Many of us are living through an inflationary crisis that we haven’t seen in decades.. Video games are no exception.
We have already seen Unprecedented moves like the PlayStation 5 saw a price hike two years after its releaseMicrosoft is now warning customers to expect similar hikes through their websites and services. We still don’t know which one.
reported by It’s the edge Tom WarrenQPeak at the Wall Street Journal earlier this week Spencer saidI think sometimes we have to raise the price of some items, but we thought it was important to keep the price up this holiday.
“We keep the price on our console, we keep the price of the games… and we keep our subscription,” he added. “I don’t think we can do that forever. I think sometimes we have to raise the price of some items…”
What a horrible thing to say! It could mean the same thing One or two of these things will see a price hike, leaving us to guess which ones. A price increase for Microsoft’s own games seems inevitable, with many competing publishers already implementing such increases, forcing them to raise the price of Game Pass subscriptions. Definitely in the cards.

However, the Xbox is another story. The rise of the PS5 is as big a story as the consoles The price has not gone up after the release before; They get cheaper over time, not more expensive. However, we do not live in normal times. There are underlying causes of the inflationary crisis, and they range from employment to everythingUnprecedented (in modern times) lack of components corporate profitsWe didn’t factor in (or at least did that much) when looking at console prices before.
So who knows, he means everything Next year the price will be higher. Good!
