Description:
Sonys PS5 has received a new update that should ensure you never miss out on
a great discount on the games you want.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A new PS5 update has dramatically improved the PS Stores wishlist function,
as it will now alert users when a game goes on sale or is available to pre-order.

Youll need to enable push notifications for 'Wishlist Updates' on your PS5 console and PS App, but the handy new feature will definitely help
PlayStation owners save some cash.

Wishlist notifications also work on PS4 , but because you cant view your list on the console itself, the only way to get alerts is by enabling
notifications in the PS app.

Previously, the wishlist would only act as a place to collate all the games you were interested in and would only alert you when they launched or were available to pre-order, which means you could easily miss out on an offer or deal. Now, though, you can sit back and relax, and know that youll be
promptly informed when Knack goes on sale. Stay up-to-date with PS Store offers: Add games to your PS Store Wishlist Enable push notifications for Wishlist Updates on PS App or PS5 console Get notified when it's time to save pic.twitter.com/Qk72XXWF7K November 10, 2021 See more

With first-party PS5 games costing $70 / 70, it can definitely pay to be patient if you dont have the funds or arent quite sure a game like Returnal
is for you. Sony is often generous with its digital discounts, so theres nothing to lose (other than savings) if you dont take advantage of the wishlist function. You can always turn notifications off if the alerts become too distracting. Analysis: another excellent quality of life feature

Wishlist alerts have been common on PC for quite some time, with Steam also contacting users when games go on sale. For all its problems, Nintendos
Switch eShop was actually the first console to provide this functionality for users. It isnt quite as slick as Sonys new update, as you receive an email alerting you to the deals instead of push notifications, but is still a great quality of life feature that can help you get your favorite games for less.

The PS5 wishlist update will probably be even more impactful for those who
own the PS5 Digital Edition . Physical copies of games are usually always cheaper and can be resold to recoup some of your initial expenditure. But
with no Blu-ray disc drive, PS5 Digital Edtion owners are at the mercy of Sonys PS Store pricing. This new functionality should at least ensure you can take full advantage of all the discounts when they come around.

Of course, the best way to save on PS5 is still to sign up for PlayStation Plus . The service lets you play games online, but also includes monthly freebies, discounts, and perks to enjoy.
