Summary
The nine-year-old PlayStation 4 version of theDeadpoolvideo game is suddenly way more expensive than it used to be. TheDeadpoolvideo game was first released for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in 2013. Due to expiring licenses, theDeadpoolgame was delisted from all digital storefronts in 2014. It was then remastered for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015 but was once again removed due to expiring licenses just a couple of years later.
It’s been a whopping seven years since the last timeDeadpoolfans were able to buy the video game digitally, forcing anyone interested to stick with physical secondhand copies.Physical copies of delisted video games tend to go upin price, but the PS4 and Xbox One versions ofDeadpoolare getting even more ridiculously expensive than ever before.
Copies of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of theDeadpoolgame remaster are being listed at north of $100 on sites like eBay, meaning anyone interested in trying the over-the-top action-adventure game will have to shell out serious cash. It seems likely that the game’s prices are going up so high because of thehuge success of theDeadpool & Wolverinemovie.Deadpool & Wolverinehas smashed box office records and grossed over $438 million worldwide in its first weekend alone. It stands to reason that there may be some interested in playing a video game starring the Merc With a Mouth after seeing the movie, hence the ballooning price of used physical copies.
Deadpool Video Game Prices Are Getting Out of Control
It’s a shame that theDeadpoolvideo gameisn’t readily available on digital storefronts, but there’s always a chance it could return one day. Perhaps Marvel and Activision will see the increased interest in the game and work out some kind of deal to re-release it a second time. After all, native PS5 and Xbox Series X versions could definitely drum up some more interest in the game. Nothing to that effect has been announced, though, and so fans who can’t wait for a potential re-release will have to pay quite a bit to get their hands on a copy of the game.
As for the game’s quality, theDeadpoolgame earned somewhat mixed reviews at the time of its release. It was praised for nailing the Deadpool character, but many felt that the gameplay was a little too repetitive and uninteresting. Perhaps a brand-newDeadpoolvideo game would be even better than another remaster of this older title, but who knows if that will ever happen. For now, Marvel is teaming with Insomniac on games likeWolverine, and it also has projects like theMarvel Rivalshero-shooterin the works as well.

WHERE TO PLAY
There are a few important things I need to say before you crack into my insanely sweet game. (Oof. Here we go again.) I’m a mercenary with an accelerated healing factor. I’ve been described as unstable, which is just plain coo-coo. (Wait, do sane people say coo-coo?) I’m gonna battle for the safety of humans and mutants. (And even mumans.) Be prepared for just about anything. (Holla!)
