SEGA has opened one of its deeper seasonal price drops. The SEGA Summer Sale is running now on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop, and it runs only through Wednesday, July 29, 2026. The marquee number is Persona 5 Royal at 80% off — historically one of the lowest prices the game reaches — backed by Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Ultimate Edition at 70% off and steep cuts across the Sonic and Atlus catalogs. For anyone holding gaps in a SEGA library, this is a short, well-timed window.

The Headline Discounts
The sale leans on SEGA's two strongest modern pillars — the Persona and Like a Dragon (Yakuza) franchises — with the Sonic slate filling out the middle. The confirmed cuts:
| Title | Discount |
|---|---|
| Persona 5 Royal | 80% off |
| Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth — Ultimate Edition | 70% off |
| Persona 3 Reload | up to 50% off |
| Sonic Racing CrossWorlds — Digital Deluxe | 50% off |
| Sonic x Shadow Generations — Digital Deluxe | 50% off |
| Like a Dragon: Kiwami 3 / "Dark Ties" side story | 35% off |
Persona: The Deepest Cuts
Persona 5 Royal at 80% off is the standout. The definitive edition of one of the most acclaimed JRPGs of its generation — over 100 hours with the Royal-exclusive third semester — this is close to the floor price the game has hit on console storefronts. For newcomers who skipped it on release, it is the single easiest recommendation in the sale.
Persona 3 Reload, the full ground-up remake, drops up to 50% — a more modest cut befitting its more recent release, but still a meaningful entry point for anyone working backward through the modern Persona trilogy after finishing 5.
Like a Dragon and Sonic
On the Like a Dragon side, the Infinite Wealth Ultimate Edition at 70% off bundles the Hawaii-spanning RPG with its post-launch content at a fraction of list price — the best value in the lineup for players who want the complete package. The Kiwami 3 remake and its "Dark Ties" side story come in at a lighter 35%, reflecting their newer status.
For Sonic fans, both Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Sonic x Shadow Generations see their Digital Deluxe editions cut 50%, folding in the premium extras rather than only the base games.
Is Now the Right Time to Buy?
The case for buying now is timing: Persona 5 Royal at 80% and Infinite Wealth Ultimate at 70% sit at or near their historical lows on these storefronts, and the sale closes July 29. The case for waiting is thinner but real — the year-end holiday sales sometimes match these figures, and a patient buyer with a large backlog loses little by holding. The clearest picks are the two headliners; the 35% cuts on newer Kiwami 3 content are the ones most likely to go deeper later in the year. As always, confirm the final price and edition on your regional store before purchase.
GamePeak Bottom Line
A short, front-loaded SEGA sale that puts its best foot forward: the two deepest cuts are also the two easiest to recommend.
| Pick | Deal | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Persona 5 Royal | 80% off | Buy — near floor price, essential JRPG |
| Infinite Wealth Ultimate | 70% off | Buy — best value, complete package |
| Persona 3 Reload | up to 50% | Strong if you're building the trilogy |
| Sonic Deluxe editions | 50% off | Fair, includes premium extras |
| Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties | 35% off | Consider waiting for a deeper cut |
