Summer is over, which means parents are going back to school and parents are trying to balance work and the new normal of distance learning. Naturally, it's a great time for video games, because Labor Day Weekend will be the last long weekend for a while. PlayStation is hoping to make this weekend a little more fun with its Essential Picks sale. This features the first price cut for The Last of Us Part 2, along with discounts on Persona 5 Royal, Death Stranding, Dreams, and a handful of first-party PlayStation games.
Elsewhere, monthly freebies have rotated out. Tom Clancy's The Division is free on Xbox One while Street Fighter V and PUBG are both free for PS4. And over in Nintendo Land, some new publisher sales have popped up. Switch owners can grab the best of 2K Games, but the eagle-eyed shopper will also spot discounts for games like The Outer Worlds and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as well as a slew of great indies.
