With the PS Store host to 1,000s of must play games these days, you’re probably wondering whether you need to raid a bank to afford them all. Fortunately, Sony is sending out discount codes to select PSN members, offering a 10 per cent discount on any transaction through most of February. Not everyone on the Push Square team has received one of these, but it’s worth keeping an eye on your inbox to see if you’ve been selected.
The voucher can be applied to one full checkout, so you can add multiple games and add-ons to your basket and save across all of them. While you’ll need to purchase through the PS App – this seems designed to get you into the rhythm of using Sony’s smartphone software – that’s no hardship seeing as the tool is in a great place these days. All you have to do is enter your unique code during the payment process – easy-peasy, and the savings are not to be sniffed at.
Did you get a code from Sony at all? If so, what will you be using it on? Remember, there are a new set of deals on the PS Store today, so you can compound your savings if you got one of these codes. Happy days!

Rarely buy full priced games digitally, but I’ve bought a lot of VR2 game and Hogwarts recently. Kind of hoping I don’t get this discount or I’ll be cursing my luck, lol.
@thefourfoldroot1 It's valid through most of February so still plenty of time to use it. But I see your point!
I have never ever received a voucher from Sony or Microsoft for store credit or discount except for 20% off a game I never heard (Mass Effect something) even though I have spent a lot the previous years... I am just unlucky I guess?
I occasionally receive useless stuff like themes though.
@Cpt-Price If it eases your pain, I also didn't get a code and have spent similarly stupid amounts on the PS Store since the PS3 launched.
I don't really know what the selection process is for things like this. They may be sending them out in waves, though, so keep your eyes peeled.
Yep, I’ve got a 10% discount code. Trouble is, I buy pretty much all my PS5 games physically. There may be a digital-only game on the store I can find before the code expires.
I’m in hospital at the moment – had a severe Crohn’s flare up on Monday. I’m nil by mouth and due for an MRI tomorrow – so it’d be nice to treat myself to something like Chicory: A Colorful Tale or Inscryption when I’m eventually discharged.
My Xbox fanboy friend gets all sorts of things from Sony like movie tickets on two occasions, a PSVR2 pre-order invitation, and a PS5 invitation. I get nothing. I'll have to check with him to see if he got one of these coupons. I doubt I will.
@The_Pixel_King It's crazy to me, but I still don't own a physical PS5 game! It's not even like I'm doing this on purpose either — I'm fine with both physical and digital — so I think it really shows how the times have changed.
@TheCollector316 I wonder if it's because they really want to entice him over, whereas with you they know you're a loyal customer already.
It shouldn't be this way, of course, but would maybe explain the reasoning. Either that or just weird luck.
Nice, just checked my emails and I’ve got the discount l usually get nowt.
@Cpt-Price me either
I rarely purchase anything on the PS Store (except v-bucks occasionally) and I didn’t get a code. I wonder what the criteria is?
Just got one, I do spend a hefty amount on the store and also pre-ordered a PSVR2, not sure if it's got anything to do with it though.
Going to wait to last minute to spend in case of new PSVR2 announcements/pricing confirmations nearer to launch.
Nothing for me, not yet anyway. Too bad, as I plan to buy at least one or two things this month.
Do we know if it's for select countries (e.g. US/UK), or has anyone from Europe received a discount code already?
Does anyone know if it can be used for Pre-Orders? I plan on pre-ordering EA PGA and will already have 10% off through EA subscription so hoping to take another 10% off with this.
Must be very targeted. Like how I receive no offers on my first Uber Eats account that I used to use regularly, while getting huge discounts weekly on my newer account that I only use sparingly.
They ain't slick
I usually buy physical but if I get the code (haven’t checked), I’ll probably buy some VNs or something that has hard to come by physical versions. Doubt I pick up a banger at $60 for just $6 off.
My advice: wait until a day before this new sale ends. You’ll have a bigger selection since another sale will drop a day before the old one wanes away.
