PlayStation owners are getting a double punch of news this week. On one side, a critically praised 2025 title has been sliced to a bargain bin price, and on the other, a wildly popular indie co-op adventure appears to be preparing for a console debut. Both developments arrived without fanfare, yet each carries enough weight to shift buying decisions for many gamers.
Hell Is Us slashed to $12 on PlayStation Store
The third-person action-adventure from Rogue Factor, Hell Is Us is now listed for only $11.99 in the PlayStation Store, a price that will hold until October 22, 2026. After that deadline the title reverts to its full retail price of $59.99. The cut follows a substantial free content update released last week, which added new locations, weapons, and narrative threads to the game’s already expansive semi-open world.
While the base version enjoys the deep discount, the Deluxe Edition remains at its regular cost. Publisher Nacon nonetheless bundles the game with a Robocop Collection offering the package for $29.99 – a 70% reduction from the combined original price. PS Plus Extra subscribers can already stream the game from the catalog, though it will disappear from the service once the promotion ends, whereas PS Plus Premium members have the option to cloud-stream the title directly to their consoles.
Peak co-op adventure spotted for PS5 in ESRB leak
Earlier this month the ESRB released a rating for Peak on the PS5 platform, confirming that the beloved Steam co-op title is headed toward a console launch. The game, which let friends climb absurdly tall mountains by solving platforming puzzles and sharing tools, sold more than 10 million copies by August 2025, helped by its modest $8 price tag and easy group-play mechanics.
The leak suggests a direct port rather than a major overhaul, and no post-launch content updates are expected after the team ended support in the summer of 2025. Co-creator Nick Kaman explained the pricing philosophy behind the original low-cost model, noting that an $8 price point feels like “five bucks” to most players, creating a sweet spot for sales. Although the exact console price has not been confirmed, the developers have hinted they will keep the game affordable, following the same psychology that made the PC version a hit.
With the ESRB rating in place, an official announcement from the publisher is likely imminent. Whether Peak will also arrive on Xbox or the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 remains unconfirmed, but the game’s strong community and cross-platform appeal make a multi-console release a reasonable expectation.
Both stories underline how price moves and surprise platform announcements continue to shape the PlayStation ecosystem. Whether you’re hunting a discounted adventure or waiting for a beloved co-op experience to hit your console, the next few weeks promise fresh options for every kind of gamer.
