Among the featured titles, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach recently marked its first anniversary on June 26.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which received an update on July 28 adding new unlockable skins, returns with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales facing the threat of Venom in Marvel’s New York. Astro Bot and Gran Turismo 7 complete the highlighted lineup of discounted games.
The sale lineup spans multiple genres. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 lets players instantly switch between the two Spider-Men and use flashy new abilities, including the web-wing for aerial traversal. Astro Bot sends the hero on a space adventure across more than 50 planets aboard the Dual Speeder to rescue PlayStation’s iconic heroes. Gran Turismo 7 delivers the GT Campaign mode, over 420 cars, and more than 90 track layouts with changing weather, supported by regular free updates. For players who prefer collecting physical editions, this sale looks like a worthwhile chance to pick up recent first-party highlights at friendlier prices.
