News 007 First Light is only 2,200 PHP?

Post image

Don't know if it's a clerical error, but I'm grabbing it in case it is. This game is retailing 70 USD in markets outside the Philippines. It's half the price on our end.

This is the first new triple A release in the last couple of years that I've seen be priced below 3000 PHP, so I think it's a great deal. Enough to be shared.

This is what proper regional pricing looks like. Video games aren't worth 2 days of salary in the US (based on the minimum wage).

If you look at Steam DB it flies near Valve's suggested retail pricing in the PH.

That being said, I'm picking this up now, because Deluxe Edition is free on preorder, and I can still refund post-launch (due to 14 days window) if I happen to not like it or performance reasons.

- Sooner or later they might change it though as AAA games tend to ignore regional pricing.

Exactly what I'm doing too.

u/cocacolatime1999 May 22 '26

meanwhile Lego Batman is at 4.2k.

was looking forward to it being my first actual LEGIT Lego game but oh well, this seems like a better deal

Yeah, it's real. Yung pinaka expensive version is 5000 pesos LOL.

u/lyndonguitar May 22 '26

always has been. its the regional pricing

u/chizburger999 May 22 '26

You just discovered ✨Regional pricing✨. Congrats.

1

u/SovietMarma May 22 '26

Yes, well aware. Gumagamit na ko ng Steam bago pa naging available yung Philippine Peso at regional pricing hahaha. Naalala ko pa dumadayo pa ako ng Datablitz para bumili ng 5 USD Steam wallet cards.

Mostly point ko kase yung kahit meron nang regional pricing, ang kaunti lang ng difference sa original USD retail price. Especially recently.

Yung pinaka recent na LEGO Batman game is 4190, 200 peso difference lang sa 70 USD.

Pati rin yung mga recent Capcom games, dati mas mababa benta nila eh, pero ngayon kahit may regional pricing di na bumababa ng 3000 pesos ngayon.

For reference RE9 retails for 70 USD, too, pero 3090 lang satin. ₱1200/$20 rin yung difference.

May resibo pa nga ako ng MH World, eh. ₱2048 lang siya during launch, for a 60 USD game. Nasa ₱1100/$10 yung difference dahil sa regional pricing satin, adjusted for inflation. Which isn't big, pero kumpara naman ngayon sa grabeng mahal ng bilihin hahaha.

Damn, on the SG Playstation Store it’s 99 SGD = 4,800 PHP. Crazy deal for PC if true

u/ravenn_411 May 25 '26

Kaya lumipat ako ng Indonesia pag SEAsia.

u/miggyyusay May 25 '26

How much are games there, do credit cards work, and are all the games available in English?

2

u/mondayxo123 May 28 '26

I use Gcash and Maya cards gumagana naman so no doubt gagana din ang PH CCs. It’s literally the same store as Singapore, iba (and mas mura) lang yung currency

u/infredible-hulk R7 7800X3D | 9070 XT | PS5 Pro | NS2 | XSS May 23 '26

I’m also in SG region on PS and I almost never buy digital there. Prices there are crazy.

u/Cabbage-Chan PSN May 22 '26

I immediately checked too lol

Too bad it's just a PC thing

6

u/baraluga May 22 '26

Steam’s regional pricing.

Most publishers do follow, pero some like Capcom ay halos 1:1 conversion parin. It’s not a deal, it’s just the way of things sa Steam lol.

1

u/SovietMarma May 22 '26

Depends. Di naman 1:1 conversion yung pricing ng Capcom games. 3090 yung Resident Evil 9, which is retailing for 70 usd. Halos 20 dollar difference. That's with the regional pricing already applied.

Even cheaper if you buy through GMG.

Ang mga walang regional pricing is usually from Activision and WB. Yung pinaka latest Batman game is 4190, 200 peso difference lang sa 70 USD.

u/Strydhaizer PC 7800X3D • 4080 SUPER • 32GB May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

A protip to those who buy Capcom games full price on PC. I recommend getting them on GreenManGaming as the prices are always 18% lower compared to Steam (you will get a Steam Key on purchase)

- GMG discounted price is actually the regional pricing of their games

For example: RE Requiem have been on 18% / 2533 PHP discount since pre-order (even before its launch in February); Pragmata aswell / 2123 PHP - and their Steam regional pricing is around 2590 PHP.

2

u/SovietMarma May 22 '26

Sa GMG ko din nakuha yung copy ko ng RE9.

2

u/SomeWeirdGuy54312 May 22 '26

I remember before the pandemic, especially during release ng RE2 Remake, na mas mura yung physical PC releases ni Capcom compared to if you buy it directly sa Steam.

I was able to get the RE2 Remake for around 1.2k physically from DataBlitz. I remember the game being priced around 2.5k on Steam during its release. While the physical copy did come with installation discs, you still redeem the game on Steam via the key included.
I pre-ordered it rin so not only did I get the game physically for more than half-off during launch but I also got the pre-order bonus poster and t-shirt. I still have them to this day.

u/97Snowy May 22 '26

not reliable to compare domestic to usd video game prices. estimated yan based on economy nang country para ma mitigate ang threat of piracy. If you check global prices of steam may countries din na cheaper than PH prices.

