Why are some games more expensive than others?

Posted on August 22, 2020 at 2:04 pm

If you own an Xbox or PlayStation then you will know that the cost of the games can differ greatly. Some games that get released may only cost £20 or £30 where as others can cost upwards of £50-£60. This is a huge price difference and often it can be hard to see why one is so much more expensive than the other. Sometimes the price increase is justified by the game having some new feature that made it more costly to build but often it is simply because the sellers know that people will pay premium prices for a certain game. For example, the new Avengers game is due to be released on the 4th September this year. The price for the standard version is £50. This is a fair amount of money to pay for a game that you may even complete in a week. The creators know that because it is a Marvel game, it will be extremely popular so therefore they can ask a higher price. Marvel have released many games in the past which often sell for a high price.

IF you want to try and grab a deal it may be worth waiting a few weeks until some preowned ones become available.
