A trilogy of hugely popular PS2 games is on a steep discount for PS5 and PS4 on the PlayStation Store for a limited time. Earlier this year, Deep Silver re-released its three TimeSplitters games on modern PlayStation platforms. For the first time in roughly 20 years, this brought all three of the classic shooters to new hardware and in the process made TimeSplitters, TimeSplitters 2, and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect easier to access than ever. Now, for those who have been interested in picking up these PS5 and PS4 ports, a new deal on each game is now far too good to pass up.

At the time of this writing, all three TimeSplitters games are 75% off on the PlayStation Store. Typically, these throwback PS2 shooters tend to retail for $9.99 on PS5 and PS4, but they can now be picked up for only $2.49 each. This represents the lowest amount that any of the three ports have been sold for to this point, and is quite a staggering price cut given that these PS2 re-releases only just launched a few months back. The deal is part of the PS Store’s ongoing Holiday Sale, which means that it will last until next month on January 7th.

It’s worth noting that if you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus Premium, you can already get these TimeSplitters games for “free”. All three titles are part of the “Classics” selection of titles on the Game Catalog that are made up of various PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games. Still, buying these TimeSplitters titles outright will ensure that they stay in your digital library permanently, which will give you continued access to each in the years to come.
