PS Store Adds Another Layer of Transparency to PS5, PS4 Game Pricing 1

The PS Store has gradually been getting better throughout the PS5's lifecycle, and another update has arrived on the console storefront to make your purchases that little bit more informed.

In an update that's rolling out globally at the time of writing, Sony has made it so that a game's PS Store page now shows the price at which the game launched.

So, for example, The Last of Us: Part I is going for £31.49 in the current sale, but above the current price, you can now see the game's launch price — in this case, £69.99.

If you highlight it, the PS Store will tell you the game's price at launch, which it maintained for at least its first 30 days on sale.

Below the launch price, the PS Store shows the lowest price a game has been in the last 30 days, which has been implemented since October of last year.

It all helps to make the PS Store a more transparent place to shop; we presume this newly added detail is some sort of legal requirement in certain markets, hence the sudden appearance, but it's appreciated all the same.

The PS Store still doesn't quite have the same level of granular information as sites like psprices or dekudeals, which include all kinds of metrics like Metascores, lowest-ever prices, and more. It's a step in the right direction, though.
