PS4 gamers looking to upgrade their living room set-up to include an Xbox Series X or PS5 need to have a rummage through their collection, as a rare PlayStation 4 game is worth more than a next-gen console.
PS4 fans that want to upgrade and get a PS5 or Xbox Series X should double check they have a rare and expensive game in their collection. Retro gaming website PriceCharting has released new figures for games and consoles that have shot up in price recently. And one rare game will be of particular interest to PS4 gamers, as the title released for Sony's console is worth more than a PS5 or Xbox Series X console.
This game is the collector's edition of Yoko Taro's critically acclaimed and brilliant NieR Automata.
A loose version of this PS4 game (i.e missing box) is worth a whopping £538. A complete boxed copy is worth £649, while a brand new version will set you back over £1,000.
This new pricing information was revealed in a recent Hot Items list released by PriceCharting. This gives a rundown of the games or consoles which have experienced the biggest price jump in the past week.
If you're lucky to have this version of NieR in your collection, and are looking to get a next-gen console, it means you could sell it and put the funds towards a PS5 or Xbox Series X - if you're looking to save a bit of cash.
This past week there have been a number of PS5 restocks, including a recent one at GAME where a Horizon Forbidden West bundle was available.
While the Xbox Series X has also been consistently in stock at a number of retailers, including Amazon who still have stock of the Microsoft console available today.
If you're looking to make a quick profit to help fund the purchase of your next-gen console, there are other rare collectibles to look out for.
While the collector's edition of NieR Automata is one of the most desired PS4 games around, it isn't the most expensive.
If you're looking at loose prices, then top honours go to indie game Tamashii with a loose copy worth over £1,110.
But if you're looking at brand new prices then Poop Slinger is the game you'll want, with an unopened copy of this game worth almost £2,500.
