Last month, the PlayStation Store returned the Big in Japan Sale that offered discounts of up to 75 percent off on select games on the PS4. Although that sale has officially ended, those who were unable to snag a deal or two are in luck, given that the PlayStation Store is starting the month with another huge sale. The Essential Picks Sale is already live at the PlayStation Store, offering discounts of up to 60 percent off on PS4 and PS5 games until March 17th.
Headlining the PlayStation Store's Essential Picks Sale is Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, which is available for both the PS4 and PS5 for $54.99, or 22 percent off its original price of $69.99. For those unfamiliar, the Cross-Gen Bundle includes the game, the Confrontation Weapons Pack, Woods Operator in Modern Warfare and Warzone, and AR Weapon Blueprint in Modern Warfare and Warzone. Additionally, the game's Ultimate Edition is also on sale for $74.69 and includes everything in the Cross-Gen Bundle, including the Cold War Season 1 Battle Pass Bundle and the Cold War Land, Sea, and Air Pack.
