PlayStation’s Black Friday deal on the Arkane Collection is a great way to spend $38

Over the next week or so, shoppers are going to be inundated with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Deciding when and where to spend one’s money — without overspending — may result in some choice paralysis. One of the best ways to spend $37.49 right now is on the Arkane Collection as part of PlayStation’s Black Friday sales promotion. That collection will get you seven titles, a mix of full games and expansions, from Arkane Studios, the developer behind Dishonored.

Here’s what’s included in the Arkane Collection, which is playable across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5:

• Deathloop Deluxe Edition
• Prey
• Prey: Mooncrash
• Prey: Typhon Hunter
• Dishonored Definitive Edition
• Dishonored 2
• Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

Those seven titles offer more than a hundred hours of spectacular, inventive entertainment. The late Arkane Austin’s Prey and its expansions are some of the best games of the past decade, and a perfect starting point for anyone looking to satisfy their immersive sim curiosity. Arkane’s Dishonored games are similarly fantastic and distinctive, with clever and flexible stealth mechanics. Deathloop’s pretty damn good too, and boasts an incredible visual style.

Arkane’s games are regularly deeply discounted, and you can purchase some of these games à la carte for as little as $3, specifically Prey and Dishonored 2, if you’re a PlayStation owner. But as a package, seven great titles for nearly half the price of a new AAA game release is an easy sell.

Bethesda’s Arkane Collection is available elsewhere on Xbox, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Those versions of the bundle include extra games, such as Redfall and Arx Fatalis, and go for around $180. You’re much better off going for the deeply discounted individual games in the package if you’re not shopping on the PlayStation Store.

But if you’ve got $37.49 burning a hole in your PlayStation Store account, and you’ve never immersed yourself in the worlds of Arkane Studios, the Arkane Collection is highly recommended as an easy, budget-minded way in.
