The Eternal Cylinder, the surreal survival adventure from Chilean indie studio ACE Team, is currently 70% off on the PlayStation Store - its lowest recorded price on the platform. The deal runs until July 2, 2026, after which the game returns to its standard price.
What Is The Eternal Cylinder?
In The Eternal Cylinder, players control a herd of adorable creatures called Trebhums and must explore a strange alien world filled with exotic lifeforms, surreal environments, and the constant threat of the Cylinder - a gargantuan rolling structure of ancient origin which crushes everything in its path.
The ecosystem is a massive, procedurally generated land with unique animal AI, real-time world destruction, and organic exploration and puzzle design to create emergent gameplay that ensures no two playthroughs are ever the same.
It is a single-player experience with no DLC or add-ons, meaning the discounted purchase delivers the complete game. PS Plus Premium members can also take advantage of cloud streaming.

Originally developed by ACE Team and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, the game first launched on September 30, 2021 for Windows PC, PS4, and Xbox One, before arriving on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 13, 2022.

For a game with procedurally generated worlds and no live-service overhead, this is a strong time to jump in - especially given that no paid DLC exists to inflate the eventual cost of ownership.
