For the decades that we've been playing games on PlayStation platforms, Japanese games have especially felt at home on Sony's various platforms. Over the years, major franchises such as Final Fantasy and Resident Evil have come to define the platform and given us some of its classic titles. With Golden Week around the corner, now is the perfect time to dive into them with a new sale headlining Japanese games over the next two weeks.
The latest big sale on the PlayStation Store has gone live, with the sale coming just in time to celebrate Golden Week in Japan, which begins on April 29, 2020. The "Big in Japan" Sale on the PlayStation Store, as its name implies, is all about celebrating Japan and the number of fan-favorite franchises that originated from the country. Dozens of titles are included in the Big in Japan Sale, making it easy to find something for everyone from major Japanese franchises such as Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Persona, Yakuza, and numerous others.
Taking a quick glance through the list of discounted titles, which offers up to 50% off on the included titles, there are a bunch of great deals that are definitely worth picking up. If you're in the mood for rhythm games, the Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection on PS4 for $21.99 is a steal, having played through all the games recently myself. Likewise, if you want to get started with the Yakuza series (like I'm about to do), many of the series' titles are available at a discount, giving the perfect opportunity to jump into it. Of course, you can also pick up Judgment for $29.99, which just happens to be DualShockers' 2019 Game of the Year Award winner.
The Big in Japan Sale on the PlayStation Store is currently running now through Friday, May 8 at 8am PT. You can check out the full list of titles and discount offers below:
