It’s looking like gamers are in for another price increase for video games with the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
For the most part, video games for game consoles have cost $59.99 for as long as most gamers can remember. The last time there was a significant increase in the price of video games was when the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 launched back in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The launch of those consoles pushed video game prices up by about $10 from $49.99 to $59.99. Now it’s looking like gamers are in for another price increase for video games with the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Game publishers are reportedly considering raising pricing across the board for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games according to research firm IDG Consulting.
