Heading into the next-generation of game consoles, one of the big question marks is price – not just the prices of the consoles themselves, which Sony and Microsoft have both conveniently avoided talking about thus far, but also the prices of the games made for these machines. Several weeks ago, we got an indication that game prices might be on the rise in the next generation thanks to Take Two and NBA 2K21, which will be priced at $70 on both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. That, as pretty much every gamer is already aware, is $10 more than the $60 asking price of current-generation games. That $60 price point isn’t just a product of this generation either, as games have cost $60 for a long time now. In other words, it seemed inevitable that we’d see a price increase at some point in the near future.
