Sony Reduces Cyberpunk 2077's UK PS Store Price

Thanks for this. I will be pre-ordering this tomorrow.

Yea saw this yesterday, that's the way it should be. The UK store has just seemed too expensive with everything for far too long.

Physical copy of this game is still cheaper in the states. Plus I couldn't pass up the included map. Feel like that could be helpful. We'll see though.

I got it for £48.88 from Simply Games - but then I've also pre-ordered the guide and totally wiped out any savings. But there's just something so comfy about using a nice hardback official guide.

What is going on here? Sony reducing the price! A bonus for those buying it digitally.

I bought a load of PSN credit codes at 20% off a while back, so this works out at £40 for me digital now. But digital is always more expensive, apparently. OK.

@S1ayeR74 Almost like they want to give you as much incentive as possible to give up your game rights where they also make the largest profit cut.

@Matroska I’ve ordered the strategy guide book as well. Unfortunately these guide books seem to be becoming something of a rarity nowadays.

@S1ayeR74 I'd take a guess and say it's CDPR telling Sony the price rather than Sony being generous.

@Nightcrawler71 used to love a good strategy guide. Halcyon days.
A game like Cyberpunk at least makes more sense for a guide as I don't think the main story or side missions would change too much. Not like your average live service or multiplayer game.

I remember I had the deluxe edition of Demon's Souls on the PS3. Came with a strategy guide. For some reason back then I traded the game. I would have loved that guide now with my PS5 replay.

@Menchi a pc master racer lecturing on game ownership? Where were you when i was dodging Starforced discs and was endlessly told steam was the future? What's next, price cuts on animal crossing?

I’ve already noticed some PS5 game prices match uk rrp, hopefully this is the official policy going forward. It was crazy that new PS4 games were £10+ more on psn than their physical counterparts.

A good start, but platform holders need to implement a way to trade back and buy second hand before digital comes anywhere near the value of physical.

Digital games should be cheaper than retail. It's always baffled why they're always a tenner dearer.

This is what p****S me off about digital. There’s zero reason for a digital game to cost more than retail. In fact it should be in reverse.

Is just a convenient way for Sony to make better margins while screwing the customer a little...

Can’t complain price reductions are only ever good. Sony need to lower the price of the first party titles on the store, £70 for a game with no resell value or anything physical to keep. Crazy.

@NEStalgia The beauty of cracks

In the Dutch store its 70 euro for the digital version, pre-ordered the physical version for 52 euro. And that's why i bought the PS5 disc edition and not went Digital only.

Same with Immortals: Fenyx Rising, store 70 euro and physical 56 euro. Almost 35 euros saved on just 2 games.

@Nightcrawler71 why on earth would you buy a guide? Isn’t it more fun to play games blind?
Each to their own I’m not having a go, just curious.

Having the mental capacity of a 5 year old I always buy physical, as I often get bored within a week.... I have ordered this on disc, but if it grabs me will buy it digitally, as it takes months to complete

@solocapers Very true yes I doubt it’s Sony doing anything generous.. considering they’ve raised game prices.

@S1ayeR74 But But sad xbox fanboys wil claim sony DOESN'T care about its customers 🤣 sony reducing prices #ForThePlayers

And so what it disc versions ps5 games now £70 people wouldn't be bothered if that £70 included season pass like the only edition can buy with season pass 🤔 would think people wouldn't be too bothered that extra money really season pass or some big DLC packs ect, but I'd say on digital side could offer same or option little cheaper without pass can add later at reduced price

@ApostateMage I think it's Tax.

😶- Bought the PS4 Disc version at Amazon for $49.94 U.S dollars to play on my PS5.
Besides digital prices stay stagnantly high for far too long before permanently dropping price, PS sale prices aren't competitive within the SAME timeframe as the Physical Disc versions of the game.
If MS and Sony weren't greedy and followed price reductions at the SAME speed as STEAM for digital then maybe, but they don't, so physical disc's for any consoles that I own.

@Nightcrawler71
Yeah some were really good looking and nice collectors item.
But they just don't sell anymore because everybody and their mother has a youtube guide or forum so the people won't pay when its free
Sad but thats how it is.

@Falkirk4life Are you feeling alright? You seem triggered for some unknown reason? Perhaps it’s the confusion of Sony increasing game prices to £69 and then reducing others?

@Arnna For me it's more about detailed information than walkthroughs for the quests. I have the FFXII guide and I didn't use it for quest solutions but for the enormous items lists and bestiary. It also tells you what could be in each chest which is great because chests might only appear a certain percent of the time and have different chances of different things in - some items only have a 1 in 10,000 chance. The guide was great for that kind of stuff.

Then you get stuff like Tales of Vesperia where many side quests only appear at very specific times at places you'd have no other reason to be at that point - and are permanently missable along with any consequent quests in the chain.

@KidBoruto ive been playing games seriously since 1990-ish and I’ve managed to 100% whatever I like without guides.

But as another commenter said they could be useful for item lists and beastiaries.

@Nightcrawler71 The piggyback Final Fantasy books such beauties. You do have some crappy ones around though the Batman one was terrible.

@KidBoruto I have no idea why someone would want to ruin every surprise in a videogame... Control issues... sheesh.
