Anyone who still buys physical PS5 games will be well aware that no matter what the release, you can expect it to get cheaper over time. Waiting a couple of months after a brand-new PS5 game drops is one of the best ways to save some hard-earned cash on the latest releases, this money-saving method just requires you to be a Jedi master at avoiding spoilers.
If the first few price drops never do it for you, then deals like Best Buy's Tech Fest are your best bet to add to your PS5 game collection for less. Right now, you can grab Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for $29.99, and Lego Horizon Adventures for $39.99 at Best Buy - an absolute bargain for Horizon fans. It's not just Aloy fans that can make a saving, as Tech Fest is filled with cheap PS5 game sales, with the iconic Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart now just $29.99 at Best Buy, too.
Of course, you could just wait even longer to see these prices drop even more. But not only would you be missing out on some of the best PS5 games out there, but there might be a long wait ahead for these record-lows to be beaten. Best Buy's Tech Fest ends in a matter of days (March 23) so just don't wait too long if you want to grab these deals while you still can.
Should you buy PS5 games in 2025?
As an avid collector of not just physical games, but especially physical PS5 games, I'm always going to be an advocate for picking up even more games. But whether or not you'll actually find value in adding to your PS5 game collection depends on a lot of factors.
For one, does your PS5 actually have a disc drive? That's a biggie. If you have a disc edition PS5, you're good to go. But if you're rocking an all-digital original PS5, a digital PS5 Slim, or the PS5 Pro, you won't be able to run any of these games. Course, you can grab the official PS5 disc drive, and you'll be great to go. But if you don't have one already, keep in mind they can be difficult to source, even now.
The next thing to consider, other than if you actually have the budget to afford any new games, is whether or not you have access to these games already. I'm pretty bad for picking up physical games even if I already have access to the digital version as a collector, but I fully appreciate not everyone is like me. Always make sure to check you haven't accidentally grabbed any of these games digitally through past PlayStation sales, or through PlayStation Plus.
If you have all that covered, it's really about whether or not you're still into physical games. With the regular price drops on physical PS5 releases, I find adding to my physical collection is the best way to save a ton of cash. Take Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - right now it's $49.99 on the PlayStation storefront you can access it straight from your console. But, if you grab it via this Best Buy deal, not only will you have a physical disc you can lend to a friend, but you can get the same game for just $29.99 instead.
Picking up physical PS5 games is one of the best ways to save on games, but it does come with a price, the price of less shelf space. Take it from someone who's drowning in PS5 games, be sure you have some space space set aside for any of these Best Buy asap - you'll thank me later.
