Gamers worried about a next-gen game price hike can relax, at least for now, as SCEA boss Jack Tretton has announced that PlayStation 4 games would range in price from 99 cents to $60, the current max price of current gen games on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Tretton promised:
“I think people are willing to pay if they see value there and I think there’s more choice than ever before for consumers. We’re going to welcome free-to-play models; games from 99 cents up to those $60 games.
“But if you really see where the heat is for the true gamer on the console it’s still that big-form experience that typically runs upwards of $50 million to develop and will justify that $60 price point and will give people hours and hours of gameplay on a daily basis for months and years to come.”
During the last generation turnover, games went from $50 to $60.