Nothing for me sadly. Glad some of you will be getting a discount.
Happy days I've got a code, that can go to one of the PSVR2 games, perhaps Moss 2
@get2sammyb It’s kind of interesting how many people view these discount codes as a reward. As someone who worked in the nefarious field of marketing many years ago, these campaigns are usually about recapturing lapsed customers or squeezing an extra sale out of mid-tier shoppers. If you already spend a ton at the store, the marketing team has already done its job and there’s no reason to incentivize you.
Most of the people i see getting it buys physical. Perhaps it's Sony's way to get physical buyers to buy more digital?
I prefer systems like Nintendo has that reward spending money in their digital ecosystem (5% back on digital purchases via gold coins; vouchers for first-party games that shave 16% or so off MSRP), to these sort of randomized rewards.
@The_Pixel_King Not game related but being a Crohn's suffer I can kind of understand how you must be feeling. Hope you recover real soon 😊
@get2sammyb I've got 2 physical PS5 games, Gran Turismo 7 which came bundled with it and Terminator because it was cheap on Amazon, the rest being digital
I never get promo or invite emails from Sony for some reason Nothing from Sony, and from MS, I get marketing from them, got a few console buy invites, but never seem to get the targeted sale codes/free cash from them either...Between this and the weird Ubisoft "personal" offer pricing that some people are getting like 80-90% discounts (on XB) and other's don't, I'm definitely uncomfortable with this data driven individual pricing and selective coupons sudden reality.
@get2sammyb I do suspect that it has to do with spending...if you're already a digital customer, they aren't interested in courting us. And we were wearing the nice perfume and everything...
@Amnesiac Pretty much, yep!
I got emailed one and very much trying to resist the urge to buy a bunch of games from the store when I already have enough. Guilty Gear Strive (35%), Kena (55%) and RE Village (50%) is very tempting. I've also been meaning to pick up Chained Echoes and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth at some point
@Ralizah Didn't Nintendo get rid of the vouchers in the US long ago?
Not got anything, but to be fair, I buy a lot of physical; if these codes are driven by data, perhaps they know it is a losing battle with me so not bothering. A pity really, there are a few indie games I wouldn't mind getting.
I only buy digital I do wish there was some sort of return service even if I only got £1 back for most of the digital games I've purchased I'd gladly do it..will still only buy digital regardless
Nothing for PS stuff but I did get a £98 discount on Xbox for the complete edition of AC Valhalla yesterday. One hit one miss I guess.
@FOXHOUND_MGS5 Aww, thank you my friend. Crohn’s sure isn’t nice, and I feel for you, too. I was diagnosed in 2008 and have had to have bowel resections, 4-month hospital stays and even a near death experience. I’d been doing quite well recently, but this latest attack was real bad, proper 10/10 pain. I’m feeling much better now, but they want to keep me in for a few more days yet. And I was just one session away from finishing The Last of Us Part I 😞 Never mind, I’ll be home soon.
Thanks for reaching out, buddy. Means a lot. If you ever want to talk, hit me up. I’m here if you ever need a chat with someone who understands what you’re going through.
@NEStalgia Yes, but the promo for their return to the U.S. was already leaked, and they never left Europe.
I don't buy digital games, unless they go for crazy prices, like the recent 3€ for XCOM 2 deal.
@Ralizah Ohh, I missed a thing about their US return. That's encouraging. That was a really good promo (or at least as good as one will ever do on Nintendo, anyway....) and I think them keeping that in Europe and not in the US actually contributed from my drifting from them and only buying select tentpole exclusives (I.E. skipped Triangle strategy and Toothpaste-chan. )
@get2sammyb I got the bog standard email today "ps store/app has 1000's of games available" yeah, I know, that's where I buy all my games from these days, cheers Sony 😂
Maybe because I'm just a lowly tier 3 PS Stars member, because I'm not really a trophy hunter or completionist.
The app is handy too, a lot easier to buy games in and much better for messaging friends on than the console PSN interface.
