Why isn’t Deadpool on PS Store?
On January 1, 2014, Activision’s license to create games with Marvel comics characters expired, resulting in Deadpool and numerous other Marvel Games titles published by Activision to be removed from online storefronts such as Steam and PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live. Activision lost the license, so they can’t sell it, among other licensed games they published, like Spider-Man and Transformers. Don’t expect them to renew the license anytime soon or ever tbh. They did relist it once, but that was due to the movie coming out, and it receiving a PS4 and Xbox One port.Activision lost the Marvel license SIX MONTHS after this game came out, which meant all unsold physical copies had to be recalled, which is why it’s so uncommon. They did get an extension a year or so later, but that was only for digital stores, the physical copies didn’t get a reprint.

Apparently they are in discussion to renew the license, so prices will plummet if that happens. It’s not available to buy digitally anymore, plus the game came out a decade ago, so supplies are limited.
