A PlayStation 4 video game from 2015 has become a hot commodity in the gaming world thanks to the recent release of the highly anticipated film Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans are scrambling to get their hands on Deadpool, with prices skyrocketing on eBay to as high as £330 for an unopened copy in pristine condition.
The game, originally released in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, has become increasingly rare as it is no longer available for digital download. Gamers are now seeking out physical copies to experience the Deadpool madness.
The star-studded film, featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the iconic characters, has made a big splash at the box office with the sixth biggest opening ever. The buzz surrounding the film, along with the popularity of its stars, has caused the price of the game to steadily climb since filming began in May 2023.
According to PriceCharting, the game could have been snagged for as low as £9 back in May 2018, but now it’s reaching record highs as fans clamor to own a piece of the Deadpool phenomenon.
Ryan Reynolds expressed his gratitude to fans on Instagram for the film’s success, calling it “kind of hard to process.” The actor, along with Rob McElhenney, also made headlines for their purchase of a Welsh football club in 2020, a journey that was captured in the TV series Welcome to Wrexham.
