Having arrived on the Australian Steam storefront at $39.95, the PC port of From Software’s brutal RPG Dark Souls had leapt to $69.95. It’s not clear whether the original listing was in error, as our international staff report the $69.95 price tage is visible on the US side as well – although international price comparison scripts disagree.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition launches on August 24.
