Sony just threw gamers a bone that’s too good to ignore. The Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy – that’s three full games plus all their DLC – is sitting at $7.49 on the US PlayStation Store right now. That’s not a typo. That’s 85% off what you’d normally pay for one of gaming’s most solid action-adventure packages.

Deal hunter extraordinaire Wario64 dropped the news that sent bargain hunters scrambling:

“Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy is $7.49 on US PSN $10.09 GOG (Steam) $11.98 Fanatical w/ code OMENVIP” – @Wario64

This isn’t just PlayStation getting generous either. GOG has it for $10.09, and Steam users can grab it through Fanatical for $11.98 using code OMENVIP. Multiple platforms, same message: these games need to be in your library.

Let’s be clear about what you’re getting here. This trilogy covers Lara Croft’s complete modern makeover – from 2013’s gritty survival reboot through Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s 2018 finale. That’s Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, all with their season passes and DLC content included. We’re talking about three games that originally launched at $60 each, now bundled for less than the price of a fast food combo meal.

The 2013 reboot transformed Lara from mansion-dwelling aristocrat into a desperate survivor fighting for her life on a hostile island. It worked. The game sold over 14 million copies and proved that sometimes starting over is exactly what a franchise needs. Rise of the Tomb Raider doubled down on exploration and puzzle-solving in Siberian wilderness that actually felt dangerous. Shadow wrapped things up with larger tombs and more complex traversal, even if the story got a bit too mystical for its own good.

Here’s what makes this deal particularly smart: these aren’t old games limping into irrelevance. The Survivor trilogy holds up remarkably well. The graphics still impress, the gameplay feels modern, and the production values rival anything launching today. Crystal Dynamics knew how to craft an action-adventure experience, and it shows in every carefully designed setpiece and environmental puzzle.

This pricing strategy tells us something important about the current game market. Publishers are realizing that deep discounts on older premium content can generate more revenue than letting titles gather digital dust at full price. When you can move thousands of copies at $7.49 versus dozens at $49.99, the math becomes obvious. Smart business, better for gamers.

For newcomers, this represents the perfect entry point into modern Tomb Raider. You get to experience Lara’s complete character arc from frightened castaway to confident explorer without the sticker shock of buying three separate games. The trilogy tells a complete story – something increasingly rare in today’s franchise-focused gaming landscape.

Existing fans have less obvious reasons to bite, but the Definitive editions do include all DLC content that might have been skipped during original releases. Plus, having the complete trilogy readily available beats digging through multiple game libraries when that Tomb Raider mood strikes.

The timing feels deliberate too. With rumors swirling about the next Tomb Raider project and Amazon’s upcoming series generating buzz, getting more players familiar with modern Lara makes business sense. Nothing builds anticipation for new content like a massive installed base of satisfied customers.

This deal probably won’t last long. Wario64’s followers move fast, and word travels quickly in gaming communities when something this good-looking appears. Publishers typically run these deep discount promotions for limited windows, especially when they’re this aggressive with the pricing.

If you’ve been on the fence about trying these games, $7.49 removes every reasonable excuse. If you’re looking for solid single-player adventures that respect your time and intelligence, this trilogy delivers exactly that. And if you just want proof that not every game needs to be a live service or battle royale to succeed, Lara Croft’s modern adventures provide that evidence in spades.

Grab it while the deal lasts. Your gaming backlog might groan under the weight of three more excellent games, but your wallet will thank you for the restraint.
