Some video game classics are timeless. This week, Capcom is offering an express return to the 80s and 90s with an exceptional offer: around twenty legendary titles are available for $0.99 only, exclusively on PS4 and PS5via the PlayStation Store.
But be careful, this promotion is temporary: it expires February 5, 2026. If you grew up with arcade machines or want to discover forgotten gems at a low price, now is the time to take a trip to the Capcom Arcade Stadium.
An avalanche of classics for less than a dollar
The list of games affected by this offer is full of cult names. Among them:
- Mega Man: The Power Battle & Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo
- Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Final Fight
- Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire
- 1942, Progear, The King of Dragons, Bionic Commando, Strider
Whether you’re a fan of retro fighting, run and gun, shoot’em up or punishing platforms, there’s bound to be a title that will revive your nostalgic fiber.
These games aren’t “PS5 native”, but that doesn’t matter
It is specified that these games are not developed specifically for the PS5 or PS5 Pro. In reality, they rotate thanks to the PS4 backwards compatibilitywhich does not detract from the experience. These titles, some decades old, don’t need ultra-HD graphics to shine. They retain all their original charm and work perfectly on modern Sony consoles.
Capcom Arcade Stadium: the obligatory free hub
To enjoy these games, you have to go through the application Capcom Arcade Stadium Or Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadiumdownloadable for free from the PlayStation Store. Once installed, this “virtual terminal” allows you to launch the games you have purchased. Think of it like a digital arcade collection, where each $0.99 game adds to your selection. It may seem a little technical, but once set up, the experience is seamless and fully playable from your PS4 or PS5.
Why it’s arguably the best retro deal of the year
Capcom has rarely broken prices at this level. Below 1 dollar, these titles are almost cheap, especially when you know the usual price of some on other platforms like Steam. For collectors, nostalgics or the curious, this is the perfect opportunity to build a solid arcade library without blowing your budget. After February 5, it is unlikely to see these prices this low again.
