With recent Xbox sales going on, and Project Cars being confirmed as free on Games with Gold for February, you must be wondering when Sony will come for your wallet. Worry no more, as the company has just launched the PS Essentials sale!

This week’s sale offers up to 75% off on select titles (80% for PS Plus members), and it has an interesting list of racing games on the sale. The promotion is a US-specific one, unfortunately. For our overseas readers, there is another sale going on in Europe with its own set of driving game deals.

The sale starts with The Crew, Ubisoft’s most recent open-word entry in the market. The price tag has been nearly chopped in half, down to a modest $15.89. Following that is the GRID series, which has three offerings on the table: GRID Autosport, basic GRID 2, and the full-fat GRID 2 Reloaded. All three entries of the series are being offered at 60% off, making the former two $11.99 and the latter $15.99.

Lastly, there’s Codemaster’s F1 2014, a faithful reproduction of the—you guessed it—2014 season of Formula 1. Self-explanatory names aside, F1 2014 is on sale for a surprisingly low price of $7.99.

Below is a full list of the racing games on sale with appropriate links.

  • The Crew – $15.89 (47% off, extra 10% with PS Plus)
  • GRID Autosport – $11.99 (60% off, extra 10% with PS Plus)
  • GRID 2 – $11.99 (60% off, extra 10% with PS Plus)
  • GRID 2 Reloaded – $15.99 (60% off, extra 10% with PS Plus)
  • F1 2014 – $7.99 (60% off, extra 10% with PS Plus)

These are just highlights of the 106 items on sale, so be sure to grab the deals you want. Better act quick, though: the sale ends on January 31.
