PS5 Players Concerned as Nintendo Switch 2 Hikes Game Prices to $80 - PlayStation LifeStyle

After prices for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2's Mario Kart World surfaced, PS5 players are concerned Sony will follow suit.

$80 dollars is ridiculous for a single game and it wasn't like 5 years ago, in which physical PS4 games dropped to $25 dollars in less than 2 years, which helped me to buy a lot of games from 2018-2020.

 

[Drizzle]

I can see most PS5 games sticking to the $70 price range but I can promise you that GTA 6 will be at least $80.

I would make an exception for GTA, only because there should have been more GTA games in the last ten years.

Mario though?

Switch 2 was revealed, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the exclusive chains, and have Sony release Ratchet and Clank, God of War and the Spider-Man games on Switch 2

Age of Empires II is releasing on the PS5 early next month. I had to pre-order, I loved this game growing up. This Definitive Edition has a ton of new material too. It's another Xbox Game Studios project dropping on the Playstation, no complaints from me.

PS5 Games Not Getting a Price Increase in Near Future, It Seems - PlayStation LifeStyle

It looks like Sony won't increase the price of first-party PS5 games in the near future, unlike Nintendo and Microsoft.

If there's a price increase for PS5 games, I hope its 5 dollars instead of ten.

New PlayStation Studio Announced, Fans Already Unimpressed - PlayStation LifeStyle

Sony Interactive Entertainment has unveiled a new PlayStation Studio, the announcement of which has left players scratching their heads.

LFG! Looking for group...

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Reads like AI-generated word salad.

Weird name aside, teamLFG claim that their first game is “a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games,” leading to a large number of comments on social media and gaming forums asking what “frog-type” is. Not a great start, eh?

But that’s not the only issue players have. The smorgasbord of genres thrown into the mix for teamLFG’s first game has left a lot of people unimpressed.

“Does that scream live service slop to anyone else?” a fan asked on Reddit. “That sounds like a wild combination to press into one game,” a ResetEra user wrote.

Sony considers PS5 price hikes to cover Trump’s tariffs

That US PS5 price increase may still be on the way.

www.theverge.com

Sony just announced its financial forecast for the next year, and it’s expecting to be impacted by tariffs to the tune of 100 billion yen (about $680 million). To compensate, the company says it’s considering options including moving manufacturing to the US and increasing prices for consumers.

Speaking to investors during the company’s earnings call, Sony CFO Lin Tao confirmed that the company is considering “passing on” the price of tariffs to consumers in order to mitigate the impact on its bottom line. Tao didn’t mention the PS5 by name though, and it’s possible that Sony could try to protect pricing on its console through increases elsewhere in its electronics business. Sony has already increased the price of the PS5 this year, but only in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The PS5 did get a call out from CEO Hiroki Totoki when discussing the possibility of moving manufacturing to the US to avoid the brunt of Donald Trump’s tariffs. He admitted that the console “can be produced locally,” and that it would be “an efficient strategy” that “has to be considered going forward.”

F**k these tariffs.

I feel like I'm in ancient times.

Jade Raymond, the founder and head of Sony Group Corp.’s game developer Haven Studios, has left the company.

PlayStation leadership didn’t give Haven staff a reason for her departure, but it came several weeks after an external test of Haven’s first game, the online shooter Fairgames, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Some developers at Haven were concerned about how the game was received and its progress, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly.

“Jade Raymond has been an incredible partner and visionary force in founding Haven Studios,” a PlayStation spokesperson said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful for her leadership and contributions, and we wish her all the best in her next chapter.”

The spokesperson added that the company is “committed to supporting Haven Studios and excited to continue the journey” with new co-studio heads Marie-Eve Danis and Pierre-François Sapinski.

Title changed from Fairgame$ to Fairgames.

Oh. That sounds bad.
