A classic PlayStation 2 game has plummeted in price, and it costs practically nothing. I loved this game back in the day.
The PlayStation 2 and original Xbox era has provided some of my best memories in gaming. Whether it’s God of War, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Silent Hill 2, Halo: Combat Evolved or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, those memories will last a lifetime.
That being said, while some of those titles were new IPs, there was always the sense that they were destined to be a huge success, especially those that are first-party properties.
But sometimes, an unexpected delight comes our way that was never on our radar. One such game is Fahrenheit or Indigo Prophecy, as it was known in North America, developed by Heavy Rain studio, Quantic Dream.
“In this paranormal thriller, New York City is stunned by a series of mysterious murders that follow the same pattern: ordinary people become possessed and kill absolute strangers in public,” reads the synopsis of Fahrenheit. “Play both sides of this breathtaking murder conspiracy and uncover the supernatural forces behind these crimes.”
Fahrenheit Is The Quantic Dream Blueprint
While its gameplay can feel a bit clunky (something that still existed in other Quantic Dreams titles), it had an immersive story from start to finish, and its ‘choose your own adventure’ and ‘interactive movie’ format would be the blueprint for the likes of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human.
Today, it’s not the easiest process of getting hold of a physical copy of Fahrenheit, let alone acquiring a console to play it on, all of which becomes quite expensive. Thankfully, you can still pick up the game digitally across multiple platforms.
As brought to our attention by Comicbook.com, as of right now, Fahrenheit is just £1.64 via the PlayStation Store and is playable on PS5 and PS4.
What’s more, if you subscribe to PS Plus, it’s just £1.09. In the US store, it costs $1.49/$2.24 (without PS Plus).
Moreover, on Steam, Fahrenheit costs even less at just £0.85/$0.99.
I know the game is also backwards compatible on modern Xbox consoles, but it no longer appears when I search on the store, so it may have been removed from the Microsoft platform.
Fahrenheit is only discounted on Steam until 8 December and 22 December 2025 on PlayStation.
So, if you’re curious to play the Quantic Dreams blueprint for next to nothing, now is the perfect chance.
Just try not to get stuck in the bathroom at the very beginning of the game.
