Injustice 2, Skullgirls, and Samurai Shodown VI are part of the US PlayStation Network’s weekend sale

The US PlayStation Network Store is having a special sale this weekend. As part of that sale, a couple of fighting games have gotten discounts.

First up, NetherRealm Studios’s Injustice 2 is on sale. The regular edition of the game can now be bought for only $49.99, $10 off its regular price. Meanwhile both the Deluxe and Ultimate editions are also discounted. The Deluxe Edition can be bought for only $69.99, while the Ultimate Edition can be had for $89.99. These are decent savings off both, especially the latter which is listed for $125 for its physical copy in stores such as Amazon.

Meanwhile, for those looking for something more animated, Lab Zero’s ever-so-excellent Skullgirls 2nd Encore is also on sale for only $7.49, more than $2 off its regular price of $9.99.

Finally, for those looking for something a bit more old-school, Samurai Shodown VI is also on sale for only $4.49, a dollar and some change of its $5.99 price.

Take note, however, that most of these discounts will end on Tuesday, October 24. So be sure to avail of them before then.
