The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling console of all time – over 155 million units sold. Yet there are games that trade for hundreds of euros today. Some even for thousands.
Why? Because certain PS2 games were released in Europe (PAL region) in tiny quantities. Low print run + high demand = collector prices.
Here are the 10 most expensive PS2 games you can find in Europe.
Current Price: ~€300-800 (CIB)
The undisputed grail of PS2 collectors. Rule of Rose is a survival horror game from 2006 that was never officially released in several European countries or was even banned. In Germany it was never published – the PAL versions from the UK and other countries are correspondingly rare.
Why so expensive?
Fun Fact: There were even debates in the EU Parliament about this game – which naturally drove the price up even further.
Current Price: ~€350-500 (CIB)
FromSoftware – yes, the makers of Dark Souls and Elden Ring – made a horror game for the PS2 in 2004. And almost nobody bought it. Kuon is set in medieval Japan and is an atmospheric survival horror experience.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€300-400 (CIB)
From SUDA51 (the creator of No More Heroes) comes this bizarre game where you play as a cameraman documenting a disaster in Michigan for a news team. Released only in Europe and Japan – never published in the US.
Why so expensive?

Capcom's underrated survival horror classic from 2005. You play as Fiona, who must escape a creepy castle with her dog Hewie. Often called the spiritual successor to Clock Tower.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€500-900 (CIB)
A compilation of SNK classics released in Europe in a tiny print run. Contains Sengoku 1, 2, and 3 – classic beat-'em-ups from the 90s.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€250-320 (CIB)
The PAL-exclusive box set edition with Silent Hill 2, 3, and 4 in one box. You can get the individual games cheaper, of course – but the collection as a package is a true collector's item.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€350-650 (CIB)
An obscure Japanese game that somehow made it to Europe – in a print run you could count on two hands. Hardly anyone knows it, but that's exactly what makes it valuable.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€300-460 (CIB)
A strategy game about naval battles released in 2008 – at the end of the PS2's lifecycle when everyone was already playing PS3. Accordingly, very few copies were sold.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€150-250 (CIB)
The third entry in the Fatal Frame / Project Zero series – pure horror with a camera as your only weapon. The PAL version is significantly rarer than the Japanese or US versions.
Why so expensive?
Current Price: ~€150-300 (CIB)
Surprise: Even a mainstream title can be rare! The PAL "Complete Collection" with all GTA games in one box was produced in limited quantities only.
Why so expensive?
Not quite top 10, but still expensive and worth mentioning:
Prices fluctuate constantly. What costs €200 today could be worth €400 next year – or only €100. Use tools for tracking:
Absolutely. The PS2 has one of the deepest and most diverse game libraries of all time. And while some games are now true grails, there are thousands of great titles for under €10.
The trick is: Know what you have. And that's exactly what a digital collection helps with.
