Until Dawn 2 is notably cheaper than most first-party PlayStation games, but is this anything to be worried about?
Until Dawn 2, the PS5-exclusive choice-and-consequence horror game, has opened for pre-orders on the PlayStation Store with a notably lower price point than typical first-party PlayStation releases. The base digital version is priced at £44.99 in the UK, approximately £25 less than recent Sony exclusives.
The pricing stands out considerably within PlayStation Studios’ lineup. Marvel’s Wolverine and Saros are both set at £70, while Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls was priced at £60. Until Dawn 2’s £45 price tag represents a significant undercut from this established premium tier.
The lower price is generating cautious optimism among consumers, though questions persist about the reasoning behind this strategy. Whether the pricing reflects the game’s scope, length, or represents a broader shift in how PlayStation approaches premium titles remains unclear.
The announcement arrives alongside the confirmation of Until Dawn 2’s release date, marking a significant milestone for the franchise. The original Until Dawn’s approach to player choice and branching narratives continues in the sequel, with pricing now potentially making the title more accessible than comparable AAA releases from the platform holder.
