PlayStation’s summer sale slashes prices on major RPGs through August 13, offering deals like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for $28 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for $40, while hardware enthusiasts can also purchase Seagate’s massive 4TB Xbox Series X expansion card for $500.
PlayStation Store Summer Sale Puts Major RPGs on Discount
Video game enthusiasts looking to expand their digital libraries have a broad selection of role-playing games available at steep discounts as part of PlayStation’s ongoing summer promotion, which runs until August 13. Among the high-profile titles featured in the storefront refresh are recent releases Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, both marking their lowest prices yet.
Major titles see discounts reaching up to 75 percent off across the platform. Players can pick up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for $28 (60 percent off), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for $40 (20 percent off), and Digimon Story Time Stranger for $40 (43 percent off). Additional deals include Persona 3 Reload priced at $21 (65 percent off), Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader at $20 (60 percent off), and Disco Elysium – The Final Cut dropping to $10 (75 percent off).
Hardware Storage Solutions for Modern Game Sizes
While players stock up on massive role-playing games, hardware constraints remain a persistent hurdle for console owners. Modern titles frequently demand extreme amounts of storage space, with games like Call of Duty taking up over 300GB. To combat this issue, Seagate offers its new 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X directly through its website and at Best Buy.
The massive storage upgrade carries a heavy financial barrier. It costs $500, matching the original launch price of the Xbox Series X console itself. Out of the advertised 4TB capacity, the card provides 3.7TB of usable storage after accounting for system functions, which combines with the internal drive’s 802GB of usable space to yield roughly 4.5TB total.
Performance Testing and Load Times Across Devices
Real-world testing demonstrates that moving games to the external Seagate drive incurs virtually no performance penalty regarding load times. When loading a save file in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the Xbox Series X internal storage required 7.33 seconds, while the expansion card took 7.39 seconds. Similarly, loading Avowed took 14.95 seconds on internal storage and 14.91 seconds on the expansion card.
Transferring large game files to the new hardware takes a measurable amount of time. Moving Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (42.3GB) to the expansion card requires 1 minute and 47 seconds, while transferring Avowed (76.2GB) takes 2 minutes and 49 seconds. Users can also seamlessly unplug the card to slot it into another Xbox in your house or a friend’s, though stationary use allows the card to check for updates automatically.
