With Housemarque’s new game Saros on the horizon, now is a great time to boot up the developer’s previous release, Returnal. If you haven’t added this one to your library yet but have been waiting for a good time to grab it, this is your chance: Amazon’s dropped its price to $29.83 (see it here).
Considering it usually comes with a price tag of $69.99, this deal saves you 57% on the game overall. It’s also just a few dollars away from its lowest price point at the retailer of $24.70. That’s not too bad at all. Plus, there’s still plenty of time before Saros is released, so the timing of jumping into Returnal couldn’t be better. You’ve plenty of time to get a feel for Housemarque’s style of roguelike shooter before jumping into the studio’s new take on that formula.

It’s not just the discounted price that makes Returnal worth adding to your library, though. We’re very big fans of it, regardless of price. IGN’s Mitchell Saltzman said in his review back when it was initially released that the “moment-to-moment gameplay of Returnal is sublime, with a great selection of weapons that each have a wide variety of interesting possible traits, meaningful strategic decisions that can either keep a run afloat or doom it to sink, and punishingly challenging yet rewarding gunplay that is consistently exhilarating.”
If you’ve decided to pick up Returnal and are curious what other deals are out there right now, you’re in luck: PlayStation has recently kicked off a big sale at PlayStation Direct, which a few other retailers have joined in on, that features even more great game deals (and some nice accessory deals).
There’s even a selection of PS5 games on sale for $30 or less right now, if you want to see even more game deals in Returnal’s discounted price range.
