The success of God of War III Remastered underlines one of the key points about pricing: the correct price is what players are willing to pay. That’s definitely a bullish price, but it ended up working out for Sony since the lack of exclusives at the time meant that the remaster sold very well. By the time that SCE Santa Monica’s game got ported to PlayStation 4 it was already five years old, and could regularly be bought for around $10. Another first-party title that went for a higher price was God of War III Remastered, which released at $39.99. That’s a very special scenario, though, since it was released at the very end of the PlayStation 3’s lifespan. For when it was released, and how much work went into it, I have absolutely no issue with that price point. I thought this got totally overblown since a typical “Game of the Year” release would go for that price, and this version didn’t only include all of the non-cosmetic DLC, but also looked and ran better. Coming out about a year after the original released on PlayStation 3, the game received some backlash due to its $49.99 price point. The most notable is one of the PlayStation 4’s first remasters: The Last of Us Remastered. While $19.99 may be the norm (per game, as three game collections often retail for $59.99), there are several games that were priced higher. While the move worked out, EA would buy exclusivity for the NFL license, and that’s the last time the pricing experiment occurred. Gamers may remember that in a last ditch attempt at competing with Electronic Arts’ Madden series, NFL 2K5 debuted at under 20 dollars, and was by far the most successful entry in Visual Concept’s football franchise. This should come as no surprise as $19.99 has also been the price-point for “Greatest Hits” titles, and has long been considered a budget price for games. Secondly, it’s a low enough of a price that those who haven’t played a game are willing to give it a shot. First, it’s where those who have already enjoyed a game feel good about double dipping. That seems to be the sweet spot for two main reasons.

While there are exceptions (and I’ll take a look at some those cases below), it seems like the average price of a PS2 or PS3 game getting remastered is $19.99. This won’t include any sale prices, just what the set MSRP was when the game originally launched. After all, it’s important to know the landscape of a business before you try to give some analysis.

Note that Infinite landed on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in March 2013.Ī few extra goodies are thrown into The Collection, including a director's commentary reel called Imagining BioShock starring series creator Ken Levine, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the original BioShock's development called Museum of Orphaned Concepts. Also, BioShock Infinite has not been remastered for PC because "it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings," 2K Games says. There are a few caveats here: BioShock 2 in particular won't feature multiplayer content in the new bundle. Specifically, BioShock: The Collection includes remastered versions of BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite, plus all of their single-player DLC packs.
