In an interview with GamingBolt , analyst Michael Pachter explained his point of view regarding the price increase of next-gen games.

We debated this topic just today in our special, which clarifies whether it is just a wrong perception or substantial increases over the years on the cost of video games.

According to Pachter, «the price of $ 70» , equivalent to € 80 in Europe , «chosen by 2K will anger customers. And I understand that it will be worth it, I understand inflation and that game prices haven’t grown for years. But the fact is, if the platform holders don’t suggest a price tag of $ 70, then third-party publishers will look greedy for an extra $ 10. “

“I think what we will see is that publishers will try to figure out what they have to do about the price, and I guess Sony hasn’t helped anyone announced Miles Morales for $ 50 and Demon’s Souls for $ 70″ .

The analyst’s opinion is that «I don’t think everyone will ask for $ 70» , so much so that Microsoft, thanks to promise of free Smart Delivery, it won’t raise prices from the current generation’s $ 60.

Other publishers have opted for a wait-and-see stance, such as Capcom, who will wait to understand what will happen in the industry after the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X | S.

Ubisoft explained that the prices of its previously announced titles, such as Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla , will not change and that for any leavening it will be discussed again in 2021.
