Metroid Dread Physical Prices Soar as Fans Wait for Ravenous

If you have been hunting for a physical copy of Metroid Dread lately, you might have noticed a steep jump in prices. Collectors are currently paying a premium for the game on sites like eBay, with some sealed copies trading for nearly 200 dollars. It is a tough time to be a completionist trying to round out a Switch library.

This sudden surge in interest is largely fueled by the excitement surrounding the upcoming game, Metroid Ravenous. Fans are eager to see where Samus Aran goes next, and many are revisiting her latest adventure to get ready for the sequel. The demand for physical media remains high, even years after the initial release of Dread.

Prices for the Special Edition are even higher than standard copies, making it a difficult find for those on a budget. Whether you are looking to play the game or keep it as a display piece, be prepared to pay well over the original retail price. For now, it seems like fans are willing to pay whatever it takes to secure their own piece of Metroid history.
