The PlayStation Store’s Critic’s Choice sale is nearing its conclusion, wrapping up on the twelfth of February. That’s when the curtain falls on the chance to snag some of the most celebrated games to hit the PlayStation platform, with discounts reaching up to a whopping 75%. Of course, there’ll be another sale down the line, but right now is the perfect opportunity to grab those fantastic games you’ve had your eye on, including a Game of the Year-winning RPG from the 2015 Game Awards.
Let’s talk about a standout deal: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, an RPG by CD Projekt Red, is available for just $9.99 on the PS Store. Normally, this gem is priced at $49.99, so you’re looking at an incredible 80% off for PS5 owners. It’s an extraordinary offer, especially since this is the Complete Edition. Yes, you get the original game plus its two massive story expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. In other words, hundreds of gaming hours bundled into one extremely affordable package. But don’t forget, this offer is as ephemeral as it is enticing, vanishing after February 13 at 2:59 a.m. ET, or for those on the west coast, by February 12 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
The game casts you in the role of Geralt of Rivia, a mercenary and monster slayer in a world teeming with danger and wonder. As the narrative goes, your mission is to track down Ciri, known as the Child of Prophecy, a figure with the power to change the world’s fate.
Since its 2015 debut, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been met with universal acclaim, boasting a remarkable average score of 92 from 79 critic reviews on Metacritic. Its success even paved the way for a hit Netflix series, originally featuring Henry Cavill as Geralt. However, Cavill has since departed, with Liam Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role for the new season.
