If you’re a long-time PlayStation fan, then you’ll know the January Sale is the big ‘un. To be honest, you could save your money all year long and pick up 12 months of games from this flagship annual event. As a result, we suspect some of you may be wondering when the PS Store will be getting this veritable onslaught of digital deals.
Sony, surprisingly, is remaining schtum, but last year the sale launched on the Wednesday before Christmas Day. A bunch of incumbent PS Store sales, like the End of Year Deals, are scheduled to expire on 21st December, which just so happens to be the Wednesday before Xmas. As such, we strongly suspect the platform holder to launch its January Sale on the aforementioned date.
Last year, the event spanned thousands of games, with tentpole PS5 exclusives included in the mix. We fully expect the same this year, so you may want to get your wishlist in order over the coming days. The January Sale usually runs throughout the Christmas and New Year period, and tends to get expanded after the holiday break, too.
Is there anything you’re hoping to pick up on the cheap during the festive period? Sit tight for the big one in the comments section below.

Elden Ring..For me..
My wishlist is getting pretty big so I could use a good sale.
CoD Cold War. Just need an easy FPS.
several indies that i wanna buy
-Ender Lilies
-Sword of The Vagrant (i dunno, maybe get it at $5).
-TMNT Shredder
-and maybe some season pass dlc
I'm waiting for this sale myself.
Just managed to get a PS5 so back to team Blue. Very keen to get Returnal, Elden Ring and Nioh 2.
Looking forward to this, it's always massive - I've been stocking up on a few discounted PS Store Gift Cards so I've got a healthy balance going in.
Unfortunately much of what I’m wanting to purchase hasn’t even come out yet and the few things I do want, I want to purchase the physical copy so my son can play it when I’m done with it. I’m looking at you GOD OF WAR: Ragnarok 😉 The nice thing is, many retailers typically have sales on the same games as what’s on the PS Store since they have to compete 👍🏽
Thanls for the heads up. Now that you mentioned it, I do remember getting a few good deals on Xmas.
Isn't the Christmas deals coming first?
LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Ratchet and Clank (given it never appeared on Extra as many speculated).
They might launch the January sale..... In January?
Can't think of anything I really want that I don't already have.
Next game I'm looking at is Forspoken, if they can give me half off a pre order I'd really appreciate that.
January Sale, you say? This will be my first.
Hoping to see Odin Sphere Leifthrasir back on sale, as I didn’t have the 10 bucks last time. I also wouldn’t mind that new Valkyrie game getting a steep discount.
If nothing else maybe I’ll grab Persona Dancing in Moonlight before the current sale is off and check that out (while my wife wonders what on earth has taken hold of me)
Interesting, will have to keep an eye out to see what I can add to my backlog
Unless it's an absolute must play going for next to nothing, I can't possibly add any more to the backlog.
I hope some the Atelier trilogy packs drop to the £30 mark.
Finished both Ryza games and have been wanting to see how the older games are.
MH Iceborne has been £16.24 for the past 100 years I've kinda given up. The amount of gameplay available in Elden Ring has helped me in resisting a lot of sale temptations. This January sale though, I think I'll pick something up.
Do we get to know what's going to be on sale in advance? Seems usually sales just show up or sometimes the day before here we get a partial list.
I have lots on my wishlist, 100,,but would be more if it wasn't the max limit.
My backlog is worse lol.
So in a way im not in a hurry, but always anxious to try still unbought games from my wanted list.
Plus dlcs for some of my games.
Since Extra, I'm a lot more resistant and reluctant to participate in these sales, even with the dirt cheap Turkey PSN pricing levels.
Hoping to get Resident Evil Village (down to $19 on Xbox) in time for the PSVR2 launch. Might give Elden Ring another go too. Souls games aren't really my thing but ten hours with ER almost changed my mind... until I traded it for Dying Light 2.
I mean, Saints Row is currently £22 on disc, so something like that digitally then maybe it would be worth the headache to try out 😅
@Realist they always launch it way early to be fair 😄
holiday sale 2021 started dec17 last year
kinda disappointed theres no holiday sale this year
For me, I'm just waiting for the first The Last of Us (PS4) to be discounted back to what it used to be ever so often so I can get it and complete my PS4 backlog, then I'll start buying again when the PS5 games start dropping below my threshold
@BigBigToe returnal is free with ps plus extra.
Guys, be carefull. Having in mind how many games are coming in 2023, we would need to play 24/7 to finish them all 🤣🤣🤣
@Sergo thanks but I don't do subscriptions.
Wise words, @Sergo
@WizzNL yeah but holiday sale last year starts a week before xmas and ends after new year
@Sevenifity Ender Lillies is fantastic, I got the platinum in no time at all it was so enjoyable.
Picked up Sword of the Vagrant for £8 on switch enjoying it so far but combat is pretty bare bones to begin with.
@WizzNL lol what im saying is there should be a holiday sale last week, if im not mistaken theres also another sale during the holiday sale last year, so im expectin that aside from end of the year there should also be a holiday sale
Would have to be a spectacular discount for me to jump in this time given games i bought over black friday and hope to get for christmas
There's always a few must have games missing in my library but they're gonna have to be hugely discounted for me to bite. Backlog library is already so huge
@Father-Noo please, please do play Uncharted 2 as soon as you can. You'll only thank yourself!
I want Spirit of Sanada. And maybe Blue Reflection. I'll only be buying exclusives on Sony.
Sammy's talking this up like its the Second Coming. 😂 Sony does so many of these kinds of sales that I haven't paid attention to the specifics in years. Apparently the January Sale from last year was disappointing, so I won't get my hopes up.
I want Tunic to drop down to $20.
I'll be skipping this sale, my backlog is in the 400s and crying for my attention.
