If you’ve missed out on some of the best exclusives PlayStation 4Â has to offer, Sony’s latest sale promotion could be just the one for you.
Kicking off yesterday and scheduled to run for two weeks until September 16th, this so-called Essential Picks includes a ton of games from almost every notable publisher and developer under the sun, including Naughty Dog. Indeed, despite being little more than a few months old, the studio’s latest release – The Last of Us Part 2 – is included in the sale, albeit with a smaller discount than older titles. Even so, a 16% saving on one of this year’s biggest releases is nothing to scoff at, and there’s plenty of other digital adventures up for grabs for a fraction of their usual asking price if Joel and Ellie’s second outing in post-apocalyptic America isn’t your jam.

It’s worth noting, as always, that this isn’t an exhaustive list, so if you’re looking for something that’s not seen up above, it’s always worth browsing the PlayStation Store (link below) for yourselves. As for our top picks: Naughty Dog’s aforementioned sequel, Santa Monica’s God of War soft reboot and Insomniac’s Spider-Man PS4 are the obvious frontrunners, though you can’t go wrong with any of Ubisoft’s past entries in the Assassin’s Creed franchise or, for that matter, Respawn’s terrific single-player Star Wars title, Fallen Order.
