Daily Reaction: As Video Game Prices Increase to $70, Expect a Lot More Variable Pricing Strategies



Update: This article previously mixed up 2K and EA because I don?t play sports games at all and got the yearly basketball games mixed up, apparently. My apologies. All the rest of my points still stand, and I?ve corrected the couple of erroneous instances where I said EA instead of 2K.
Today we received the first whiff of a major new change coming to the video game industry with next-gen: a price jump to $70?or rather, $69.99?for new games. While it?s yet to be confirmed as a broad change, limited at this time to the next-gen version of NBA 2K21, the writing is basically on the wall at this point. Prices for video games are going up. $59.99 is about to be a ?discount? price for a game.
