Old PlayStation Game Selling for £600
You might want to check if there’s an old PlayStation 2 game in your attic worth £600. That’s equivalent to the cost of two brand new PS5s starting at around £350. However, you’re unlikely to be so lucky because most gamers don’t own this rare Japanese game that was released in 2004.
PlayStation 2 Game Kuon: Survival Horror in Ancient Japan
Kuon is a survival horror game set in ancient Japan and developed by FromSoftware, the brains behind Dark Souls. The video game developer is known for popular games like Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, among others. These games have largely gained a cult following for their unique gameplay and high difficulty.
Kuon wasn’t a huge success when it was released, but over time it has been hailed as a true classic. The game is divided into three narratives set in Fujiwara Manor in Kyoto, where immortals roam. It currently retails for around £600 and collectors are prepared to spend serious sums to hold it in their possession. What makes the game so valuable is not only its rarity, but also the eerie in-game environment.
According to players, Kuon slowly creeps up on you and makes you feel increasingly uncomfortable, rather than the sudden jumps of typical horror games. YouTubers and influencers have been raving about the game, and fans who picked it up years ago are very grateful. On social media, gamers and influencers are sharing their rare finds, increasing the value of the game.
When Kuon receives this kind of attention, its monetary value skyrockets. If you’ve got £600 in your pocket and you love horror games, Kuon might be worth it. Remember, if you own a piece of gaming history, it could be even more valuable in a few years’ time.
