A new low for this game on PS4, I believe, even if it's only by a few pence.
While there were some early issues for some people, the game's now been well patched, including with PS4 Pro support, and makes a *very* worthy successor to the classic System Shock games - it's up there among the best games of the year so far IMO.
---------------- Blurb from the listing: ---------------- Prey is a first-person sci-fi action game from Arkane Studios, creators of the award-winning Dishonored series. In Prey, you are the first human enhanced with alien powers aboard the Talos I space station . Improvise and innovate as you fight your way through the alien infested station in your search for the truth. Prey is a bold new story set in a dangerous universe.
In Prey, you awaken aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032. You are the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever - but things have gone terribly wrong. The space station has been overrun by hostile aliens and you are now being hunted. As you dig into the dark secrets of Talos I and your own past, you must survive using the tools found on the station, your wits, weapons, and mind-bending abilities to defeat the Typhon alien threat. The fate of the Talos I and everyone aboard is in your hands.
Features: • Sci-Fi Thriller: Nothing is as it seems aboard Talos I. As Morgan Yu, set out to unravel the clues you've left behind for yourself, and discover the truth about your past. What role will you play in TranStar’s plans, and the mysterious threat ravaging the station? • Singular Setting: Orbiting the Moon, the Talos I space station symbolises the height of private space enterprise. Explore a lavish craft designed to reflect corporate luxury of the 1960s, and navigate interconnected, non-linear pathways built to hide countless secrets. • Unimaginable Threat: The shadowy extra-terrestrial presence infesting Talos I is a living ecology bent on annihilating its prey. It’s up to you, one of the last remaining survivors aboard the station, to end the deadly attack of these haunting predators. • Play Your Way: Gain alien abilities to develop a distinct combination of powers and upgrade your unique skills. Craft increasingly useful items with the blueprints, gadgets and tools on board the station to overcome dangerous obstacles in your way. Survive unprecedented threats with your wits and ability to improvise.

Drip, drip, drip - it keeps going down. I used to say "I'll buy when it goes below £20" but now I think I'll hold out for £15!

£15 is the new £20 for video games, especially when you have a huge backlog :wink:

It's about the standard at the moment, has been the same at Shopto for the past week with the Cosmonaut Shotgun DLC.
Cheers - I knew that it's £20-ish from a few places, but hadn't seen ShopTo's listing. Not yet posted here, I think?

Glad I rented this , wasn't a fan , terrible frame rate/input lag ruined it for me, wasn't impressed with the enemy design either , much prefer the original Prey IMO

Input lag and frame rate/pacing, to the extent that there were issues, have now been addressed in patches.

I read about that but sadly didn't get to experience it with the new patch and wasn't that impressed anyway, just didn't tick the right boxes for me

Game itself isn't that great anyway, outside of the technical issues

I beg to differ - it presents a superbly well-designed and well-realised world, very engrossing to explore and with interesting choices throughout (in my opinion, of course). Sure, immersive sims aren't for everyone, but many people find them to be among the most enjoyable game genres - and while it has its flaws, this is one of the best. Whether you look at critic or user reviews, you'll find it widely to be highly-regarded.
