With the summer period ending and the busy gaming months fast approaching, CDKeys is currently offering one year of PS Plus for half price. August has already proven to be an extremely favorable month when it comes to PS Plus deals and with a one-year subscription on sale for $32, from the usual $60, there’s never been a better time to subscribe to the service. As a new wave of titles are incoming and the next generation of consoles are looming ever nearer with the PlayStation 5, being prepared for the coming months is vital, and with this deal you get a year for practically the same price as six months.

Perhaps the main reason for ensuring your subscription is secured for the next twelve months is the wealth of games arriving over the fall period. With titles such as Star Wars: Squadrons, Marvel’s Avengers and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War being massively influenced by online play, a PS Plus subscription is vital to play with friends and enjoy each game’s online components. Even pre-existing popular titles that will no doubt carry over into the future generation such as Call of Duty: Warzone and GTA Online will remain accessible with a year-long subscription.

Not only that, but members are also eligible to receive a selection of free games each month as part of the PS Plus benefit. For August, two massive titles have been added as part of the service. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered has been added, offering players a nostalgic trip to the past through one of the series’ best narrative installments. The most notable inclusion however, is the fantastic Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout — the platforming battle royale which has currently taken the world by storm. Since both are only available for August, now is the best time to take part in this massive deal.

Outside of gaming, there are also a variety of other perks for members to take full advantage of. With cloud data saving, players will be able to upload the save data for their favorite games onto a cloud service, ensuring that if there’s ever an issue with their console, their saves will remain safe on an online server to be re-downloaded at any time. There’s 100GB of space available, meaning users won’t be running out of space anytime soon. Additionally, PS Plus members are also eligible to exclusive discounts and sales on the PS store. With many classic titles currently offering huge discounts as next-gen action is right around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up some classic titles at a discounted price.

Need a PS5 controller? This Cyber Monday deal has you covered
Geoff Keighley holding DualSense.

Do you need a second DualSense controller to play PlayStation 5 couch co-op games with a friend? Or maybe you broke your old one during an intense gaming moment? In either case, Cyber Monday deals have just the thing for you! Right now you can get a PS5 DualSense wireless controller for only $49. That's up to $26 off the usual price depending on the color, and is a deal you shouldn't pass up even if you're not sure how much you'll use it. So, go ahead and grab one at Walmart while this deal lasts. You'll have a 30-day free return period to change you mind, so it's basically risk free!

Why you should buy the Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller
If you bought a new PS5, then you've probably already used the DualSense controller, as it's the default one that comes with the console. While "default" doesn't necessarily sound like a great word, and there are other great PS5 controllers out there, the DualSense is different. Plus, with seven colors (and an Army-style camo print) to choose from, this can finally be your chance to get the style you've always wanted. In our PS5 review we referred to the DualSense controller as "a win" because of its responsiveness and haptic feedback. If the game you're playing (we suggest Returnal) allows for it, the controller will respond to what is happening in the game via vibration effects and extra tension in the triggers.

Best Buy is giving you a chance to buy the PS5 on November 7
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The PlayStation 5 was released in 2020, and since then, it has been hard to find just about anywhere. Even two years after its release, Sony's next-gen gaming console has been scarce at retailers, but if you've been dying to get your hands on a system, you might soon be in luck. Best Buy is offering shoppers a chance to buy the PS5 console starting at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on Monday, November 7, but there is a catch: This offer is exclusive to those with a Best Buy Totaltech membership. Here's what you need to know.

The availability of the PlayStation 5 has been somewhat unusual, even in a period plagued with supply chain issues, computer ship shortages, and delivery delays. Most of those logistics problems have been cleared up by now, but for various reasons, Sony's next-gen console remains somewhat elusive. It hasn't been impossible to find, of course -- the PS5 has already sold more than 24 million units as of October 2022 (and has built up a solid library of PS5 exclusives in the process) -- but many shoppers have had to rely on signing up for email lists or keeping product pages bookmarked and checking them frequently in order to get lucky and catch one of these consoles when it becomes available.

This sweet PS Plus deal will get you a year’s subscription for $45
A 1-year PS Plus membership card.

If you own a PS3, PS4, or PS5, then you likely have a PlayStation Plus membership, which was recently relaunched into three different tiers. If you aren't familiar with it, here's everything you need to know about the new PS Plus, but if you're already in the know, then we're happy to report that there are a few great PS Plus deals on the PS Plus Essential plan at CDkeys, such as this 12-month subscription that's discounted down to $45, rather than the usual $60 price.

Why you should buy PS Plus 12-month subscription
While you don't get some of the features or games in the higher tiers, the Essential tier of PS Plus still has some nice perks, including free monthly PS4 and PS5 games, PlayStation Store discounts, and access to online multiplayer. PS5 owners get access to the PlayStation Plus Collection of free games, which includes hits like God of War, Uncharted 4, and Bloodborne. You also get 100GB of cloud storage for your game saves, which gives you some continuity between consoles if you're playing at a friend's place or on a different console, and you even have the option of Share Play to share your screen with another person so you can both play in multiplayer as if you both own the game.
