PlayStation Gamescom Sale: Crimson Desert and 007 First Light Drop to $55.99

Lena Fischer 2 min read

Crimson Desert and 007 First Light get their first- ever 20% discount on the PlayStation Store, dropping to $55.99 during the Gamescom promotion.

PlayStation is cutting prices on two of 2026's biggest action titles, giving buyers a chance to pick up high-profile games for less. Sony Interactive Entertainment is running a Gamescom promotion that lowers the cost of Crimson Desert and 007 First Light on the PlayStation Store. This is the first time either game has seen a price drop, which matters for players who have been waiting for a sale on these specific titles.

First price cuts for major action titles run through September 10

The discount applies to Crimson Desert, developed by Pearl Abyss, and 007 First Light, created by IO Interactive. Both games are now priced at $55.99 in the United States. This represents a 20 percent reduction from their original launch prices. The price cut is available to anyone with a PlayStation Store account in the US region.

Crimson Desert recently received a major 2.0 update that added narrative improvements and performance fixes. The update aims to address player feedback and smooth out the experience on console. 007 First Light has already sold over 4 million copies in less than three months since its release. The strong sales numbers show that both titles have maintained a large player base despite the lack of prior discounts.

The promotion is part of a broader Gamescom event that runs until September 10, 2026. Buyers can purchase the discounted versions immediately through the digital storefront.
