95+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's January Sale

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew (PS5)

$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)

This real-time strategy game flew way under the radar for many, but it's another great title from the makers of Desperados III and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. With a pirate theme, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew has you command a growing selection of supernatural sailors, each with their own abilities that complement each other. There is a variety of valid approaches to each mission, and its forgiving time rewind function means it does away with any frustration. If you're a fan of strategy titles, this should be on your radar.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (PS4)

$3.99/£3.29 (-90%)

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a fantastic stealth-strategy game that you rarely see these days. Set in ancient Japan, you control various characters with different skills as you sneak through picturesque environments. There's real depth to the gameplay here and lots to see and do, so if you're in the mood for some tactical thinking, this is a strong move.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5)

$20.99/£17.49 (-30%)

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is hard to fault. We can take or leave the story, the platforming is occasionally frustrating, and levels can outstay their welcome sometimes — but that's basically it. This is otherwise a brilliant 2D action platformer that looks gorgeous and plays even better thanks to kinetic, satisfying combat that feels superb when you get in the flow. If this is any indicator of SEGA's other upcoming franchise revivals, we're in for some good times ahead.

Silent Hill 2 (PS5)

$34.99/£29.99 (-50%)

Comfortably one of the greatest remakes around — especially when you narrow it down to the survival horror genre — Silent Hill 2 is a triumph of a resurrection from Bloober Team and Konami. The vast majority of the original PS2 masterpiece is faithfully brought back with modern visuals and gameplay design, and then expanded upon in all the right ways with bigger areas to explore and then new endings. Silent Hill 2 remains just as incredible as it did back in 2001 thanks to the delicate and appreciated work of Bloober Team.

Silent Hill F (PS5)

$41.99/£41.99 (-40%)

Silent Hill F takes the survival horror series in a new direction, which pays off for the most part. It’s quite different, and hardcore fans will have to accept that. Combat is a heavy focus, and the move to Japan means there’s a different kind of tone and atmosphere in the air. Technical problems aside, it marks a bold new chapter in the Silent Hill saga. Accept it for what it is, and you’ll find one of PS5’s most intense experiences.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PS5)

$48.99/£45.49 (-30%)

Some small gripes aside, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a rock solid kart racer that carves its own path. The dimension-hopping races are fun, varied, and fast, and the robust customisation allows players to really tinker with how the game feels. With energetic action, a good range of race types, and plenty of post-launch content on the way, this is an entertaining entry for casual players and hardcore Sonic fans alike.

Split Fiction (PS5)

$37.49/£33.74 (-25%)

Following up the beloved It Takes Two, Split Fiction is another co-op action adventure in much the same vein, but it's a big step up. Featuring simple and smooth controls at its core, this game focuses on two aspiring writers who get stuck in a simulation of their own stories, resulting in a wildly varied quest through sci-fi and fantasy worlds. The pace at which it presents you with new ideas, breathless set-pieces, and ingenious co-op moments is unparalleled, culminating in a finale that's unlike anything we've seen before in a game. This is arguably the best co-op experience on PS5, and it's one of 2025's top titles full stop.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS5)

$5.99/£6.74 (-85%)

One of the best Star Wars games in recent memory is Jedi: Fallen Order, and it's even better with its PS5 iteration. The action title charts the adventures of Cal Kestis, a character who undergoes secret Jedi training amid the Empire's crackdown. With a motley crew, you journey to various known and new worlds, engaging in simple environmental puzzles and intense melee combat. On PS5, the game benefits from improved framerate and higher resolution, giving you the best picture possible while cutting through Stormtroopers with your customised lightsaber.

Tales of Arise (PS5)

$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)

Bandai Namco went big budget with Tales of Arise, and delivered a fantastic action RPG. Taking place across a wide range of vibrant locations and boasting an endearing main cast of characters, there's an awful lot to like about the desperate adventures of Alphen. As you'd expect of the long running series, the real-time, combo-based combat is a highlight — but a twisting story also strings things along to great effect. For our gald, Tales of Arise is one of the PS5's strongest Japanese RPGs.

Tekken 8 (PS5)

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

Arguably the most explosive Tekken game yet, Tekken 8 is a truly bombastic fighter. Fundamentally, it builds on the already fantastic foundations of Tekken 7, but the new Heat system brings so much aggression to the series' trademark 3D gameplay. Featuring a healthy list of modes — both online and offline — a rock solid character roster, and the promise of many memorable battles, Tekken 8 is probably the franchise at its peak.

Tetris Effect (PS5)

$19.99/£17.49 (-80%)

Tetris Effect was great on PS4, but its PS5 version just takes things up a notch. Merging that classic falling block game with mesmerising visuals and entrancing music, it's an amazing experience that truly sings in 4K and HDR. We'd highly recommend playing it on your TV, but it's also brilliant in PSVR2. There's little sacrifice to picture quality, and the extra immersion you feel with the special effects swirling all around you is awesome. With so many modes to enjoy, this is the ultimate Tetris experience on PlayStation.

