Prime Day 2026 Is Over, But These PS5 Game Deals Are Still Live

Prime Day 2026 Is Over ?" But the PS5 Game Deals Aren't Gone Yet

Amazon's Prime Day 2026 may have officially wrapped up, but savvy PlayStation 5 gamers still have a narrow window to capitalize on some of the best physical game discounts of the year. According to GameCross, whose deal-hunting coverage has become a go-to resource for budget-conscious console players, the vast majority of the most compelling offers remain live ?" and a few hidden gems are still sitting at jaw-dropping prices. Here's a curated breakdown of the deals worth knowing about before they disappear for good.

The Headline Deal: Lost Soul Aside at 83% Off

If there's one deal dominating the conversation right now, it's Lost Soul Aside, currently available for just $9.99 ?" an eye-popping 83% discount from its original retail price. The game has been a lightning rod of discussion since the discount went live, generating enough buzz that GameStop actually had to step in and limit purchases to one copy per customer after a resale glitch briefly turned the title into an unlikely money-making scheme.

"I want to meet all the people who have been hoarding copies of Lost Soul Aside. Maybe it was just to resell them." ?" GameCross

Apparently, a quirk in GameStop's trade-in system briefly allowed buyers to flip copies of the game for roughly $6 in profit ?" prompting the retailer to cap purchases at one per customer. It's the kind of absurd story that only happens during the chaos of a major sales event.

As for the game itself, GameCross offered a refreshingly honest assessment. The voice acting is, by his own admission, "absolute crap" ?" and apparently there's an early scene so bad it will make you laugh out loud. But at $9.99, the calculus changes entirely. The gameplay has a nostalgic double-A PlayStation 2 era charm, and the Amazon rating of 4.3 suggests a quietly appreciative audience. GameCross himself would give it a 6 out of 10 ?" not a recommendation to pay full price, but a reasonable one at this discount. He also noted that the game is likely headed to PlayStation Plus Extra in the near future, so if a physical copy matters to you, now is the time.

A Timeless Masterpiece: Elden Ring for $19.99

Few games have held their value with the stubbornness of Elden Ring, which makes its Prime Day price of $19.99 all the more remarkable. The FromSoftware epic typically sits at $36 or higher on the PlayStation Store, and GameCross sees little reason to expect that to change anytime soon.

"Elden Ring is just one of those games that, like Baldur's Gate 3, will fit into this category for years to come. It will simply stay in price and may never get cheaper than $30." ?" GameCross

To illustrate the point, he drew a compelling comparison: Dark Souls 3 is now a decade old, and the base game alone still retails for $30, with the complete edition commanding $42.50. Elden Ring, a game of equal or greater cultural stature, is unlikely to ever truly crater in price ?" which makes a sub-$20 copy a genuinely rare opportunity.

Even for those who aren't typically drawn to Soulslike games, GameCross gave the title his personal stamp of approval ?" noting that he completed it in full despite the genre not being his preferred style. The sheer density of the open world, with its seemingly endless secrets and discoveries, makes it an experience that rewards patience and curiosity in equal measure. For newcomers worried about difficulty, his advice is simple: keep a guide handy, and don't be afraid to lean on it.

A Modern Classic: Clair Obscur ?" Expedition 33 at $39.99

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrives on this list as one of GameCross's most enthusiastically personal recommendations. Named his co-game of the year for 2025 alongside Death Stranding 2, the RPG is available at 20% off for $39.99 ?" a modest discount, but one that reflects the game's continued cultural momentum.

"Expedition 33 is simply fantastic. The visual effects are wonderful. The soundtrack is incredible. The characters are likable, and the plot is absolutely fantastic." ?" GameCross

It's worth noting that the game is holding its price with the tenacity of a proven hit, so deeper discounts may be a long time coming. For JRPG enthusiasts or anyone who missed it at launch, $40 for what many consider one of the finest games of recent years represents solid value.

