Marathon players thought they bought the full game for $14 but will lose access to the base game after the free week.
During Marathon’s free-play week, some PlayStation players noticed they could purchase the Deluxe Edition for $14 after claiming the free trial, so they bought it thinking it was the full price.
However, the $14 purchase only included the Deluxe Edition extras, such as the Premium Rewards Pass, tokens, cosmetics, and other bonus content.
Because the free trial was active, the PS Store treated those accounts as if they already owned the base game and charged only for the upgrade.
When the free-play week ends on June 9, anyone who only claimed the trial will lose access to Marathon unless they purchase the base game separately.
Sony has since corrected the pricing issue, removed the $14 offer from the PlayStation Store, and some people are getting refunds.
I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!
