Backrooms: Escape Together costs ¥2,420 on the Japan PlayStation Store - about $15.34, or 23% below the US price, saving $4.65. That puts Japan 4th cheapest of the 17 storefronts carrying it.
Across the 569 games we track in both stores, Japan runs about 16% under the US price.
Backrooms: Escape Together beats that by 7 percentage points, at 23% off - one of the titles where this storefront is worth the account, rather than an average case.
Japan comes out cheapest for 86 of the 728 games we price.
Not for this game. Ukraine lists it at $10.84, $4.50 less than Japan, so if you're setting an account up specifically for this title that's the storefront to pick.
Worth weighing against the effort: a second PSN account is a separate library, separate trophies and a separate payment method, and the saving here is $4.65.
All 17 storefronts we track, converted to US dollars. Japan is highlighted.

Prices are only half of it. The Japanese store expects a payment method valid in Japan, and an account's region is fixed when the account is created - you can't switch an existing one over. Both are covered in detail here:
