More PlayStation 5 information reveals $69.99 price point for games, launch lineup, and PS4 versions

cJDNLjo.png

More post-event news is cropping up, after the debut of today's PlayStation Showcase. Not only did we learn that the console will be launching this November, we also got to see the price: $399.99. Sony also revealed that certain PlayStation 5 games will retail for $69.99, while some games thought to be PS5 exclusives will also release on the PS4. These games include Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West. Both the digital and physical versions of these games will offer free upgrades to the PlayStation 5 versions, should you choose to eventually play on the next-gen console.

Additionally, we know that the PS4 community will transition to PS5 at different times, and we’re happy to announce PS4 versions of some of our exclusives. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West will also launch on PS4. While these three games were designed to take advantage of PS5 and its unique next-gen features like the ultra-high-speed SSD and DualSense controller, PS4 owners will also be able to enjoy these experiences when they launch. The PS4 digital versions of launch games include a free upgrade on both PS5 consoles, while the PS4 disc versions of these games include a free upgrade on the PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray disc drive.

The current launch lineup for the PlayStation 5 will focus on 5 titles from first party studious: Astro's Playroom, which comes pre-installed with the console, Demon's Souls which retails for $69.99 in North America, Destruction All Stars, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

ugh, so now Sony is dabbling into the $70 goddamn normal price.

*stops bitching about consoles and figures out how to afford RTX 3070*....

Demon Sould Remake was the only game that was tempting me ..but thats coming to PC now

Don't mean to burst your bubble but Sony commented on that and said it was "hUmAn ErRoR" and made that trailer private.

Whether it was an actual mistake, or ploy to get people to buy the game twice after release, remains to be seen.

They really think that people will pay 70€ for a Sackboy game at launch? Or maybe I’ll just wait 5 months until it costs 30€ or just a year and it will be on sale for 5€ In PS Store or just a PS Plus Game as always

For everyone wondering why euro is more expensive it’s because in US you have to pay the taxes extra and in EU the prices already include all taxes

ouch, 70usd a game?
It means it will cost more than 100CAD here with taxes
We pays 80CAD right now and with taxes it brings it over 90$ :(
yeah here in australia, ps5 games so far are ranging between $80 AUD ($58 USD) for things like Just Dance, and $125 AUD ($91 USD) for things like Demon Souls and Call of Duty Cold War

They are about the same, Euro has a little more value than USD.
The only thing that happened is assholery from the gaming industry.
what assholery?
Are they seeking for revenge about something that happened in Europe?

How are American dollars and Euros equal? Wouldn't one be worth less, compared to the other?
At least with Pounds, they lowered the price by 40.

Assholery as in "We can do it so we do it, profit, profit, and let's give the practiced discourse of costs are high and devs are underpaid, even though we know not one dime of this increase will go to devs, but the people fall for that speech all the time; people will still buy it anyway, lol".

1 euro = 1.18 usd,
euro > usd, but just about the same, negligible.

Deal with it, that's life.
It's not as if it were the first time Europe was screwed regarding release dates, lol!
