The Mid-Year, Level Up, and Games Under $20 sales are all running right nowThe PlayStation Store is hosting three major sales (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/pages/deals/) (and a "Deal of the Week (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/f65229a4-503b-4811-8930-58fec83ae298/1)" promo on The Sims 4), so there are a lot of discounts floating around right now ? even more than normal. There's a Mid-Year sale (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/ad1532dc-1821-4c26-b98c-1262f7e2c048/1) on big PS4 and PS5 games, a Level Up sale (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/34b9c41e-10e7-410f-ba21-83e9e745aece/1) on DLC and expansions, and a Games Under $20 sale (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/30826e82-088f-4cc2-aaa4-81507aa31353/1) with indies, hidden gems, and older titles.
Where to start? I never know. I'm just going to toss out some chaotic recommendations.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1001-CUSA23766_00-0SIEAPS4DAFFODIL) ($47.99 for PS4; $71.99 for PS4/PS5 with the Season Pass) and Riders Republic (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0001-PPSA01374_00-MADSTANDARTED000) ($23.99) are two games I ended up enjoying far more than I would've expected. The former had a not-too-jarring D&D-ish story campaign, and the latter was a good way to unwind in a care-free extreme-sports open world with fun traversal options.
If you're looking to fill the Elden Ring-sized hole in your heart, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA12047_00-SEKIROGAME000001) ($29.99) is waiting, as always. You might have some whiplash ? Elden Ring has so many potential builds, while Sekiro is super focused with a bit of wiggle room ? but it's worth putting time into. When everything finally clicks into place, few games pay off better.
You might find a hidden gem in the Games Under $20 section, which is usually the most exciting place to poke around. Here are some assorted deals that stood out to me.

The Mid-Year, Level Up, and Games Under $20 sales are running through July 6, while the Sims 4 deals, including expansions like Cottage Living, are here through June 29. My fianc?e adds another expansion to her collection every time there's a discount like this, and I swear there's no end in sight. Every time I check back in, everyone's all grown up.
I've been on the fence about upgrading to PlayStation Plus Extra lately, but I have plenty to play as is, and my backlog-clearing pace can't keep up with PlayStation Store sales. (Should I keep chipping away at collectibles in Ghostwire Tokyo? No. But I can't help myself.)
I do hope more people give Sekiro a chance. I want to see it climb the FromSoft tier list.
