Ubisoft sticks to what has now become the standard $ 60 price point for a new video game is important considering that the price point is now being applied to next generation titles. Previously, we reported on how the price of $ 70 for 2K NBA 2K21 for PS5 and other next-gen consoles it could be a sign of what’s to come. A difference of $ 10 may not seem like a lot of money, but this is very important when you remember that it is the difference between $ 60 and $ 70 for a video game. It will be worth monitoring if just to see if Ubisoft or 2K will yield at the prices set for their games as the titles spread and the receipts arrive. For now, players are waiting Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla You will probably breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of not having to pay an extra bet for your new game.
