A trio of PS2 games that were recently released for PS5 and PS4 have already been discounted on the PlayStation Store. Over the past few months, Sony has steadily been re-releasing a slew of games from the PS2 era on current PlayStation hardware. Titles like Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Mister Mosquito, Sky Gunner, and most recently, Siren, have all made the jump to PS5 and PS4 among many others. Now, three PS2 games from the same series that just launched two months ago have been hit with a sizable sale that won’t last long.
As of this moment, all three entries in the TimeSplitters series can be purchased on the PS Store at a discount of 30%. This deal, which is set to last until November 2nd, brings the prices of TimeSplitters, TimeSplitters 2, and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect down to a mere $6.99. This marks the first time that all three PS2-era shooters have been on sale since they were added to the PlayStation marketplace in August.