If I got the 10% I'd probably just pre order Hogwarts Legacy, as 10% seems fair enough trade of for potential launch issues. Maybe stuff my back catalogue even fuller, and maybe even add on some time to Extra if that works with the discount too. Alas, we shall see if one arrives.
@Ravix can you let me know how you get on? I’m not sure if you can use discount codes for pre orders it isnt letting me!
@JackTag163 I didn't get the code, just if I do that's probably what I'd spend it on.
If it doesn't actually work for pre orders use it on launch day instead, as the code will still be active 😃
No code from Sony but I did receive an email from them regarding God of War Cosplay guide for....reasons.
@JP80 Like the gold points on Switch, would be good.
@NEStalgia The vouchers literally went live again today on the eshop. Better yet, I'm not seeing any sort of messaging about this being a "limited time" thing, so maybe they're here to stay.
Last time i tried, i couldn't even buy a game with the app.
@Ralizah I'm trying to keep expectations in check, but that would be a dream if true. Watch, they'll have almost no exclusives from here on which is why they're doing it, lol. I'll certainly be buying at least one voucher for BOTW2 + ....something. Maybe Toothepaste-chan will have a place after all.
@NEStalgia Using Microsoft Rewards points to redeem eshop codes on Amazon + gold coins + discounted eshop codes + vouchers are going to be an incredible combo for me.
So far, BotW2, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars 1 + 2 are no-brainers for me. Maybe the remake of that Wii Kirby game I never played as well. I already grabbed Fire Emblem Engage, so I won't be using it for that.
@Ralizah Oh, yeah Pikmin 4! Definitely needing at least one pair of vouchers, then. Forgot about AW 1 and 2. Adding FE:E to that (or Triangle Strat which STILL has not been on sale that I've seen!) might work too. Or a 4th copy of P5R which I seem to never actually play. I've now bought OG physical TYH edition, Royal on PS4, Royal on XB....and I've played like the first hour total. Why not Switch too?
Heck I haven't been using MS Rewards points on XB let alone Switch. I really have to get into that eventually. I JUST activated PS Stars the other day.
But I won't be buying vouchers this month because PSVR2 is going to bankrupt me
@get2sammyb I've also spent loads. Maybe they are sending them to people who have not used the App yet?
@thefourfoldroot1 can't use it on pre orders anyway I tried using it on pre ordering Hogwarts legacy
@Would_you_kindly
Ok, that’s good to know. Makes me feel a bit better. Planning to get a few more VR games, but would have been nice to get everything with 10% off. Still, I don’t even have the offer so it’s a moot point. Maybe it will go to people who haven’t bought anything digitally recently to get them back into it.
No voucher, just the email about the PSN collection going away 😔. They know I’d only use it to finally get Miles Morales for £15 or Horizon Zero Dawn for £33 😂 (they’re both on sale at the mo)
I am not the chosen one, sad.
For anyone who did get a voucher - can you share the subject line? So I know what to check for in my spam folder, just in case it got sent there? Strip out any personal info in the subject, of course!
@belmont Mass Effect series is excellent if you're into Sci-Fi RPGs.
The more you spend on PS store the less chance of getting the voucher it seems haha. But that does make business sense.
Never gotten a discount code from Playstation, I buy 90% of my games digitally, but my friend who never buys digital games has gotten 2 codes in like the past 5 years.
☹️ maybe somene send me a code for usa account. Not receive unfort....
And just now that im about to buy a pre order for dead island 2. Someone? Send private.i really apreciated.
Ohhh my psn vladspartan
Be welcome to send a friend request too.is always good have new friends to play with
@get2sammyb If I were you, I wouldn’t feel bad about not owning a PS5 physical game. Sometimes owning a physical game is a negative. For example, I own Witcher 3 on PS4 disc, and recently the owners of PS4 Witcher 3 got the free upgrade to the PS5 version…except I didn’t get the free upgrade because I own the disc and not the downloadable version. ☹️