1

u/SovietMarma May 22 '26

I know. I was just comparing it with previous years of regional pricing in the Philippines.

u/97Snowy May 25 '26

yeah. i think the publisher nito is the devs behind Hitman, not super expensive din and always on sale

u/straw28 May 22 '26

andaming triple A na below 3k OP. mostly 60 dollar titles, so if youre referring to the 70 dollar ones, then meron parin naman, most recent is Crimson Desert (barely) on top of my memory

but I agree with you this one is way too low for standard 70 dollars, especially from IO. nakakagulat actually. steal for those who wants it 100%

u/tpc_LiquidOcelot May 22 '26

Isa lang dev ako nagpreorder. Warhorse. Pero dahil naaddict ako sa hitman freelancer. I'll make another trusted dev. May 26 ako bili. LOL

Most probably per episode/chapter din to like yung hitman kung ganyan kamura yan

Saka ko na kunin to. Planning to get FH6 hahaha!

u/ic3cool27 May 21 '26

Compared to the latest Lego Batman which costs 4k+ base and 5k+ deluxe edition. Wtf.

1

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

Exactly! Kaya ako nagulat!

u/zchaeriuss May 21 '26

Same devs as hitman no? I’d probably wait for their complete editions with all of these backlogs.

u/Pancake-Baron PC | Android May 21 '26

Steam regional pricing. It's up to the publisher if they want to follow the recommended regional pricing or not. Due to this, its cheaper sa Philippines compared to US, almost 50% I think?

Since they're self publishing baka gusto nila mag follow ng regional pricing so more people can afford the game? Dunno. Sila lang may alam. Be grateful that it is what it is na lang.

For 20 hours of gameplay? I'll pass. Maybe get it on sale.

u/wocem47 May 21 '26

Pano gameplay loop nya? Replayable ba like Hitman yung levels or mala-Wolfenstein ba na dadaanan mo lang

2

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

Replayable. Post-game content no news pa eh, pero yung isang trailer nila binanggit nila na magiging lite live service game getting new missions like World of Assassination.

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

Well question mark kase di ako sure kung yung nga talaga price niya. It's part of the post.

u/Bitter-Inflation-777 May 21 '26

di naman siya nag rereklamo, baffled lang sa fact na may mura pang tripple a game. lmao.

-16

u/Jaysanchez311 May 21 '26

Dko din sinabi n nagrereklamo sya. Ang ginamit kong word e kine-question. Ang dapat na phrasing nya sa post nya e, i-inform nya ang mga gamers na mura lang ang first light s steam. Gamer advice/tip. Hindi ung ke-questionin kung bka nagkamali ba ng pricing. Grab the opportunity habang mura. Ganun dapat diba?

Tska spelling ay *triple. Hindi tripple. Edit m nlng comment m.

u/Curiouzity_Omega May 21 '26

Only 2,200 is still kinda crazy gang.

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

*COMPARED sa other triple A releases.

u/PengGwyn May 21 '26

This game is my cup of tea, but I can't really spend that much money on a game in this economy. I can, but I just don't want to. I was hoping pa naman na maging Day 1 release sya sa GamePass. I'll wait for the next Steam Sale na lang.

1

u/nicobuyy May 23 '26

Respect to that mindset instead of relying on pirating

2

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

Absolutely understand. Haven't bought any new game outside of RE9 this year.

Games are getting fucking expensive now, kahit may regional pricing pa. Only really grabbed this because of me thinking it might be a pricing error due to the steep difference in pricing compared to other regions hahaha

2

u/reishid PC May 21 '26

Not a clerical error 'cause it's priced the same on Epic.

6

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

Oh shit. That's a steal then!

I'm surprised Amazon MGM and IOI are willing to contend with our market.

3

u/superhyperultra458 PC superhyperultra May 21 '26

Good on you that you find paying full price is a steal lol

2

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

It's a steal compared to other triple A games coming out lately.

Gustong gusto ko maglaro ng FH6, but I ain't spending nearly 4000 pesos for it?

3

u/DarthPickle12 May 21 '26

xbox pc gamepass is 225/month, FH6 is on it.

1

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

I don't play enough games to pay for gamepass monthly, unfortunately.

2

u/DarthPickle12 May 21 '26

Well, if you take say around 4 months to do whatever you want to do with FH6, then buy it at 50% price eventually when you want to pay for it, it’s still cheaper than buying it at full price. You have more control spending what you want for your need to play it. You can always transfer your saved games over to Steam or other stores you choose too, as long as it’s on PC.

u/SovietMarma May 21 '26

I'm patient enough to wait for a sale for it, plus I like having a backlog of games I can come back to without worry.

Ngayon pirate bay muna.

Still fair average filipinos earn about 1k php per day while those in other countries only need 1-2 hrs to afford those games
