It's Wednesday morning, so you already know what it is time for. The PlayStation Store has, as usual, updated itself with a new selection of offers, and this time around it's the Essential Picks sale. The range of PlayStation 4 discounts will stick around until midnight on 16th September 2020, so you've got exactly two weeks to take advantage of any price cuts you like the look of. These deals are live right now across Europe, but US users will have to wait a little bit longer for them to hit the PlayStation Store -- we shall update this article once those prices are available. So, without further ado, let's take a look at what we've got this week.
The Last of Us: Part II receives its first official, temporary price cut down to £44.99/$49.99, FIFA 20 is now a bargain bin offer at £4.19/$4.79, the excellent Dreams can be yours for £26.24/$29.99, and God of War comes in at £11.99/$14.99. You can cop Watch Dogs 2 just before the launch of its sequel for £9.99/$9.99, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a great deal at just £7.99, and Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor can be purchased at the same price. Danganronpa 1&2 Reload gets in on the action with the asking price of £15.74/$19.99 while Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is just £7.99/$9.59.
The Essential Picks sale also slashes the prices of some DLC offerings, including every Marvel's Spider-Man expansion for £4.02/$4.99 apiece. The Nioh 2 season pass comes in at £13.99/$13.99, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is down to £4.79/$5.99, and Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is £17.99/$20.99.
To be perfectly honest, this isn't the best PlayStation Store sale we've ever seen, but there is still one or two decent deals to be taken advantage of. If nothing here takes your fancy, don't forget that the big PS Store Indie sale is still live through until 9th September 2020. Will you be picking up any PS4 games as part of the Essential Picks sale? Post your digital haul in the comments below.

Add to my pile of shame? Not bloomin' likely right now, I literally needed a pandemic to get it down to manageable levels of shame.
I sort of feel like I should pick the Danganronpa stuff up because it might be delisted soon. But I don’t want to play it imminently so I probably shouldn’t.
Any chance Persona 5 Royal is in this latest sale? I’m still waiting for a drop in price before I double dip on this game.
My library of games (prefer that to 'backlog' or 'pile of shame'!) is not too bad at the moment, and as I've never played the first Tomb Raider reboot I'll grab that for the silly £2.39 it's down to, but that's it for me this time around.
What a generous discount that is on TLOU2.
Really need to put dreams on plus the games dying rarely see over 2000 people on it
Hmmmm £30 brand new on disc for TLOU2 or £45 quid for the digital version... that is the reason right there that I will never buy an all digital PS5
@gmxs Easy to buy the psn credit at up to 25% discount though... pretty much wipes out any difference most of the time. Plus, I could pick out games that are far cheaper on PSN if I wanted to.
Anyway, the convenience of not messing around swapping discs like a muppet for the next seven or eight years would be worth it to me anyway, whatever the price difference! PS5 digital edition all the way for me come November!
I think I'll buy danganronpa v3 and trine 4.
Dark Souls 2, the one where you do this thing and get extremely lost.
I'd buy FIFA for £4.19, except I can't as I have an active EA Access subscription (that won't be renewed). I thought this was meant to be resolved?
@Topov81 Ugh, I have the same problem. You would think little things like that would be resolved by now.
Watch Dogs 2 is well worth a tenner.
i might pick up DS2:SotFS - i've never played the dlc.
Experienced tlou2 already of course. Will get it again, this time digitally and for the library, next year for 15 or 20 bucks.
@Nightcrawler71 It was just on sale over the weekend (at least in the US), but that ended Sunday. It was $45 for the deluxe.
Wonder what the US prices will be? TLOU 2 is still a bit too pricey for me to justify picking it up, but I've got a huge backlog.
@Topov81 something similar happened to me when PS+ gave away Star wars battlefront 2, I'm still not sure if I've got it through ps+ or not until the EA Access expires. I suspect not.
@Porkfiend
Where do you get PSN credit at a discount?
So why is Dark Souls only on sale in UK?
I bought TLoU 2 Special Edition at full price and I don't regret it for one second. I didn't have a single thing spoiled for me and playing through that game was glorious.
@B_Lindz got it a few days ago it's awesome
