Persistent rumors that the 2013 Deadpool game cost Activision over $100 million to develop are being debunked by former Marvel manager Chris Baker, who claims the figure is wildly exaggerated. Despite the game's mediocre initial reception, its value has skyrocketed on resale platforms like eBay, driven by the success of the recent Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Some PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game are being listed for tens of thousands of pounds, although more typical prices range from £60 to £300. The game has become a collector's item largely due to its delisting and the inability to re-release it, given Activision no longer holds the Marvel license. The movie's box office success, earning over $444 million globally in its opening weekend, has renewed interest in related media, including the game.
