Increase in PlayStation 5 Games

Hard times continue for PlayStation owners. A price update on PlayStation Store as of last night revealed that the increase in question was not just a rumor, but a bitter reality. Especially PlayStation 5 users have lost their hopes when faced with new prices.

Recent economic fluctuations and increases in exchange rates have also affected the gaming industry. Following two major price increases in January, game prices in the AAA category increased again by 34 to 40 percent, exceeding the 2,000 Turkish Lira threshold. However, with the latest increase, the prices of many AAA category games have increased to the range of 2,500 TL to 2,800 TL.

This increase was also reflected in popular games, especially those on pre-order. In addition to popular games such as Silent Hill 2 Remake and Astro Bot, anticipated big productions such as God of War: Ragnarök and Star Wars Outlaws are on sale with a price tag of 2,800 TL. This caused concern and disappointment among game lovers.

Price increases bring about the necessity of allocating a serious budget, especially for game enthusiasts. Game lovers will have to spend more money to play their favorite games. In addition, the pressure it creates on the industry may lead to the adoption of different strategies among game developers and publishers.

In this difficult period, game lovers need to adopt the best strategy: Prioritizing according to their needs, following discounts and campaigns, and perhaps most importantly, moving their gaming habits to a more economical point. These price changes in the gaming world will continue to find their place among the important factors that will shape the future of the industry.
