The price of PlayStation games has always been around USD60 (about RM247). With the launch of a new generation of PS5 game consoles, a number of PS5 games exposed recently are above the standard, priced at USD70 (about RM289).
In this regard, SONY officially explained, “As the game play time is getting longer and the immersion is deeper and deeper, the manpower and time for game developers to make games are naturally increasing. Of course, they cost more blockbuster games. The pricing has also risen. In addition to balancing revenue, what is more important is that the development resources required by these ambitious games require a larger amount of capital injection. The extra $10 may seem small, but it is vital to the future of game developers. “
It is also worth mentioning that Sony announced that there will be more games priced at $70 in the future, but it will not make any changes now, nor will it touch all publishers.
