Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 is now available, and one of the first questions players are asking is how much it costs. Mob Entertainment has priced this latest installment at $19.99 (£16.75), which is the same price as Chapter 4. That is a welcome surprise for fans who expected another price hike.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Price
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 costs $19.99 in the US and £16.75 in the UK. The game is sold as DLC on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players need to download the base game first, which is still completely free, before purchasing Chapter 5.
This is notable because the franchise had been increasing its price by roughly $5 with each new chapter since Chapter 2. Chapter 5 breaks that trend by matching Chapter 4’s price instead of going higher.
Price History of Every Poppy Playtime Chapter
Poppy Playtime started as a free-to-play game back in 2021. Since then, each new chapter came with a higher price tag, until Chapter 5 kept things steady. Here is the full pricing breakdown for every chapter in the series:
| Chapter | Price (USD) |
|---|---|
| Chapter 1 (Base Game) | Free |
| Chapter 2 | $9.99 |
| Chapter 3 | $14.99 |
| Chapter 4 | $19.99 |
| Chapter 5 | $19.99 |
Chapters 2 through 4 each saw a $5 increase over the previous installment. Chapter 5 is the first entry in the franchise to hold at the same price as the chapter before it.
Why Did the Price Stay the Same?
Historically, each Poppy Playtime chapter raised its price by $5 to $10 compared to the one before it. Many fans expected Chapter 5 to cost somewhere between $25 and $30. However, Mob Entertainment chose to keep the price at $19.99 this time around.
The gameplay trailer for Chapter 5 suggests it is the most complete entry in the franchise so far. Despite that, the developer did not raise the price, which is good news for players on a budget.
What Platforms Is Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Available On?
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 launched on PC only, available through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game is not available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch 2 at launch.
Console ports for earlier chapters did arrive eventually, typically a few months after the initial PC release. Mob Entertainment is expected to follow the same pattern for Chapter 5, though no official dates for console versions have been confirmed.
Is Chapter 5 the Last Poppy Playtime Game?
No. Based on the ending of Chapter 5, a sixth chapter appears to be all but confirmed. Mob Entertainment has not officially announced Chapter 6, but the story clearly sets up a continuation. Since the franchise debuted in 2021, new chapters have released roughly once a year.
Is Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Worth the Price?
At $19.99, Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 sits at the same price point as Chapter 4. The game has received a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam with 79% of user reviews being positive. For fans of the franchise who have been following the story since Chapter 1, this installment continues the saga at a price that has not increased from the previous entry.
Players who want to try the franchise for the first time can still download Chapter 1 for free on Steam before deciding whether to invest in the later chapters.