Thank Goodness You're Here! (PS5)

$11.99/£8.99 (-40%)

Set in a fictitious Yorkshire town, Thank Goodness You're Here! is probably the best, and certainly the most ridiculous, portrayal of England in games. While waiting to meet with the mayor of Barnsworth, you help out dozens of people in its community with their bizarre problems, leading you through a linear but varied journey packed with laughs. Its gameplay may be simple, but this short adventure will live long in your memory thanks to great voice work and visual gags you won't be able to forget.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (PS4)

$15.99/£13.19 (-60%)

Set long before the events of the other Ace Attorney games, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles turns back the clock to the 19th century. Focusing on the journey of rookie attorney Ryunosuke Naruhodo (ancestor of Phoenix Wright) and his friend Herlock Sholmes, this duology of games plays similarly to the rest of the series, but sets itself apart with a fresh setting and characters. On top of that, it features some of the best cases and storylines in the whole franchise. If you enjoy this quirky courtroom drama series, this is definitely worth playing.

The Making of Karateka (PS5)

$8.99/£7.19 (-55%)

The Making of Karateka is a rare treat. It's part documentary, part archive, part collection of old games, and part remaster. It's also a wonderful example of just how far we can go with game preservation if we put the work in, and the gold standard for how we should approach collections of classic games going forward.

The Messenger (PS4)

$3.99/£3.19 (-80%)

The Messenger is a rock solid action platformer that balances out its retro stylings with modern touches and brilliantly slick controls. Blasting through the lengthy story is compelling, as new story beats and abilities are thrown into the mix. It perhaps flies a little too close to the sun later on as you hunt down the final few collectibles, but by and large, it's a cloud-stepping joy. Fans of 2D action games should have a blast with this, and that's a message we're happy to pass along.

The Talos Principle II (PS5)

$5.99/£6.74 (-85%)

The Talos Principle 2 follows in its predecessor's shoes by nailing down a brilliant philosophical puzzle sequel with new and improved mechanics. If the puzzle solving doesn't get your brain ticking, then the in-depth philosophical discussions surely will. With exceptional puzzle design, glorious presentation, and thought-provoking conversations, Croteam has created a follow-up to be remembered for years to come.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4)

$7.99/£4.99 (-80%)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the game that every RPG will be measured against going forward - and we don't think that it'll be beaten for quite some time to come. Using its vast open world as shockingly well realised set dressing rather than a map that houses a tedious amount of objective markers, CD Projekt Red's masterpiece is all killer and no filler. Side quests are just as fleshed out as the main story, and your choices can have severe consequences throughout. Add in two expansions that are better than most full games, and you have the complete RPG package.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5)

$29.99/£23.99 (-40%)

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is another fantastic skateboarding title that revives some all-time classics, albeit with some caveats. It's a shame that 4 couldn't be more faithfully restored, but what is included still makes for a fun arcade skating experience that fans of the series shouldn't skip — especially considering the brand new levels and other neat secrets. It may not be the greatest remake, but it's further proof that there's life yet in this timeless series.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (PS5)

$44.99/£37.49 (-25%)

Trails simply doesn't get much better than Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. This is a full-on remake of Falcom's very first Trails title, rebuilt from the ground up to be what is easily the series' best-looking instalment to date. Borrowing the hybrid combat system of later Trails games, it's got some of the most refined gameplay mechanics in the franchise, blending a classic JRPG foundation with modern sensibilities. A perfect gateway to Trails as a whole.

Trombone Champ: Unflattened (PS5)

$13.99/£11.89 (-30%)

Trombone Champ: Unflattened is a successful conversion of the viral sensation into the VR space. Playing a virtual trombone by emulating the physical movements required, this is a madcap musical experience that'll entertain you and everyone in the room — or maybe drive them insane. Hilarious fun whether you succeed or fail, this is a surprisingly challenging rhythm title with plenty to unlock for good measure.

Unicorn Overlord (PS5)

$20.99/£19.24 (-65%)

"Vanillaware doesn't miss" — a statement that grows more and more meaningful with every game that the talented Japanese studio releases. Unicorn Overlord takes the developer in yet another new direction, channelling the spirit of strategy RPGs like Fire Emblem to create one of the finest examples of the genre that you'll find in modern gaming. Growing a huge army of characters and finding unique ways to squad them up is the crux of the experience, and it only gets increasingly addictive as the adventure continues. Couple that with Vanillaware's amazing, trademark art direction, and you've got a surefire recipe for role-playing success.

Vampire Survivors (PS5)

$3.74/£2.99 (-25%)

Probably one of the most moreish games on the market, Vampire Survivors is a fascinatingly fun roguelite. With attacks firing off automatically, all you have to do is avoid enemies and survive each 30-minute round, gathering XP and leveling up your abilities as you go. While it doesn't look like much in static screens, it'll surprise you just how chaotic things can get, and building your character to become a literally unstoppable force is satisfying every time. The sheer amount of unlocks and secrets to discover means practically every run gets you something, too. We can't recommend this one enough, but be warned — you might never play anything else again.

What Remains of Edith Finch (PS5)

$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)

What Remains of Edith Finch is a difficult game to talk about without spoiling what makes it special. It's a narrative-driven experience that only lasts a few hours, but it packs in so much inventive design and imaginative sequences that it will stick with you for longer than anything else. Playing as the titular Edith Finch, you return to her rickety, unusual family house and unearth what happened to everyone. It's emotional, surprising, characterful, and unique. Now also on PS5, there's no excuse to skip this excellent adventure.

Worms W.M.D (PS4)

$4.49/£2.99 (-85%)

Worms W.M.D is one of the better modern entries in the long-running series. It combines new, cartoonish visuals with turn-based action that feels just like the best-loved games of the past, like Worms Armageddon. While it includes all the classic weaponry and features you'd expect, it also adds crafting and vehicles like tanks and mechs, adding new layers to the time-tested gameplay.
