Survival hits in the PS Store sale: 4 cheap PS4/PS5 games you need to play
Survival games have mushroomed in recent years. Whether alone, in co-op or against other players, the struggle for survival has its own charm.
In which popular survival games you can currently collect resources, craft items and build bases particularly cheaply on PS4 and PS5, we have summarized for you here. But don’t forget: Always keep an eye on the needs of your characters. Not that you narrowly escape a predator, but then keel over with hunger.
subnautica

Subnautica – Gameplay trailer announces underwater survival game for PS4
- Price: 14.99 instead of 29.99 euros (50% discount, another 10% with PS Plus)
- Offer valid until: Jul 14, 2022 at 12:59 am
- Modes: single player
That’s what it’s about: After the emergency landing on a planet with a beautiful underwater world, it is not only a question of surviving, but also of finding a way to escape again. Subnautica not only relies on the usual survival aspects such as satisfying hunger, collecting resources, crafting and base building, but also demands that we keep an eye on our oxygen and deep pressure. And of course we must defend ourselves against dangerous creatures lurking in the dark depths.

DayZ

DayZ – PS4 version gameplay trailer
- Price: 29.99 instead of 49.99 euros (40% discount)
- Offer valid until: Jul 7, 2022 at 12:59 am
- Modes: Online multiplayer/co-op
That’s what it’s about: No checkpoints, no save, just 59 other players out to get us in an apocalyptic open world. DayZ is a survival multiplayer in which we never know how our opponent will react. Additionally, we are exposed to the weather, predators, and bloodthirsty infected. The right materials, tools and weapons are therefore all the more important, but they can also be stolen from strangers if they don’t catch us first.
7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die – Zombie open world game preview video
- Price: 6.99 instead of 34.99 euros (80% discount, another 5% with PS Plus)
- Offer valid until: Jul 7, 2022 at 12:59 am
- Modes: Single player, multiplayer (co-op & PvP) local and online
That’s what it’s about: 7 Days to Die is a zombie survival sandbox RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. In addition to the usual survival mechanics, we can improve our character’s skills, meet NPCs and pursue quests. Building a fort is also an important part of stopping the undead. To do this, we can generate electricity, build automatic towers or traps. Nonetheless, diseases must also be combated.
The Forest

The Forest – PlayStation 4 announcement in-game trailer
- Price: 6.79 instead of 16.99 euros (60% discount)
- Offer valid until: Jul 7, 2022 at 12:59 am
- Modes: Single player, co-op local and online
That’s what it’s about: Together with our young son we crash over an island that is full of cannibals and mutants. And if that wasn’t bad enough, our son would be kidnapped as well. Our task is therefore to find and save him. To do this, however, we have to fight our way through forests and dark cave systems to gather resources, craft food and tools, and set up a base to prepare well for the rescue operation.

Both Subnautica and The Forest offer us even more survival fodder in the form of sequels. With Below Zero, we find ourselves in a similar underwater adventure, but in icy realms. The setting of Sons of the Forest, on the other hand, doesn’t change much, as we crash again on the same island, but as a soldier instead of a father.
