Most regional price gaps we write about run 20 to 50%. Then there’s a smaller group of games where the gap between the cheapest and priciest tracked region isn’t a discount at all, it’s a completely different price point for the same purchase. Ghost of Tsushima is $14.65 in Turkey and $94.82 in Sweden. Same game, same digital copy, over 6x apart.
Where the biggest gaps actually show up
| 🇹🇷 Ghost of Tsushima (Turkey) | $14.65 | |
| 🇸🇪 Ghost of Tsushima (Sweden) | $94.82 | +547% |
| 🇹🇷 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Turkey) | $5.32 | |
| 🇵🇱 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Poland) | $34.67 | +552% |
Watch Dogs: Legion and Mortal Kombat 11 both show a similar pattern, Turkey priced around $10, the priciest tracked region well past $60. Persona 5 Royal spans from about $13 in Ukraine to roughly $68 in Singapore.
Why the gap gets this wide, not just noticeable
A normal 20-30% gap, the kind Turkey or Ukraine usually show, comes from Sony pricing in local currency and not rewriting it every time the exchange rate moves. The really extreme gaps stack a second factor on top: older or catalog titles that Sony has repriced down hard in a handful of specific regions, sometimes to a fraction of the launch price, while other regions still reflect something closer to the original number. The cheap side of these gaps isn’t really “Turkey is cheap”, it’s “this specific older title got a steep regional repricing that a currency-driven discount alone wouldn’t produce.”
These aren’t glitches or pricing errors that will get corrected. They’re the same regional pricing mechanism as any other game, just with a wider spread because of when and how steeply a specific title got repriced in each region.
Why this matters more than the average gap
A 25% discount on a $70 game saves you about $17. A game showing one of these outlier gaps can save 5 to 10 times that, in relative terms, on the exact same purchase. The catch is that the size of the gap is entirely game-specific and won’t show up by checking a “cheap region” in general, it only shows up by checking the actual game.
Checking a specific game before assuming anything
PS Prices Hub shows every tracked region’s price for the game you’re looking at, right on its PlayStation Store page, in your currency, so an outlier gap like these shows up immediately instead of requiring you to already know which titles have one. Our price comparison table covers a running set of popular games across the full region ranking if you want to browse before installing anything.
The bigger picture
Most games don’t show a gap anywhere near this wide, and assuming every title will is a mistake in the other direction. For the general mechanics behind why PlayStation Store prices differ by region at all, see our guide to the cheapest PSN region. If a specific game’s gap is big enough to act on, the actual mechanics of setting up an account in a cheaper region are covered in how to change your PSN region.
