These are the 7 PS5 games I would buy this Prime Day

1. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut | $69.99 $28.99 at Amazon
Save $40 - This is the cheapest I've ever seen Ghost of Tsushima's stunning Director's Cut. At almost half off, the value in savings here is worth picking up Sucker Punch's samurai hack n' slash a few years late to the party.

Buy it if:
✅ You love open world exploration
✅ Historical action games are your vice
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're experiencing RPG fatigue
❌ You wanted a longer experience

Octopath Traveler 2 | $59.99 $28.49 at Amazon
Save $31 - This recent release has a killer Prime Day deal on at the moment, and it's the cheapest I've seen it going for yet. If you're looking for some affordable games to add to your PS5 repertoire, you could do a lot worse than this JRPG from a beloved Japanese developer.

Buy it if:
✅ You're a fan of pixel JRPGs
✅ You've had it on your wishlist since launch

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition | $69.99 $39 at Amazon
Save $31 -  With Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launching soon, it's as good a time as ever to see what Peter's pal Miles has been up to. At 44% off, this is one of the cheapest price points I've yet to see the PS5 Ultimate Edition sit at. It's well worth picking up if you're looking for a sweet PS5 deal that likely won't stick around for long.

Sonic Frontiers | $59.99 $29.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - I've never seen Sonic Frontiers at such a low price, especially on PS5. Everyone's favorite blye hedgehog is at an incredible value-for-money deal on Amazon right now for Prime Day, a rarity for such a recent release. What's more, its universal rating means you can even play it with your kid brother.

Buy it if:
✅ You love yourself some Sonic

Street Fighter 6 | $69.99 $47.95 at Amazon
Save $22 -  Having just released this year, this is a record low price for Capcom's Street Fighter 6. The side-long brawler is the most recent iteration of a classic series, and you're unlikely to see it get much cheaper than this in the run-up to Black Friday. It also runs brilliantly on PS5, so you'll be treated to some stunning 60 FPS graphics too.

Buy it if:
✅ You've been waiting for the right time to buy it
✅ Nostalgic games are your favorites
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're not super desperate to play - it could go lower
❌ You need more substance than just punching stuff
