This classic PS2 game we all played is worth $10,000

First in the hearts of gamers, and first in the sales rankings, the PS2 is without a doubt the most popular console of all time. It has also been home to many cult classics. Resident Evil 4, GTA: San Andreas, and Metal Gear Solid 3 are some of the many titles that have forged the success of the Sony console.

PS2 games are the most sought-after today

Good news for seasoned collectors, some of these little treasures can be sold for a fortune. After Kuon, the horror game from FromSofware that sold for more than $8,000, it's the turn of a cult licence to be the centre of attention: God of War.

The first God of War released on PS2 is worth a fortune

Back in 2005 when the world first discovered Kratos, the charismatic warrior, with the release of God of War on PS2. Although there is a remaster: God of War Collection released on PlayStation 3, the first opus remains the most coveted. So much so that its price has skyrocketed in recent months. A sale was concluded in 2021 for $10,000, according to the site Price Charting. Since then, several editions have sold for between $1,000 and $7,000. The most recent sale was on July 9, 2022, when the auction sold for $1,600.

Why is it so expensive?

Although the prices seem impressive, it is always necessary to remember that the game is in exceptional condition, in its original box and with its manual. In other words, it is a true collector's item that has certainly not been used by its lucky owner.

Second-hand, you can expect between $15 and $200 depending on the condition. One thing is for sure, the game's price has risen significantly since the announcement of the next God of War: Ragnarök, whose release date is fast approaching.
