In a rather odd turn of events, the PlayStation store may be rolling out dynamic pricing for certain games. Specifically, Astro Bot appears to be the target of this experiment. I first noticed that the game was discounted a few days ago on the mobile app. I was surprised that this sale was not advertised on major video game websites. Curious, I went onto my browser and searched for the game on the PlayStation store while being signed out. It was $59.99. I signed in and it appeared as $44.99.
My investigation led me to a Reddit post (see below) that revealed others are experiencing discounts for the game ranging from 5-25%.
The question is how this discount is being determined. I have maxed out PS Stars, so I asked a friend who has not opted in. Their listed price was $59.99. This is far from a confirmation but represents a possibility. We will have to wait and see if this is a fluke or if Sony plans to expand this practice in the future.
Already a 20% discount for Astro Bot.
