Gaming is an expensive hobby at the best of times, especially after the standard price was raised to $70 for new and upcoming games. For most of us out there, it's just impossible to buy every one of the best PlayStation 5 games that come out at launch for full price, forcing us to wait for sales and discounts. However, you never know when those might show up or if the game you wanted is included. But, if you turn on one setting, you can be notified the moment a game you have your eye on gets a discount.

If you're not paying attention, it might seem like the best stealth games of all time are all in the past, but the PS5 has plenty of fantastic stealth experiences hiding in the shadows.
