]]> Some players may be keen to collect physical versions of games and as the cost of publishing physical versions of games is getting higher and higher, publishers are more willing to save such costs and focus on Sell digital games online.

Mat Piscatela said that in the next two years, the “digital-only release” of 3A masterpieces will be common. He believes that by 2028, the vast majority of games on the Xbox and PlayStation platforms will only have digital versions.

And 3A masterpieces such as “Alan Wake 2” even announced that “the physical game version will be cut off”, which is embarrassing.

The content of Li Jian Zhi Ji as follows: “AAA games on the game console platform have been maintained at 59.99 US dollars for many years, but since last year there has been a price of 69.99 US dollars. We will review and evaluate the cost and value of the game, and pay close attention to the market situation at the same time.”

Major game publishers have raised the price of AAA games to $70 in recent years. This price increase was first initiated by Take-Two, followed by Sony and Microsoft. It seems that Sega is also considering raising the price to $70.
