It mentioned games like &#8220;Ghost of Y\u014dtei, Helldivers 2, Death Stranding 2 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered,&#8221; but there&#8217;s no word on whether these are portable or PlayStation Store-only deals. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> We&#8217;ll update this post with exact prices as soon as they go live &#8211; here&#8217;s our best guess for now:<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-days-of-play-playstation-store-game-deals\">PlayStation Store game deal dates<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the physical titles, there will be hundreds of digital titles for sale on the PlayStation Store, according to Sony.
