Concern for the future of gaming prices is at an all-time high. While the biggest and most troubling increases have come to consoles, with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S each seeing prices soar $100 or more, and Valve releasing the highly-anticipated Steam Machine at $1,049, there's a growing fear about how companies value the actual discs, or, increasingly, the digital downloads that accompany the entertainment devices. It began with Nintendo releasing Mario Kart World for the Nintendo Switch 2 at $80, knowing the high demand for the franchise, but more recently, Rockstar has been the focus. After months of speculation that the company could ask as much as $100 for the base edition, they announced that Grand Theft Auto VI would be $79.99 on launch, but physical copies won't come with a disc, and there will be an ultimate edition, featuring in-game shops, missions, and cosmetics, clocking in at that $99.99 price point.
