All PC games on Steam; 23 sold as keys at Virtwave
The PlayStation PC Autumn Sale 2026 runs on Steam from Thursday 1 October to Thursday 8 October 2026, opening and closing at 17:00 UTC (10 AM Pacific). Sony advertises up to 67% off 24 PC games, from Returnal and UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection to God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and its list goes as deep as 80% on the original HELLDIVERS. We stock 23 of the 24 as Steam keys.
We received Sony’s retail toolkit for the sale on 1 October: the guidelines, the banners and the discount list this post is built from. The start and end hour come from our distributor’s sale schedule. To see only what your country can buy, open our PlayStation Studios PC games page: it filters the list by country and, while a PlayStation sale is running, puts the discounted games first with a countdown to the end.

The five games on Sony’s key visual
Sony headlines five games on its key visual: The Last of Us Part II Remastered (33%), Stellar Blade (33%), HELLDIVERS 2 (25%), UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection (67%) and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (33%). The “save up to 67%” on the artwork is the deepest cut among those headline games. The discount list in the same toolkit goes further on two older titles: the original HELLDIVERS is 80% off and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture 75%.
When does the PlayStation PC Autumn Sale end?
The PlayStation PC Autumn Sale ends on Thursday 8 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC, which is 10:00 AM Pacific (PDT). That hour comes from our distributor’s sale schedule, and it is the same hour Valve gives for Steam’s own Autumn Sale, which Steamworks says “runs October 1 - 8, 2026 at 10am Pacific”. In Europe the deadline falls on Thursday evening. In Asia and Oceania it is already the early hours of Friday 9 October.
| Where you are | Sale ends | Day |
|---|---|---|
| US Pacific (PDT) | 10:00 AM | Thursday 8 October |
| US Eastern (EDT) | 1:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| Brazil (BRT) | 2:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| UK (BST) | 6:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| Central Europe (CEST) | 7:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| Saudi Arabia (AST) | 8:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| UAE (GST) | 9:00 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| India (IST) | 10:30 PM | Thursday 8 October |
| Philippines (PHT) | 1:00 AM | Friday 9 October |
| Japan (JST) | 2:00 AM | Friday 9 October |
| Sydney (AEDT) | 4:00 AM | Friday 9 October |
| Auckland (NZDT) | 6:00 AM | Friday 9 October |
When it started, and how to read “10/1 - 10/8”
The sale opened on Thursday 1 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC: 10 AM in California, 6 PM in London, 9 PM in Dubai, and 3 AM on Friday 2 October in Sydney, which was still on standard time that week. Sony’s artwork prints the dates US-style as “10/1 - 10/8”. That is month first, so it means 1 to 8 October, not 10 January to 10 August. Steam’s own Autumn Sale covers exactly the same week; our Steam sale dates for 2026 has the rest of the calendar.
“Sony’s toolkit gives the dates as October 1–8, and our distributor’s schedule adds the hour: 17:00 UTC at both ends. On 1 October, a few hours before the sale opened, the US Steam store still showed full price on every game in the list except the two Last of Us titles, which were in their own Last of Us Day sale.”

The best PlayStation PC Autumn Sale deals
67% off: Returnal, Uncharted and Sackboy
Three games share Sony’s headline 67%, and they are the deepest cuts on any game that normally costs more than $20. The UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection bundles two complete campaigns, A Thief’s End and The Lost Legacy, and drops from $49.99 to an expected $16.49 in the US. Returnal, Housemarque’s roguelike shooter, goes from $59.99 to about $19.79. Sackboy: A Big Adventure gets the same cut on the same $59.99 price, and its Steam page lists online and split-screen co-op, which makes it the family pick of the three. Returnal and Sackboy tie for the biggest dollar saving in the whole sale, about $40.20 each. In our German store, before the sale opened, Uncharted was €49.99 and Returnal €59.99, their full list prices. Our product pages pick up the sale prices shortly after the sale opens, and we will add them here once they do.
60% off: God of War, Spider-Man and more
Five games are 60% off, all PC versions that have been out for at least three years. God of War (2018) drops from $49.99 to an expected $19.99, and it leads into God of War Ragnarök, which is 33% off at about $40.19, so the pair comes to roughly $60. Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered ($59.99 to about $23.99) and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales ($49.99 to about $19.99) are both in this group, while Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is 33% off. Days Gone ($39.99 to about $15.99) and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart ($59.99 to about $23.99) complete it. Our German store listed God of War at €49.99 before the sale.
50% and 40% off: Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima and Until Dawn
One step down, five games are half price: Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, LEGO Horizon Adventures, The Last of Us Part I, the 2024 Until Dawn remake and Lost Soul Aside. Lost Soul Aside stands out, because it only reached PC in August 2025. Two games are 40% off: Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, $59.99 to an expected $35.99, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, $49.99 to about $29.99.
Newer games at 20–33% off
The newest games get the smallest cuts. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach reached PC on 19 March 2026, according to its Steam page, and it is 20% off: $69.99 to an expected $55.99. That is the smallest percentage in the sale, shared only with the $9.99 Midnight Murder Club. If you want to play it now, $14 off is still $14 off; if you are not in a hurry, it is the game where waiting costs you the least. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (on PC since January 2025), Stellar Blade (June 2025), God of War Ragnarök and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are all 33% off, which brings the three $59.99 games to about $40.19. HELLDIVERS 2 is 25% off, $39.99 to about $29.99, the smallest cut of the five games on Sony’s artwork.

