Jelly Deals: PSN sale, Xbox Deals with Gold and other digital discounts this week

NieR: Automata! Stellaris! Resident Evil 7! Indie stuff!

A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.


You guessed it, it's been another week chock-full of discounts and price cuts on downloadable games. Today, the UK PlayStation Store reduced just over 250 titles with some rather nice savings. On top of that, Green Man Gaming's having itself a seventh birthday sale and Humble's gone and made another new bundle. All that, and there's still the Xbox Live Deals with Gold to talk about. Let's just get right to it, shall we?

PSN EU Sale

The UK PlayStation Store was updated this morning with a whole batch of brand new price cuts. This should have extended to the other European PlayStation Stores as well but for now, we can only verify the UK's savings. Feel free to click these lovely links and find out for yourself (it should redirect to your local PSN store), but your mileage may vary. Nevertheless, there are some good offers, most notably NieR: Automata reduced to £34.99 and the entirety of Metal Gear Solid 5 for £11.99.

Some highlights:

Xbox Live Deals with Gold

Those of you who are both Xbox One owners and Xbox Live Gold members (the venn diagram of which I imagine resembles a near perfect circle) have access to some extra savings this week as a part of Microsoft's 'Deals with Gold' initiative. Here are some highlights:

Humble's offerings

Over at Humble, there is a couple of new developments. Firstly, the Humble Monthly subscription games have now switched over into a brand new set. On the bad side, that means the last month's worth of games are now unavailable. On the good side, it means a fresh set is coming and you can get instant access to space-trucking strategy 4X-esque game Stellaris when you sign up for $12 (about £10) right now.

The other new thing is, of course, a brand new Humble Bundle. This time, it's the Humble 'TinyBuild' Bundle, which brings together up to twelve of indie publisher TinyBuild's games in a 'Pay what you want' model bundle, including a pre-order for the upcoming stalk 'em up Hello Neighbor. Here's the line-up:

Pay what you want

  • Divide by Sheep
  • Road to Balhalla
  • No Time To Explain Remastered
  • SpeedRunners

Pay more than the average

  • Party Hard
  • The Final Station

  • Guts and Glory (Early Access)

That's all for now, although it's been a pretty full week of short-lived deals. I'll be keeping an eye on these and more deals over at Jelly Deals, including the cheapest place to get WipEout Omega Collection with that awesome PS1 sleeve. Happy hunting.
