The debate over whether video games with the largest budgets should have higher price tags has been reignited by Matthew Bailey, the publishing director of Baldur’s Gate 3. He suggests that Grand Theft Auto 6 might have the necessary influence to legitimize a $100 price tag for premium video games.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The discussion around increasing video game prices is multifaceted. From a development perspective, the rising costs associated with creating high-quality, expansive games need to be balanced with fair pricing for consumers. If titles like GTA 6 manage to normalize a $100 price tag, it may lead to more sustainable revenue models for developers. However, the industry must ensure that this price hike results in proportional value and innovation in gameplay to justify the extra cost.