Compact and Compelling: Mafia ?" The Old Country at $29.99

Not every great game needs to be a 100-hour open-world epic. Mafia: The Old Country, available at 25% off for $29.99, makes a strong case for the focused, narrative-driven experience ?" clocking in at around 10 hours without unnecessary padding. GameCross was candid about the divisiveness of the game's story, acknowledging that some players were unhappy with how certain plot threads resolved, but maintained that the overall experience was well worth the journey.

With DLC on the horizon later this year, now is a smart time to get in on the ground floor at a reduced price. It's the kind of game that rewards players who appreciate craftsmanship over sheer scale.

For the Fans: My Hero Academia ?" All Might Is Justice at $29.99

Anime arena fighters occupy a specific and devoted niche in the gaming world, and My Hero Academia: All Might Is Justice ?" released earlier this year ?" is now available at 50% off for $29.99. GameCross framed it within a broader observation about the genre's maturation: titles like Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles and the Naruto Storm series have helped raise the baseline quality of anime adaptations considerably over the past several years.

The caveat, as always with these titles, is that they're primarily made for fans of the source material. Unlike Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot ?" which has crossover appeal for non-fans ?" All Might Is Justice is best appreciated by those already invested in the My Hero Academia universe. For that audience, half off on a brand-new release is a compelling proposition.

JRPG Treasures: Dragon Quest, Digimon, Metaphor, and More

Prime Day 2026 turned out to be an unexpectedly strong moment for Japanese RPG fans, with several notable titles seeing significant price cuts.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake ?" $24.99 (58% Off)

Square Enix's stunning visual reimagining of a classic is available at a remarkable 58% discount. Also on sale is the combined Dragon Quest 1 and 2 package for $39.99. For anyone looking to explore the legendary trilogy in order, GameCross offered a handy tip: the narrative sequence runs DQ3, then DQ1, then DQ2 ?" so starting with the remake is the right move, both chronologically and in terms of getting the best deal.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger ?" $30

One of the more spirited recommendations in the entire roundup, Digimon Story: Time Stranger earned genuine enthusiasm from GameCross ?" who argued that the game transcends its franchise roots to deliver a well-crafted, narratively mature turn-based JRPG that even non-Digimon fans can appreciate.

"People will be pleasantly surprised by how mature the Digimon story can be and how much darker it can be." ?" GameCross

For players who have long dismissed the franchise as a Pokémon knockoff, Time Stranger may be the game that finally changes that perception. At $30, the risk of discovery is low.

Metaphor: ReFantazio ?" $25

Technically outside the official Prime Day sale, but too good to ignore: Metaphor: ReFantazio has dropped to just $25 ?" a fantastic price for one of the most acclaimed RPGs in recent memory. For JRPG enthusiasts building a library, this one belongs on the shelf.

Additional Picks Worth Your Attention

Rounding out the list are a pair of titles catering to distinct gaming appetites. Octopath Traveler Zero, Square Enix's console adaptation of its mobile RPG, is available for $35 ?" holding its price as a relatively recent December release, but offering the franchise's signature HD-2D aesthetic in an expanded and improved form for PlayStation 5.

For those with a soft spot for handheld-era classics, the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is down to $28.49. GameCross acknowledged the inherent clunkiness of the Nintendo DS-era interface on a modern console, but noted that rumors of a full-scale remake from Capcom are circulating ?" making this a potentially timely purchase for longtime fans. For newcomers to the Mega Man universe, he recommends starting with the Mega Man Battle Network collection first, as Star Force grew directly out of that lineage.

Act Fast ?" But Don't Panic

With Prime Day officially in the rearview mirror, some titles ?" most notably the Silent Hill 2 remake ?" have already sold out or been pulled from the sale. But GameCross's assessment as of publication is that the overwhelming majority of deals covered here remain live and available. Stock levels at this stage of a post-sale window can fluctuate rapidly, so checking sooner rather than later is strongly advised.

Whether you're hunting for a critically acclaimed masterpiece at a bargain price, a niche JRPG to lose yourself in for weeks, or simply a fun game that won't break the bank, this post-Prime Day window represents one of the better buying opportunities PS5 owners have seen all year. Check the links, trust your taste, and pick up something worth playing.
