New PSN Flash Sale Has Begun

Get your co-op fix this weekend.

A new Flash sale is now underway for the weekend on the PlayStation Store. It discounts a number of PS4, PS3, and Vita games, with a focus on co-op titles.

PS4 has by far the most games on sale in this promotion, which doesn't require a PlayStation Plus membership. Among the highlights are Resident Evil 5 and 6 for $8 each, Sportsfriends for $4.49, and Helldivers: Ultimate Edition for $16. Some other noteworthy PS4 deals:

• 7 Days to Die -- $10.49
• The Jackbox Party Pack Trilogy -- $24
• Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 -- $16 each
• Nidhogg -- $5
• Tropico 5 -- $9
• Videoball -- $2

PS3 deals include the first two Borderlands games for $4 each, Sportsfriends for $4.49, and Guilty Gear Xrd Sign for $12. Vita, meanwhile, has a fairly limited selection, although Helldivers ($16) and Nidhogg ($5) are also available on there, as is Earth Defense Force 2 for $6.

This Flash sale runs from now until 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET on Monday, June 26. You can see everything in the sale here. This all coincides with the ongoing weekly PSN sales, which include discounts on a bunch of Metal Gear Solid games.

Hitman Episode 1 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC

PlayStation Store offers downloads of Hitman Episode 1 for PlayStation 4 for free. (Microsoft offers it for Xbox One and steam offers it for windows.) That's a savings of $15 and the first time we've seen any part of this highly-rated game for free. Episode 1 features the ICA Facility location and includes two story missions (including all cut-scenes), two Escalation Contracts, more than 40 challenges, and 17 achievements and trophies. (You'll be able to keep your progress if you upgrade to the full game.) Click here for more information and to see a trailer for Episode 1.

$300 PlayStation VR Available For A Limited Time

Price of entry is one of the main barriers holding some people back from picking up their own VR headset. Sony's PlayStation VR aims to be a lower-priced option compared to its PC counterparts, but it's still an expensive purchase. At the moment, however, its cost is a bit more palatable.

Over on eBay, Newegg is selling the $400 PSVR for only $300. Discounts on the headset have not been commonplace, and this might well be the cheapest that a new version of the headset has been sold for since its launch last October.

Shipping on this deal is free, and Newegg is a reputable seller, but the offer is only available to those in the United States. It's unclear how long this discount will be available for, so you should act quickly if you're interested.

An important thing to note is that this doesn't come with anything but the headset itself--you'll still need a PS4 and a PS4 camera at a bare minimum. PlayStation Move controllers (two of which are included with $500 PSVR bundles) are optional but do often enhance the experience. You can GameSpot's PSVR review for more details.

Detroit: Become Human is coming next year, David Cage confirms.

Detroit: Become Human--the upcoming neo-noir game from Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream--will launch in 2018, director David Cage has confirmed.

Until now, no release window had ever been mentioned for the PS4 exclusive, and its E3 2017 story trailer also did not confirm a date, as some thought it might. However, Cage told GameSpot at E3 that "it's going to be next year."

Some people had believed the game would launch this year, after a PlayStation sizzle reel had listed it as part of the platform's 2017 releases. However, Sony's president of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, later stated the listing was a mistake.

Elsewhere in our interview, Cage discusses a bunch of different topics, from how he wants the player to be Detroit's co-writer, co-director, and co-star to how real-world issues, including terrorism, affected the game's story. Take a look at the full interview here. For our impressions of Become Human, check out our video roundup of the best PS4 games at Sony's booth.

Detroit was shown on-stage at Sony's E3 2017 press conference, during which the company announced a Shadow of the Colossus remake, a PSVR version of Skyrim, and a new Monster Hunter game. For more, check out all the Sony press conference news or all the Sony press conference trailers.
