Unlike digital downloads, physical PS5 discs are an asset you can liquidate. Because PlayStation doesn’t put its biggest hits on a subscription service on Day 1, physical copies of games like Spider-Man 2 or God of War: Ragnarok hold their value incredibly well.
Pawnability Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) High demand. Faster flip time than Xbox games.

Steelbooks: The Secret Multiplier
Pawn brokers aren’t always gamers, but they know “Shiny Metal Case = Expensive.” If you have the Steelbook Edition of a game, put it on the counter separately.
- Standard Case Offer: $10
- Steelbook Case Offer: $15 - $20
The “Greatest Hits” Penalty
On PS4, Sony re-released popular games with a Red Banner that says “Greatest Hits.” Pawn shops often offer less for these versions because they look “budget.”
- Original Black Label: Preferred by collectors.
- Red Label: Seen as the “bargain bin” version.
Summary
Focus on Sony Exclusives and RPGs. These are the games that pawn shops want because they sell fast. Leave the annual sports titles at home.

How We Calculate Pawn Values
Our price ranges are derived from publicly available data sources, including advertised pawn shop quotes, completed marketplace transactions, and community-reported offers. We apply consistent data processing methods:
- Deduplication and standardization of model names, storage tiers, and condition grades
- Outlier handling using winsorization or Tukey IQR methods
- Aggregation into condition buckets (A/B/C) with 20–80 percentile bands
Each guide includes a Batch ID and links to a downloadable sample CSV for transparency. For complete details on our methodology, data sources, and refresh cadence, see our full Methodology page .
FAQ
Do pawn shops buy PS4 games in 2026?
Yes, but only the classics. God of War (2018), The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima still fetch $5–$10. Random shovelware is worthless.
Are Steelbook editions worth more?
Yes! A Steelbook case can double the pawn offer. It signals a 'Collector Edition' to the broker.
Can I pawn scratched discs?
Blu-ray discs (PS4/PS5) are hard to scratch, but if they are damaged, they are worthless. * **Scratched Discs:** Inspect the bottom of the disc under a light. Deep circular scratches ("laser burns") make the game worthless. <img src="/images/ps_disc_scratch_inspection.webp" alt="Comparison of a clean PS4 disc versus a scratched disc under a magnifying glass" class="rounded-lg shadow-md my-6" /> Pawn shops check the shiny side immediately.
