Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Yet on PS5, Switch, and Xbox
The Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake only launched late last year, but the remake of the classic RPG is down to its lowest price ever on multiple platforms at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.
On PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is now only $34.99 — $25 off its $59.99 MSRP. That also puts it at the lowest price new physical copies have ever been, according to price trackers like CamelCamelCamel.
There are some exceptions to the deal depending on the platform and store. For instance, and Amazon only have the PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions bumped down to the new 42% off price, whilst the Xbox Series X versions are still marked at $59.94.
This multi-retailer deal hasn’t seemed to have hit all major stories either, with Walmart’s range of the game still around its regular price. Still, Best Buy and GameStop have the game on all three console platforms for $34.99 each, so you’ve got some good options — even if you’re playing on Xbox.
If you’re shopping in the UK, Hit has the PS5 and Xbox versions of the remake on sale as well, for £39.85 and £37.85 respectively. If you’re in the UK and you want to play on Nintendo Switch or PS5 stock runs out, Amazon UK has copies of the Dragon Quest III remake on sale too for £44.85 and £42.95.
Being a modernised remake of the start to the series’ beloved Erdrick Trilogy, Dragon Quest III is still an immersive treat in its HD-2D form that makes this a deal more than worth jumping on, if you hadn’t the chance to try it out already.
In our IGN review of the game by Logan Plant, he called it a “shining example of how to remake a classic RPG and a brilliant reminder of why the original is an essential work”. Granted, there a few areas that could’ve used a bit of extra modernisation, but those are few and far between — being an amazing remake effort for a 37-year-old game.