The Last of Us: the discount simply carries on
If you missed The Last of Us Day, nothing is lost. The Last of Us Part I (50% off) and Part II Remastered (33% off) were already discounted in that sale, which ends at 17:00 UTC on 1 October, the same minute the Autumn Sale opens. Sony’s Autumn Sale list keeps both at the same percentages, so the discount carries straight on until 17:00 UTC on 8 October. On the US Steam store that is $29.99 for Part I and $33.49 for Part II Remastered, the prices we read on 1 October. When we checked our own catalogue the same day, the The Last of Us Part I Steam key and the Part II Remastered key were already showing those discounts. Our The Last of Us sale guide covers which to play first, what the Deluxe Edition adds and the PC requirements.

PlayStation PC Autumn Sale FAQs
When does the PlayStation PC Autumn Sale end?
The PlayStation PC Autumn Sale ends on Thursday 8 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC: 10 AM Pacific, 1 PM Eastern, 6 PM in the UK, 7 PM in Central Europe, 9 PM in the UAE and 10:30 PM in India. In Japan and Australia it is already Friday 9 October (2 AM in Tokyo, 4 AM in Sydney). It started at the same hour on 1 October.
Is the PlayStation PC sale on Steam?
Yes. The PlayStation PC Autumn Sale covers Sony’s PC games on Steam, published by PlayStation Publishing LLC, and Sony’s artwork for it carries the Steam logo. It runs during Steam’s own Autumn Sale, which Valve has scheduled for 1–8 October 2026 at 10 AM Pacific. The same games are sold as Steam keys, which is how we sell them.
Is Ghost of Tsushima on sale?
Yes. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is 40% off in the PlayStation PC Autumn Sale, from $59.99 to an expected $35.99 on the US Steam store, until 17:00 UTC on 8 October 2026.
Is HELLDIVERS 2 on sale?
Yes. HELLDIVERS 2 is 25% off from 1 to 8 October 2026, $39.99 down to an expected $29.99 in the US. The original HELLDIVERS (Dive Harder Edition) is 80% off, the deepest cut in the whole sale, which brings it to about $3.99.
Will there be a Black Friday PlayStation PC sale?
Nothing has been announced. Sony has not said whether it will discount its PC games again in November, and Steam’s published calendar has no seasonal sale between this Autumn Sale and the Winter Sale, which runs from 17 December 2026 to 4 January 2027. If a game here is on your list, this week is the discount you can count on.
Do Steam keys from Virtwave work for these games?
Yes. They are Steam keys: you activate them in Steam under Games, then Activate a Product on Steam, and the game stays in your Steam library. Each key is region-restricted, so our product pages only list a key where it can be activated in your country. We stock 23 of the 24 games in this sale.
Buying the sale as a Steam key
Every game in this sale is a Steam game published on PC by PlayStation Publishing LLC, so whether you buy on Steam or buy a key, it ends up in your Steam library. Keys are activated in Steam from the Games menu with “Activate a Product on Steam”, and our guide to activating a Steam product key walks through it. If you would rather pay on Steam with wallet credit, our $20 US Steam gift card and $50 US Steam gift card only work on US-region accounts, so read how Steam store country and currency work first. Steam’s refund policy covers purchases made on the Steam store, not keys bought elsewhere; our Steam refund guide explains the rules, and keys bought from us fall under our own refund policy.
Why your country may see fewer games
Sony licenses its PC games country by country, and in some countries only a few of these titles can be bought at all. Our product pages only list a key where it can be activated in your country and check the price live when you open them, and the PlayStation Studios PC games page shows only what your country can buy. In our store, LEGO Horizon Adventures and the standard edition of Lost Soul Aside are sold for North America only; elsewhere we stock the Lost Soul Aside Digital Deluxe Edition.
- Check the end time in your own time zone: 17:00 UTC on Thursday 8 October.
- Open the product page from the country you will play in, so the price and availability you see are the ones that apply to you.
- Pick the edition you actually want: Deluxe, Complete and Super Citizen editions are separate products with their own prices.
- Play the series in order: God of War before Ragnarök, The Last of Us Part I before Part II, Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales before Spider-Man 2.

Method: we read the regular US price of all 24 games from the Steam store API with US pricing on 1 October 2026, a few hours before the sale opened, and calculated the expected sale prices by taking Sony’s percentage off and rounding down to the cent. We converted 17:00 UTC using the daylight-saving rules in force on 8 October. The same day we matched Sony’s list against our own catalogue, where 23 of the 24 games had a product page with a live offer, and read our German storefront prices before the sale. We will confirm the real Steam and Virtwave prices here once the sale is live. Our standards are set out in our editorial policy.
