Every day seems to bring a new reason for gamers to dive into the PlayStation Store, and today’s deal is an absolute gem. Sony’s digital gaming hub is in the midst of its Dealmania event, slashing prices on hundreds of items by as much as 75%. Among these treasures is a beloved journey into JRPGs and a PS4 version of a critically acclaimed PS Vita classic.
Right now, Atlus’ highly acclaimed Persona 4 Golden can be yours for just $9.99 on the PlayStation Store, a sweet 50% off from its usual price of $19.99. If you’re a PS4 or PS5 enthusiast, it’s best not to dawdle, as this deal wraps up in just six days, ending on March 13.
The game’s description on the PS Store captures its enigmatic allure: “They say your soulmate will appear if you stare into a television set on a rainy night… This strange rumor gradually fans out across Inaba, the protagonist’s new hometown, just as a string of eerie murders begins. As the protagonist and their friends scramble to uncover the truth, they’re drawn into a mysterious alternate world.”
Persona 4 Golden originally saw the light of day on Sony’s cherished yet discontinued handheld, the PS Vita, back in 2012, and it was an instant hit. With a stellar average score of 93 based on 61 reviews, as reported by Metacritic, the game holds its ground as one of the franchise’s finest, rivaling the base Persona 5 game. Topping the series’ ratings is Persona 5 Royal, a 2020 edition that enriched the original with fresh content, features, and enhanced gameplay.
Following its debut on the PS2 in 2008, Persona 4 spawned a multitude of spin-offs. This includes the fighting titles Persona 4 Arena and its sequel, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, as well as the rhythm-based Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The game also inspired both a manga and an anime adaptation, broadening its vibrant universe.
