like " that even those who have lived with cats, or rather those who have lived with cats, will be able to feel the real cat! If you are a cat lover, be careful, because you may find yourself spending a lot of time just staring at them and letting them roam around! " Stray " is now available for 20% off, from 3,520 yen (including tax) to 2,816 yen (including tax)! It will continue to be included in the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog, so subscribers can play it at no extra charge.

The second offer will be available after the new year!
