Oh man, the PlayStation Store just doesn’t sleep, does it? One sale ends, and bam, another pops up. This time we’ve got the “Big Games Big Deals” fiesta. If you’re into grabbing PS4 and PS5 games without breaking the bank, this is your jam. You can get up to a whopping 70% off. Wild, right? And, yeah, you guessed it — NieR: Automata is up on the block, slashed at 60% off. What a steal!
So, NieR: Automata, specifically the Game of the YoRHa Edition, is going for $15.99 right now. Normally it’s almost 40 bucks. But hey, don’t dawdle. This deal vanishes on May 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Why 2:59 a.m.? No clue. But that’s the weird world of promotions for you.
What’s up with the game? Well, according to the blurb I tripped over (metaphorically, of course), aliens decided to crash the party — surprise, surprise. Machines are raining down, and humanity’s hitting back with a brand new crew of androids, the YoRHa squad. Action-packed? You bet. And the story’s got layers like a mystery novel you can’t put down.
The special edition’s packed with extras (oh, shiny things) — that’s where it gets juicy. You get all these bizarrely named skins, a Machine Mask, and even a dynamic theme if that’s your thing. Piece of cake, right? Here’s the rundown:
– 3C3C1D119440927 DLC (yeah, try saying that five times fast)
– A bunch of Pod Skins (Play System, Retro, Cardboard — who thought of these?)
– Grimoire Weiss Pod
– Amazarashi Head Pod Skin
– Machine Mask Accessory
– PS4 Dynamic Theme
– PS4 Avatars Set
And guess what? There’s a demo you can dive into before committing. Might help you decide if this chaotic universe is your cup of tea.
Back in 2017, when NieR: Automata first dropped, it made quite the splash. Critics were raving everywhere I looked, and it snagged a score of 88 on Metacritic. Not too shabby, eh? It even picked up some nice hardware — Best Score/Music, Role-Playing Game of the Year, to name a few. Guess it’s not just flowery language after all.
So there you go. A deal, a chaotic game universe, and some flashy extras. What’s not to love?
