Gamers can get the prequel to a new 90-rated game for under £5 – or for free

THIS year has already been a banner year for big games, with a number of high-profile games receiving great reviews so far in the short three months of 2024.

Among these games are Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, both of which achieved scores of over 90/100 on Metacritic.

However, there’s another great game in the works, and while reviews are only now trickling in, it’s already creating a lot of hype among gamers.

That game is Dragon’s Dogma 2, which releases later this week on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and currently has a Metacritic score of 90/100.

While gamers will have to wait a few more days to get their hands on the highly anticipated game, they can play the first part of the series while they wait, and there’s no better time than now.

That’s because Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen currently costs less than £5 on Nintendo Switch and Steam, and is even free to play for some PlayStation owners.

Players on Switch can buy Dragon’s Dogma for just £4.24, down from its usual price of £24.99, making it almost 85% off and an irresistible bargain for anyone interested in the game.

The price is even better on Steam, where it’s currently selling for just £3.83, which is another 85% off considering it retails for £23.99.

PlayStation owners get an even better deal, as they may not have to pay a dime to play it; the game is included in the PlayStation Plus Extra offer and can be played in its entirety without paying extra if you are a subscriber.

Unfortunately, Xbox gamers are in the dark about this, as the game remains full price on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and is not included in Xbox Game Pass.

Players will have to pay the full £20 if they want to play on Xbox, or wait until the game goes on sale in the future, which hopefully won’t be too long.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be released this Friday, March 22, 2024 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
