Target has launched its new Summer Sale, discounting select physical PlayStation 5 games by up to 57%. The price drops represent a significant markdown on several high-profile releases. For players who still prefer their media on a physical shelf, it is a rare moment of retail gravity pulling prices downward.
The physical clearance features prominent titles such as Stellar Blade, Death Stranding 2, and Saros, according to Target's promotional listings.
The details
The sale has drawn extra attention as physical game collectors rush to stock up on disc media. With industry-wide shifts moving steadily toward digital-only distribution, retail clearances serve as a primary marker of the changing landscape for physical media ownership.
