Sony is back yet again with another fantastic sale. If you haven’t been paying attention, PSN has been offering all kinds of discounts over the past few months for their digital storefront.
However, this September sale is bringing some of the biggest discounts we have seen to help round out the summer and add some fantastic games to your library for cheap!
The sale begins today and runs through Oct. 1, giving you a little over two weeks to make a decision on what to buy and offers over 100 different games and DLC to choose from.
If you find yourself paralyzed by choice, have no fear, we have compiled some of the best games you can buy during this PSN September sale.
Here are the 5 Best Games in the PSN September Savings Sale You Should Buy!
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
- Original Price: $29.99
- Sale Price: $4.49 (85% off)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided released back in 2016 and received stellar reviews. The game is a sequel to 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and it improves on many of the mechanics implemented by its predecessor.
If you have never played a Deus Ex game before, you are in for a treat as the game beautifully mixes open-world mechanics with stealth, RPG elements, and dialogue trees that give the game limitless replayability.
You take on the role of Adam Jensen, the gadget infused spy that sports a giant black trenchcoat and a pair of slick black sunglasses that he will never take off (even if he could).
Although his tone comes off as dull at times, he makes up for it with the massive amount of ass-kicking that he imparts on his foes.
Each decision you make during your time with the game impacts the overall story, giving you multiple ways to tackle the various missions you are given.
The game’s story is very compelling as it revolves around (but not limited to) the augmented versus the non-augmented people in the world and the trust that breaks down between the two sides.
Can regular humans trust those that are infused with cybernetic parts? Can the augmented be trusted to live amongst the non-augmented?
If you are thirsty for Cyberpunk 2077 and can’t wait for some futuristic cybernetic shenanigans, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a perfect appetizer to hold you off until Cyberpunk releases in April 2020.
For less than $5, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a perfect pick up for anyone who loves open-world, stealth, or action games during this PSN September sale.
Hitman: Game of the Year Edition
- Original Price: $59.99
- Sale Price: $14.99 (75% off)
Back in 2016, Hitman’s future was in flux. The franchise had become stale and lost some of the luster that made it a standout when it originally launched.
It was clear to developer IO Interactive that Hitman needed to go back to the drawing board. They decided it would be best to release Hitman in episodic fashion, releasing new maps every few weeks to keep players engaged.
Although that announcement raised eyebrows amongst gaming circles, the end product became one of the best games of 2016.
The constant release of new maps for players to explore and new targets to hunt gave Hitman new life and reinvigorated the series, making it the definitive way to play a Hitman game.
Each map released is jam-packed with detail. One walk around a map reveals just how much love and care went into each decision made as it is filled with detail and gorgeous scenery.
Whether its the random dialogue heard amongst NPC’s, sightlines from buildings to the various targets you hunt, or even just the absurd amount of items you can use to eliminate enemies, it is clear that Hitman not only revived itself, but elevated beyond what the previous games had done.
Hitman: Game of the Year Edition comes with all of the maps, outfits, weapons, and episodes that were once released in a piecemeal fashion.
For only $14.99, Hitman: Game of the Year Edition is loaded with content and an easy choice to grab during the PSN September sale.

However, if you take one hit from your opponent, they gain the advantage, allowing them the opportunity to run to their side of the screen until the end.

What easily starts out as a fun party game can easily become an intensely competitive battle between you and your friends as you learn the intricacies of the parry system and the advantages of the various weapons.
