PlayStation updates its game offerings for PS4 and PS5 as it prepares for the arrival of the new PS6

In recent weeks, PlayStation users In different regions they have noticed changes in the digital store without Sony having issued an official statement. Two new features are progressively appearing in PS4 and PS5: a shows the lowest price of each game in the last 30 daysand the other allows write detailed reviewsalthough only from the web version of the store.

The cheapest deals on PlayStation for gamers

The first novelty is seen directly browse the PS Store from the console. Below the game's title and its average rating, a line now appears that says: “Lowest price in the last 30 days: $XX.XX”. This applies to both new games and titles on sale.

The feature is active on consoles Mexico, the United States, Spain and several South American countriesaccording to user reports on Reddit and specialized forums. It is not available on the PlayStation website or its mobile applicationwhich suggests that Sony is testing it first in the most used environment for purchasing: the console itself.

This tool responds to a long-standing demand from the community. For years, hePlayers have turned to external sites like psprices.com or gg.deals to track when a game reached its minimum price. Now, at least partially, that information is integrated directly into Sony's interface.

However, the 30-day limit draws criticism. Many games don't go on sale more than once a month, and when they do, they usually maintain the same discount throughout the entire promotion. In those cases, the system shows the same current value as “lowest price”, which does not provide useful information. Some users point out that It would be more practical to show the lowest price of the last 6 or 12 monthsas other platforms do.

Review of games on PlayStation

The second update is focused on community participation. From the web version of the PlayStation Store (store.playstation.com), users who have purchased a game in digital format can post a review of up to 4,000 characters. Previously, it was only possible to give a star rating. Now, anyone who has played the title can describe their experience, highlight technical, narrative or gameplay aspects, and warn of possible problems.

There are clear conditions for publishing:

• The game must be in the user's digital library as a purchased product (does not include games obtained only through PlayStation Plus without additional purchase).

• Reviews go through automated filtering and human review before appearing publicly.

• You are not allowed to post reviews if you only own a physical copy of the game.

This measure brings PlayStation Store to the platform model like Steamwhere the opinions of other players influence purchasing decisions. Although Sony has not explained whether it plans to bring this feature to the console, its implementation on the web marks a shift towards a more interactive store.

Both updates come in a context of transition. The PS5 remains Sony's main consolewith more than 58 million units sold until mid-2025, but the company is already working on the PS6whose launch expected in 2027. In the meantime, it is keeping the PS4 catalog active – which still represents a significant portion of digital sales – and strengthening its ecosystem with gradual improvements to the store.
