Elden Ring
One of my favorite games of the PS5 generation (so far), Elden Ring is a must-play for anyone with a taste for dark fantasy and the stomach for a stiff challenge. Wander the mysterious, often frightening realm of The Lands Between, where generations of warfare have broken the world apart, even stalling the cycle of life and death in its tracks. As a lowly “Tarnished” warrior, you’ll square off against godlike creatures to stitch the realm back together and claim your throne as Elden Lord.
With the recent Shadow of the Erdtree expansion (not included), tons of players have been returning to Elden Ring, so now’s the perfect time to join them.

Persona 3 Reload
Another personal favorite from all the way back in the PS2 era, Persona 3 Reload takes fans back to where the Persona franchise started to make a big impression on western players. As a Japanese high school student joining a new school, you’re thrust into a supernatural double-life: Spend the day making friends and studying, then spend the night battling your way to the top of a labyrinthine dungeon to save the world.
Persona 3 introduced the series’ signature “Social Link” system–where your monster-fighting abilities grow as you get closer with your classmates in school–and paved the way for a pair of increasingly popular sequels, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal. The remake adds animated cutscenes and convenient updates to the gameplay that make it a bit more approachable for new (and returning) players.

The Last of Us: Part I
HBO’s excellent adaptation of The Last of Us introduced a lot of new people to Joel, Ellie and the Cordyceps apocalypse, but seeing the story and playing it are two very different things. Even after a decade, it is one of the best PlayStation games ever, and this PS5 semi-remake brings the game to life in a way that the original PS3 simply couldn’t.
With updated visuals, DualSense-powered haptic feedback, and improved audio, this is the definitive edition of what may very well be Naughty Dog's defining effort. (Don't tell Crash Bandicoot I said that, though.)

Resident Evil 4 (2023)
Even if you aren’t a Resident Evil devotee, or even a horror fan, Resident Evil 4 is worth your time. A PS5 reimagining of the 2005 GameCube classic, which critics routinely consider among the best games ever made, this action-packed zombie adventure follows Secret Service agent Leon S. Kennedy as he searches for the President's kidnapped daughter in rural Spain.
In true Resident Evil fashion, it doesn't take long for him to run into hordes of infected creatures who chase him with pitchforks, chainsaws, gnashing teeth, and other monstrous limbs. Fans of cinematic knife-play, bad puns, and incredible boss fights will all fall in love.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Returning to the series' 2D roots, The Lost Crown was an early 2024 gem that went largely unnoticed. A tight action-platformer, it features intricate combat, puzzles that will require precise execution, and impressive visuals–Not to mention a map that'll leave you twisted in knots.
This is the kind of game that demands a lot from its players, and rewards the ones who master it with immense satisfaction. The fact that it's significantly cheaper than other games on our list is a bonus, too.

God of War Ragnarok
Arguably the most anticipated PlayStation follow-up since The Last Of Us 2, God of War Ragnarok gives the fans more of what they loved about the 2018 reboot-sequel–Axe-throwing, throat-ripping god-on-god combat, including the Kratos vs. Thor clash we were all waiting for.
It features the same weighty Souls-inspired combat of its predecessor, along with its grim (and surprisingly touching) narrative that sees the Greek deity and his son Atreus fighting to survive against the coming apocalypse. If you own a PS5 and you haven't already played this game, what exactly are you waiting for? The Norse gods aren't going to slay themselves.

Returnal
Perhaps the most underrated PlayStation exclusive of the generation, Returnal grafts survival horror suspense and frantic run-and-gun third-person shooter action onto the ever-popular “roguelike” run-based structure.
As stranded interstellar astronaut Selene, explore a mysterious planet for as long as you can until you fall, only to wake up again where you started after every death. Every time Selene dies and gets reborn, the world changes, prompting her to question her circumstances… and her sanity.
A profoundly challenging experience that even seasoned gamers may struggle to finish, Returnal is not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking for a serious challenge unlike anything you’ve played before, take a chance on this one while the price is low.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage
Assassin's Creed: Mirage returns to the stealthy gameplay that put the series on the map. Set in 9th-Century Baghdad, you play as Basim, who gets caught up in a vast conspiracy and joins the “Hidden Ones,” precursor to the titular Order of Assassins, in their shadow war with the Order of the Ancients. Leap from rooftop to rooftop, collect information, and stalk your target so you can strike when they least expect it.
Mirage explores the origins of the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars, and features the beautifully recreated, lifelike ancient city that the Assassin's Creed series is so known for. For those who remember the 2000s heyday of the series–or for those who are simply curious about history–this is the perfect Prime Day pickup.

SN850X 1TB M.2 2280 SSD Hard Drive
Expanding your PS5's storage with a compatible SSD is always a pricey proposition. A Prime Day deal on Western Digital's "WD_Black" line of PS5-ready "gaming" drives gives you a very solid discount on a 1TB drive, which more than doubles your console's storage. You may find yourself deleting games from time to time, but it won't be nearly as often.

Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Controller
Do you ever wish you could use an Xbox controller on your PS5? Well, the Victrix Pro BFG has modular button panels, so you can swap the position of the left analog stick and D-pad for a more ergonomic setup.
In fact, every facet of this controller is customizable: There are multiple analog stick options and d-pads. You can even take out the right stick and face buttons and replace them a six-button "fightpad" setup. If you're looking for a competitive edge in, let's say, Call of Duty, Short-travel hair triggers and four rear paddles allow you to maximize your lightning reflexes.
The Victrix Pro BFG is the most customizable third-party controller of the PS5 era, and you can pick up right now on the (relative) cheap.

Pro X Gaming Headset
One of our favorite gaming headsets is deeply discounted for Prime Day, and it's more than worth your consideration. The Logitech G Pro X punches well above its weight class, delivering detailed game sound and clear voice quality. (I love its smooth, all-black style, too.)
These cans feature swappable leatherette and velour ear pads for maximum comfort, and also support 7.1 surround sound, so you always know where the bad guys are coming from. The Pro X headset works with every major gaming system on the market, so if you have both a PS5 and a PC, you can use it with both. It’s a great headset that delivers a lot for your money, so give it a look.
