[Official] Sony confirms $69.99/€79.99/£69.99 price for first-party PS5 games

[CrazyHal]

This mean that next gen games will cost 100$ with taxes in Canada.

Fuck me

 

[Fergie]

Europe getting flogged. 🥴

 

[Stinkinmushroom]

80€? Damn

 

[ps3ud0]

For me as I might go all digital whenever I get a PS5, I'll just wait for the first decent sale. PS4 made me realise there's no need to rush for launch and I've got too many games already...

Not interested in the mental game pricing - I'm sure that will fix itself in the market anyway.

ps3ud0 8)

 

[CloudWolf]

€80

Who in their right mind would pay that for a video game?

 

[The Real Paddington]

I'm Canadian and shattered right now.

 

[strife85]

so..

$70 first party games
all FP games are cross-gen
$70 controllers
etc

Way to kill your hype sony.

 

[Fdkn]

Where the increase will be the most felt is digitally. Most games are 59.99€ now digitally, a 33% increase is a lot and raises question about whether the DE is a good deal.

they aren't.

The msrp for most games in europe is 69.95

 

[Agram]

80 euros is absolutely disgusting.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Hold up. Euro games were 1:1 with the USD price before, right? So why is the jump for Euro 60 -> 80 but it's $60 -> $70 in the US? Damn.

 

[Vector]

Why the fuck do Europeans have to pay more than Americans for the same games???

Direct conversion to EUR was bad enough, but 10 euros more now??

This is a great way to advertise Game Pass, Sony.

 

[Kaiken]

This is what you get for your $399 digital console

Click to shrink...

Lol.

 

[Izunavis]

Imagine the scenes when the first micro-transactions drop.

 

[Xando]

This console went from day one to later real quick

 

[Deleted member 25042]

How can they even justify the $70/80€ difference??
That makes no sense to me

 

[Altered]

I'm good

 

[SoulsHunt]

Logic.

 

[LightKiosk]

So this is why the digital edition is $100 cheaper. Gotta make the money up elsewhere.

 

[LAM09]

Reason I'll be sticking with physical. Prices will drop much faster and I have the option to rent as well.

 

[MeltedDreams]

80 fucking euros lmao. Deep sale or second hand it is.

 

[Kayotix]

will be waiting a few month for price drops. No way in hell im paying $70 for a new game

 

[Temperance]

These will be $60 within a month...physical of course.

Click to shrink...

Real MVP move right there.

 

[InfiniDragon]

Game pass + 599 cad series x. Still the deal to beat

Click to shrink...

Yep, with this knowledge GamePass value gets even better than it already was. MS was really smart in pushing it.

 

[Adrifi]

80 euros? What the fuck?

 

[Flevance]

Great, less games to buy on launch from now on then. Oh and sounds like Astro Bot is just a demo :\

 

[Zuko]

Just wait until they increase the price on that to.

Click to shrink...

They already announced pricing for next gen with All Access. They aren't changing that anytime soon.

 

[Wreckord Collection]

It was bound to happen, to be honest. Games have been $60 for, what, 15 years now?

Click to shrink...

Meanwhile, development costs have skyrocketed. This was going to be a not fun bandaid to rip off no matter who did it first or when, but this is very necessary.

 

[OdjnRyu]

Suddenly I'm not feeling so bad for missing out on Demon's Souls at launch.

 

[Keikaku]

That's why the DE is $399, they'll make the loss back with one game.

Never gonna pay €80 for a game that's for sure.

 

[Ænima]

80€ has to be a typo, what the fuck (unless the digital versions are 60-70 or something like that)

Click to shrink...

Is not a typo, PS4 games in europe already cost 70€, its a 10€ increase for next gen games. Not all games will be that price though. Spider-Man MM costs 60€, Sackboy Adventures costs 70€, Demon's Souls costs 80€.

 

[metalslimer]

Physical it is

 

[Nolbertos]

Fuck that from Sony. Gonna wait now even longer for physical game prices to go down

 

[Askherserenity]

Oh fuck

 

[headspawn]

Are the PS4 versions $70? Are crossgen upgrades free?

Wtf is this shit.

 

[Deleted member 10747]

Lol Fuck off with the 80euros.. No wonder they are discounting the DE version. Lots of people who don't care to pay premium prices to go digital lol.

 

[Slaythe]

ok they can go fuck themselves

80 euros ??

 

[carlosrso]

Ok, hard pass on this one, lets wait for their greatest hits editions

 

[eko]

I'm out.

 

[Maxim726x]

Eh this sucks but with how quickly new releases are half price (typically within 3 months) not the end of the world.

These shits are expensive, as it turns out. Who knew.

 

[SJRB]

Your games aren't THAT good, holy shit. Fuck off man.

80 euros is just insane. Just straight up insane.

 

[Alvis]

LMFAO

I'm never paying 80€ for a videogame. Good luck with that. I'm never paying 70, either.

 

[LAA]

80 euros?!
How did they work that conversion?
$69.99 =/= €79.99
Unless its without tax in US and it's even more.
£70 UK prices then?

 

[SharpX68K]

People complaining probably didn't experience the 16-bit era with SNES cartridge prices and Sega's big RPGs for Genesis / Mega Drive.

 

[Timlot]

Yeah that day and date Gamepass basic cable is looking real good.

 

[Prine]

80 EUR???!? HOLY SHIT!

Dreading to think what UK prices will be.

 

[Sanka]

Lmao €80?! Goddamn.

 

[krae_man]

I wonder what the DE edition sales are going to be in Europe. Physical games regularly sell for under MSRP over there and instead of correcting that and lowering MSRP over there for parody pricing on digital and retail, they have stuck with unnecessary gap.

 

[MrFox]

I thought this was already confirmed industry-wide.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Gotta recoup those losses on the PS5 MSRP somewhere

 

[Kyrona]

It was bound to happen, to be honest. Games have been $60 for, what, 15 years now?

I remember $50 games. Don't make me feel old >:V
