Metaphor: ReFantazio, the new critically-acclaimed RPG from the team behind the Persona series, including Persona 5 Royal, has gone on sale for the first time since release with a meaty discount. Atlus released the new RPG back on October 11. Since then it has sold over one million units, a modest success, and earned a Game of the Year nomination at The Game Awards 2024. Considering it has a 94 on Metacritic, the third highest rating of the year, neither of these things are very surprising. What is surprising though is that it already has a meaty discount a month later.

Right now, on Amazon, the game is currently 29 percent off, which means $49.99 rather than its standard $69.99 asking price. This is the first time it has gone on sale, and consequently is the lowest price the game has ever been. Unfortunately, the deal is limited to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of the title.
The Xbox Series X|S digital version has also gone on sale, at the same time, via the Microsoft Store, but this deal is only for 25 percent off, which means the game is $52.49. This is the first time the game has gone on sale digitally as well. Again though, other platforms have been left out on the cold.
How long the Amazon deal is going to be available we don’t know because Amazon does not disclose this information. The Microsoft Store deal on the other hand we know will expire on December 3.
