In just a couple of days, we will finally exit 2025, leaving behind the amazing games that have been released over the past 365 days. As some of the highly anticipated games of 2026 don’t release until February, now is the perfect time to grab something for the backlog, courtesy of the PlayStation Store‘s Holiday Sale. That may include this action RPG that is a sequel to a cult classic.
Dead Island 2 is 75% off on the PS Store
Developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver, Dead Island 2 is 75% off on the PS Store. That brings its usual price of $49.99 down to just $12.49. PlayStation players who want to take advantage of this deal will want to act fast. The offer ends on January 8, 2026, at 2:59 a.m. ET.
Here is a brief description and trailer for Dead Island 2, giving PlayStation players a glimpse of what to expect from the open-world zombie action RPG:
“A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into zombies. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, uncover the truth behind the outbreak and discover who – or what – you are. Survive, evolve and save the world!”
When Dead Island 2 was originally released for PlayStation consoles back in 2023, it was met with decent reviews. According to the review aggregate site Metacritic, it received an average score of 73 across 87 critic reviews. In our review, we gave it a 7 out of 10.
“Aside from the winning combat formula, however, Dead Island 2 doesn’t push the envelope in any other noteworthy ways,” reads our review. “It’s a very safe game, which was perhaps the wisest decision made by Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver, given the development hell that the game has been through since its 2014 reveal. I’d count that a win, all things considered!”
