The first day of the Lunar New Year in Asia is a significant holiday, similar to the Christmas season in the West. Although Asian countries have been using the Gregorian calendar for over a century, the tradition of spending holidays with family during the first week of Lunar New Year remains.

PlayStation is also holding a sale this year to coincide with this period. It's a chance for Asian PlayStation users to buy the expensive games they've been putting in their carts for a while. The discount is up to 80%, and it ends on February 14.

Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy, released by Portkey Games in 2023, is being sold at a 40% discount. Set about 100 years before the Harry Potter main story, the game has received praise for its faithful recreation of the magical world and its enjoyable gameplay. The game is particularly popular among Harry Potter fans for its open-world Hogwarts, where you can attend classes and explore the castle freely.

The PS5 standard edition, which originally cost 96,000 won, is currently being sold for 57,960 won.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

The latest installment of Assassin's Creed, set in 9th century Baghdad, is also on sale at a 30% discount. It tells the story of Basim, who appeared as a player's ally in the previous game, Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It has been criticized for being a little disappointing compared to its predecessors, but it faithfully recreates 9th-century Baghdad in true Assassin's Creed fashion.
