PlayStation Store Deal Gives $10 Credit for Select New Games

The phrase, "You have to spend money to make money," can have some truth to it, especially as it pertains to a new PlayStation Store promotion. Select new PlayStation 5 games will provide purchasers with store credit, an incentive to invest in Sony's all-digital gaming future.

Although PlayStation has not, at the time of this writing, officially acknowledged this new promotion, purchasing certain games will earn buyers a $10 PlayStation Store credit, as discovered by PlayStation Lifestyle. The credit will be added to the user's PlayStation Store wallet upon purchase of an eligible game, meaning the games themselves are not discounted, but grant $10 off a future purchase.

Select New PS5 Games Provide $10 in PlayStation Store Credit

Eligible games include the following:

• The Blood of Dawnwalker
• Halloween: The Game
• Hot Wheels Infinite Rush
• Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2
• Mortal Shell 2
• Onimusha: Way of the Sword
• Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
• Star Wars Zero Company

The promotion is limited to one credit redemption per customer, and the offer expires September 29, 2026. It is also not live yet for all users—reports so far are mixed, with a banner showing up on the PlayStation 5 store advertising the deal to some, while others don't yet see anything. Even navigating to the eligible games won't show the promotion yet for some.

It feels necessary to reiterate that this is not a sale; the above games are not $10 off. One must be purchased at its full listed price, after which a $10 PlayStation Store wallet credit is dispersed. If users were planning on buying any of the above games anyway, though, it's a pretty enticing offer.

Incredible New Games Included in PlayStation Store Deal

2026 has been a blitz of great new games, especially through September and as the calendar approaches October, and this PlayStation Store credit can help ease the blow to the wallet, at least a little bit. Every eligible game is new, and there are some real heaters included. Star Wars Zero Company got rave reviews for its intricate tactical gameplay and ensemble cast of characters, while The Blood of Dawnwalker is acclaimed for its unique time mechanics and genuine role-playing.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword brings Capcom's recent excellence to a long-dormant series, its previous mainline outing releasing 20 years ago. Mortal Shell 2 was celebrated upon release as one of the best soulslikes of recent years, and a major improvement in nearly every facet on its divisive predecessor.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, Halloween: The Game, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy were all similarly well received, and the wide variety means the promotion can appeal to many PlayStation 5 owners. It appears to be rolling out gradually, so keep an eye on the PlayStation Store.
