The 2013 Deadpool video game has seen a surge in popularity due to the recent release of Deadpool & Wolverine, causing its retail price to significantly increase despite being a decade old.
The highly anticipated return of Hugh Jackman as Logan and some unexpected appearances have made Deadpool & Wolverine the talk of the town, breaking the record for the biggest opening weekend of an R-rated movie of all time in the MCU. The film has been highly praised, and audiences are flocking to theatres to see it.
Just as excitement surrounding Deadpool and Wolverine continues to build, fans are also taking a trip down memory lane by revisiting a beloved cult classic video game featuring the titular Deadpool. Although there are countless video game adaptations of popular superheroes, the 2013 Deadpool game stands out as the only one centered entirely on the quick-witted mercenary.
Despite making appearances in other video games, such as Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, those seeking a complete Deadpool gaming experience have only the 2013 title to rely on.
Due to its unavailability for digital purchase, individuals seeking to obtain the game, which is now a decade old, are facing steep costs. The rise in demand has caused those in possession of a physical copy to raise their prices significantly.
Based on data from Price Charting, the resale prices for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Deadpool are $30 USD. The Xbox One upgrade is priced at $50 USD, while the PS4 version has the highest resale value at $90 USD.
The latest postings for the game on websites like eBay indicate that all editions are currently priced at $100 USD or higher, with a few copies selling for $150 USD or above.
We have seen sales for an old video game skyrocket before. Both The Last of Us and The Witcher 3 experienced a significant increase in sales after their respective TV show adaptations were released.
Despite the scarcity of the Deadpool video game and its limited availability for online purchase, individuals who possess a physical copy in their collections have the opportunity to earn a significant profit on a game that is over a decade old.
The highly anticipated film, Deadpool & Wolverine, is currently playing in cinemas worldwide and is the only MCU movie scheduled for release in 2024.
