Nothing commands an 80 $ value to be honest ,no nintendo games no sony games and no cod also. The increase is too steep that too within a generation. Kids now days prefer mobile games as it is ,traditional gaming on consoles and pc will reduce IMO considering even long time gamers like us are beginning to turn our backs on day 1 games and primarily dependent on free to play games.
All big games will be 70-80$. This is done to move people towards gamepass.
MS knows Majority people will play them via gamepass anyway. This price hike will move PC and xbox gamers both towards Gamepass completely for MS games and other 3rd party dayone gamepass games. Gamepass already saw 45% growth on PC since last year. PC and PS5 owner will play Doom on PC via gamepass over PS5 unless PC is very weak.
Ubisoft Pro also saw increase in subscribers for AC shadows.
Im just waiting on Sony to make games 80$. Mazaaz jab aayega
