Last-Minute PS5 Game Deals at Best Buy Have Me Reevaluating My Holiday Gaming Strategy

With Christmas just around the corner, time is running out to snag some PS5 games as gifts. Luckily, there are some fantastic last-minute deals available that can be picked up the same day or shipped in time for the holiday. And hey, if you want to treat yourself to some new titles for the festive season, I won’t tell anyone!

There are some impressive discounts on recent 2025 releases, which is a pleasant surprise before the new year’s big sales. For instance, Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater is now just $24.99, a deal that beats many of the best prices we saw during Black Friday. And it doesn’t stop there; Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles is also available at its lowest price ever of $39.99, a game so fresh that I barely had time to mention it to Santa (aka my fiancé).

**Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater | $69.99 $24.99**
Save $45 – This is my top pick from the last-minute PS5 game deals, with a whopping $45 off the Snake Eater remake. Not only is this a record-low price for this PS2 classic remake, but it’s also the best deal I’ve found at any US retailer.

**Borderlands 4 | $69.99 $54.99**
Save $20 – While Borderlands 4 has seen lower prices in the past, this $15 discount is still a solid deal for such a recent release. You can also save $21 on the Deluxe version if you want to grab all those pre-order bonuses.

**Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth | $49.99 $29.99**
Save $20 – This is one of the best holiday deals I’ve spotted, as I haven’t seen Rebirth this low since the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. If you enjoyed Remake and want to catch up, now’s a great time to dive in while it’s $20 off.

**Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles | $49.99 $39.99**
Save $10 – For those in the mood for classic Final Fantasy, this enhanced remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics is at its lowest price on PS5. Released just a few months ago, this deal is especially tempting for fans of old-school turn-based gameplay.

**Digimon Story Time Stranger | $69.99 $49.99**
Save $20 – If you’re looking for something new, Digimon Story Time Stranger launched on October 2, and it’s now down to $49.99. Fans of the franchise will enjoy this RPG set in the same universe as Cyber Sleuth, especially with a $20 discount.

**Silent Hill f | $69.99 $49.99**
Save $20 – For those craving a spooky experience, Silent Hill f is now at its lowest price of $49.99. I picked this up at full price on launch day, and it reignited my love for the series, so I’ll be a bit envious if you grab it for $20 off.

**Life is Strange Double Exposure | $29.99 $19.99**
Save $10 – If you wanted to continue Max’s story without paying full price, now’s your chance. You can grab the latest installment in the Life is Strange series for just $19.99 and see what Max has been up to at Caledon University.

**NBA 2K26 | $69.99 $29.99**
Save $40 – Sports fans, this NBA 2K26 deal is for you, with a massive $40 off its full price. The game has been dropping in price since launch, and this is the lowest I’ve seen for the PS5 version.

**Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake | $59.99 $49.99**
Save $10 – The deals on 2025 releases keep coming, with the Dragon Quest 1 & 2 Remake available for $10 off. While it’s not the biggest discount, it’s a solid deal for a collection of RPG classics that are just a few months old.

With Christmas fast approaching, if you’re still looking for gifts for the PS5 enthusiasts in your life, now’s the time to act. Just make sure to check that any games you pick up will arrive in time for the holiday. Many of the titles mentioned are expected to ship before the big day, but it’s always good to double-check, especially this close to Christmas.
