Sony confirms $70 games coming soon

[LtGoose]

PS5 games from Sony will be priced up to $70/£70, Jim Ryan says

"Sony released the official PS5 launch game lineup after today's showcase, and many games on the list are $70/£70 rather than the traditional $60, confirming once again that some next-gen games will receive a mark-up.

Here's the full lineup from Sony Entertainment Worldwide Studios:

Demon’s Souls – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99/£69.99 (RRP)

Destruction All Stars – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99/£69.99 (RRP)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – US$49.99/¥5,900/€59.99/£51.99 (RRP)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Mile Morales Ultimate Edition – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99/£69.99 (RRP)

Sackboy: A Big Adventure – US$59.99/¥6,900/€69.99/£59.99 (RRP)

"These newly revealed titles, along with the games we’ve shown previously, represent the best lineup we’ve ever seen in PlayStation history," Sony president and CEO Jim Ryan said in a blog post. "Games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, and Demon’s Souls will launch alongside the console. Our own Worldwide Studios titles will be priced from US$49.99 to US$69.99 (RRP) on PS5."

Negs to any *******s dumb enough to think that the new price hike will trickle down to devs (srs). Higher price point just means bigger bonuses to executives.

Imagine paying $73 for a video game

[rectifryer]

Well that fookin seals the deal.

Reduce the value of THE ONE THING they have going for them, exclusives!

This is xbone level fuk up.

[Lord_Lemon]

Imagine paying $50 for PS4 dlc

[JPeeper]

Meanwhile Xbox exclusives are essentially free on gamepass (know you're chit and get 3 years of gamepass for $1). Inb4 people who have never ever played an Xbox say, "lol no exclusives". That's not the point, the point is your paying $70 for a game Microsoft is essentially giving away for free.

Sony coming out with a weaker console and charging the same price.

Sony doing everything they can to piss their fan base off. Hasn't seemed to work as everywhere I see Sonyboys are rationalizing all these moves. Sony dik must be good dik.

[JuicedMayhem]

I remember $80 sega genesis games in the early 90’s. Games have actually gotten cheaper over time.

[SipNPiz]

video games and ******* prices have been the same for decades, are you saying ******* prices are going up too?

People complaining about spending $70 a game...



Us Canadians who have been paying $80 a game forever...

I remember when they were 29.99, then 39.99, then 49.99, then 59.99.. So games go up 10 bucks with each generation. Yikes! Sorry, peasants.

The fuk you smoking. Games were $59.99 from the SNES until now.

[bongowongo]

60 dollars is the perfect price point .... Devs and especially the goddamn companies are making record sales and breaking all sorts of numbers + add in mtx/season passes/dlc chit .... I think they're probably making more money than ever. This is nothing more than a ploy just to get more money off your hands and they know that we'll eat it up because that's how gamers are.




As someone who had no issue buying games on release day at full price, multiple ones in any given month at that, this just means i'm going to be far more selective of what I buy from now and wait for discounts.

Spoiler!

unless it is a sony exclusive or cdpr heeehee .... i'll pepper my angus and let em go in dry because of their quality output

[Ravishing_Rick]

Nope

i guess ill stick to ps4 for another year

[wings_unhinged]

They're already priced at $70 and above. You pay $60 for 2/3 of a game and they give you the rest for an extra $30 or $40 depending on the publisher.

This. But then again I haven't bought a brand new game since the 360 era(MW2).

[rocketfish]

$70 for games with no micro transactions is perfectly fine with me


$35 or free (depending on how much micro transactions) for games with micro transactions

[Mang1er]

lol @ people crying about game prices. $70 for endless hours of entertainment? It's the best deal out there. Costs 70 bucks to go to the movies 1 night meanwhile you guys are spending hundreds of hours playing a game for only 70 bucks. How can anybody complain about this?

[JayJ350]

That's it guys, I'm out.

well im cheap I do AMC tuesdays for $5 dollar tickets. Use my stub premiere rewards and get free popcorn often. Sneak in drank.

[Hypernation]

A lot of the good N64 titles hit 70 bucks back in the day. **** pissed me off as a kid. Jacked up my bank account.

Lol what?



IMAX movies cost me about 15 dollars for a ticket. General prices for entertainment has gone down, netflix, spotify .... Even gamepass is 120 usd per year and you get a whole host of microsoft first party games + a few other games on day one. That's incredible value. Sony doing this is just greed and because they can.

I mean, who would pay for this?





They've sold close to 3 times as many PSs than XBoxes, 10 bucks/game won't mean anything.

[Stackerbruh]

Will be €80 here in the Netherlands. What the fook

[blissful88]

Perfect first reply




I've never paid retail for a game on PC, 24 hours after launch you can get it for $40 lmao

Most are $5-20

This, why anyone would subject themselves to these prices are insane. I've never bought a PC game at full price, heck not even a switch game and those games rarely lose their value. Sony knows how stupid thier fanbase is and are taking advantage. Can't blame them.

Imagine buying Cyberpunk for $70 dollars while I bought it for $40 on pc playing it on 4k/120fps resolution. Just lol.

[rootcon]

I miss the arcades. $5, 2-3hrs with a friend and as many different games as one can play. With hardware beyond what was possible at home.

But like everyone said, SNES, N64, Sega (esp Sega CD) had games that were in the $60-70+ range.

Not many remember the Neo Geo, but that system was something like $700 and game carts were $200-300. Now that's expensive.

[elterrible987]

Honestly I rarely buy games at launch or full price. If something big like GTA 6 comes out i might preorder it. I dont even have a preorder in for cyberpunk 2077, if its good enough then its one I will probably pay full price for instead of waiting.

[WoofieNugget]

Wait for three to six months and get it for 50% off crew. I haven't paid full price for a game in years.

[Kabamaro]

It doesn’t matter to me I’ll only buy hyped games at launch like GTA 6 and the rest will be used.

I’m all for it if it’s going to eliminate micro transactions and lootboxes

[phillipsanchez]

Good one bro.

[GainzMcgee]

theyve already been culling us with the higher version or gold edition or whatever by charging 20 or in some cases 40 more. I'm all for a higher gaming entry cost, keeps the riffraff out. You guys know what im talkin about.
