Early Prime Day PS5 game sales

There’s not a lot going on PS5 at the moment, and no first-party PS5 games, but you can still grab some of the best third-party games for a respectable discount.

Like A Dragon Ishin - $39.99, SAVE 33%

Nearly a decade after the original game released, Sega finally localized Like A Dragon Ishin. It’s a spinoff set in 19th-century Japan, featuring familiar characters in significantly different roles. There’s plenty of the usual Yakuza charm and nonsense, and you can even start a little farm. The PS5 version and PS4 version are both on sale for the same price.
