PS5 Games Will Cost Up to $70 moving forward, Internet reacts

3.9
PlayStation 5 games will cost up to $69.99 (about Rs. 5,200), Sony has revealed. Alongside pricing and launch date for the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition, Sony announced that its first-party launch titles will cost between $49.99 (about Rs. 3,700) and $69.99 (about Rs. 5,200), confirming the dreaded $10 increase that had been incessantly discussed ever since 2K revealed a price increase for NBA 2K21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. For Sony, the two launch games priced at $70 are Demon's Souls and Destruction All Stars.

It's unclear how exactly this will translate in India. PS4 and Xbox One games are priced at $59.99 in the US and Rs. 3,999 in India. But that conversion was set when the US dollar to Indian rupee equation was below 70:1. As of today, $60 is about Rs. 4,400. In some cases, Microsoft has charged more than Rs. 4,000 for digital Xbox One releases. If Sony were to take current conversions into account — as makes sense — we might see PS5 game prices cross the Rs. 5,000 barrier in India. It's impossible to say for now, as none of the first-party PS5 titles are up for sale as yet.

Of course, not every PlayStation 5 game will be $70. Spider-Man: Miles Morales comes in at $49.99, but it's worth noting that the standalone spin-off sequel to 2018's Spider-Man game is not a full-fledged title. It will be half as long as the original, Insomniac Games has itself confirmed. The only other PS5 first-party launch title lower than $70 is Sackboy: A Big Adventure at $60 (about Rs. 4,400).

Maze I'm not gonna lie, I'm surprised they've stayed at $60 for so long.


I'm not, they added DLC, Micro-transactions to games that cost $60 and now they want to do that and make it 70 it's nothing but creed the devs won't get a pay raise and will just be working unholy hours crunching away even more.


for real so many people are getting scummed outta this and there just gonna figure out how to make micro transactions even more creed. i will probably getting xbox because microsoft makes there stuff make sense with game pass.

Honestly, i don't think this will hurt ps4 that much. Most players only buy 1-2 games per year with all of the freemium games that come out (warzone/apex/MMO's etc) And if they have licence transferring like xbox does that'll take the load off of some players. I probably bought 3 games this year and he bought the other 4 and we've had tons of leftover cash because of it.

But game pass is a steal though i will admit. Especially love it when they have extra deals with ultimate (3 months free doordash/6 months spotify premium etc)
