Bloodborne cost to play

Bloodborne is a single-player action role-playing game set in the city of Yharnam, developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was first released in 2015 on PlayStation 4 and is still a PS4-only game: there is no PC, Xbox or Nintendo version. It is sold at a one-off price on the PlayStation Store, and the base game is also listed as included with a PlayStation Plus Extra membership.

How it plays

Bloodborne is set in Yharnam, an ancient gothic city cursed with a strange illness that is spreading through its streets. You play a lone traveller searching for answers, exploring the city's darkest corners and fighting deranged mobs and nightmarish creatures to uncover its secrets.

The publisher calls the combat strategic action: you carry a set of weapons that includes guns and saw cleavers, and you need wits, strategy and reflexes to beat agile, intelligent enemies.

Beyond the city there are Chalice Dungeons. Holy chalices open a network of large underground ruins full of traps, beasts and rewards. These dungeons are procedurally generated, can be explored alone or with others, and can be shared with friends.

The PlayStation Store lists the game for one player offline and 2 to 5 players online, with online multiplayer needing a PlayStation Plus membership. It also supports Remote Play and DUALSHOCK 4 vibration.

What it costs

At standard price the base game costs £15.99 on the PlayStation Store UK. The Game of the Year Edition, which adds The Old Hunters expansion, costs £29.99. The Old Hunters can also be bought on its own as an add-on for £15.99, so buying the base game and add-on separately comes to £31.98, £1.99 more than the Game of the Year Edition.

Age rating

Bloodborne is rated PEGI 16 for violence. The PEGI listing notes frequent scenes of moderate violence, heavy blood effects and more detailed violence in cut scenes. The PlayStation Store also flags online interaction with other players.
