Crimson Desert Discounted to $49 on PS5

If Sony's decision to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games in 2028 has you thinking about building out your collection while you still can, Amazon has just opened up one of the best physical game deals we've seen in a while.

Amazon is offering Crimson Desert on PS5 for just $49, down from its usual $69.99 price tag, marking the lowest price seen for the game on the platform. This deal, identified by price tracker camelcamelcamel, presents a great opportunity for those waiting for a more budget-friendly time to dive into the game.

Described as a 'Lightning Deal' on Amazon, this offer comes with limited stock that will expire once the allocated quantity is sold. Time is running out to grab this discounted price.

Despite a mixed critical reception at launch, Crimson Desert has garnered a dedicated following, surpassing 6 million copies sold globally. Developer Pearl Abyss has been actively supporting the game with post-launch updates.

For those curious about the game's future direction, IGN's interview with Pearl Abyss's Director of Marketing and PR, Will Powers, during Summer Games Fest sheds light on the team's upcoming plans.

Furthermore, gamers looking to expand their physical collection can also explore various upcoming releases available for pre-order. Titles like Gears of War: E-Day, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered for Switch 2 are among the many options to reserve, following this year's summer gaming events.
