The Gamescom Sale is wrapping up on August 27, 2025, giving players one final day to grab deals before they’re gone. After that, Sony is kicking off a brand-new PlayStation promotion called the Ready, Set, Play Sale, launching August 27 and running until September 10.
The new sale offers discounts across blockbuster franchises, acclaimed indies, and fresh releases. Meanwhile, the Indie Sale will continue running for another week, overlapping with this promotion.

With the Gamescom Sale ending, and Ready, Set, Play running until September 10, timing matters. If you’re chasing the deepest discounts, it’s worth checking the full deal list once it goes live. Prioritize big-ticket AAA titles first since stock for digital bundles sometimes rotates early.
For those focused on indie experiences, hold off until the full sale launches and compare prices with the Indie Sale, which continues for another week. Games like Dredge, Chroma Squad, and Children of Morta are likely to have competitive discounts there as well.
The Ready, Set, Play Sale delivers an extensive lineup of offers, giving PlayStation players two weeks to stock up on discounted titles. Whether it’s catching up on Assassin’s Creed, grabbing Alan Wake 2, or exploring games like Scarlet Nexus and Death Stranding, there’s something for every library.
A complete discount breakdown will be available once the sale is fully live, so expect a deeper dive into the best-value pickups in the next update.
