The recent success of the Deadpool & Wolverine <\/em>movie put Marvel back in the limelight, including its long-forgotten brand deals like Activision’s Deadpool <\/em>video game. Despite being delisted, the game is seeing a huge price surge as fans cash in on the Deadpool<\/em> craze. <\/p>
First reported by Tech4Gamers<\/a>, the 2013 Deadpool <\/em>game—which never received the warm reception it hoped for—has been rapidly increasing in price on third-party websites like eBay amid the enormous success of the third Deadpool <\/em>movie. It has been delisted for years now because Activision no longer holds the licenses to Marvel’s properties. According to Price Charting<\/a>, the game went from around $20 to $30 to upward of $150 for the PlayStation 4 version, and around $77 for its Xbox One release. <\/p>

Prices are more stable for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 options but still run as high as $40, which is quite a lot for a now-defunct 11-year-old game. The Xbox 360 marketplace shut down on July 29<\/a>, though it likely won’t have an impact on the game’s third-party pricing. <\/p>
For those unaware, Activision developed and published a licensed Deadpool <\/em>title all the way back in 2013. The game released to a lukewarm reception and has an average score of 62 on Metacritic<\/a>. Players liked it a tad better than critics, and gave the Xbox 360 version a 7.4 out of 10, which isn’t half bad. Still, it never saw much success and was delisted only a year later in 2014. It made a brief comeback in 2016 but left all storefronts in 2017 and hasn’t been available since. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
