Although some big companies are clamoring to plan to raise prices to $80, as the world is tightening its belt, the last thing gamers want to see is that consoles and games also increase prices.Interestingly, the push owner @Okami13_ discovered a quite interesting phenomenon.
None of the high-scoring games launched this past year have been priced over $50:
Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33: $50
"Double Shadows": $50
The Pigeon Puzzle Game "Blue Path": $30
"Jedi 2": $40
"The Joker": $15
At the same time, the top three above are the highest-rated games since 2025, and "Joker" has also won multiple game awards of the year in 2024.
Netizen Pyo deeply agrees: the current model is that the cost of living today is too high, and many people can't even afford to eat, so the price of the game is $50 instead of $80 will be a very good choice.
Netizens added: Actually, these games are also best-selling games. I think if they are all above $70, some of them will not be so sales.
Netizen: These games are all low-cost, and more importantly, highly focused.They won't force into 5 different mini-games and ideas to attract a wide audience.
