PlayStation 4 Brings Back Greatest Hits Lineup Of Discounted Games
Greatest Hits, Sony's line of games that have achieved certain sales thresholds and get relaunched at discounted prices, is being brought back for the PlayStation 4. These will release as physical copies and on the PSN Store for a new permanent price of $19.99.
The initial set of games includes Bloodborne, Driveclub, Infamous: Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Little Big Planet 3, the Ratchet and Clank remake, The Last of Us Remastered, Uncharted 4, Battlefield 4, Doom, Project Cars, Street Fighter V, Yakuza Kiwami, Yazkuza 0, and Metal Gear Solid V, with more games being added as time goes on.
The boxes will differ from original releases, traditionally with (fairly garish) banners over the box art and, for the first time, a switch in the color of the box from blue to red. Sony never makes public how many copies a game sells to qualify as a Greatest Hit, but traditionally the numbers have been around a million copies sold.
Our Take
I would probably get Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on sale rather than vanilla Street Fighter V because the former includes more character DLC, but this is a good deal for a lot of those other games. As someone that likes uniformity in my physical collection, though, the different boxes would probably drive me nuts.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
