As video game pricing trends shift, major companies like Nintendo and Microsoft have announced $80 price tags for new titles, leading to speculation that upcoming blockbuster releases, such as Grand Theft Auto 6, will follow suit. Nintendo was the first to set this new standard with its Mario Kart World release, prompting negative reactions from consumers. Factors influencing these price increases include tariffs from the Trump administration, which have affected pricing strategies for various gaming consoles and titles in the U.S. market.
"The open-world sequel is set to launch later this year and is likely to cost at least $80, following Nintendo and Microsoft raising game prices to $80."
"Nintendo's announcement of an $80 price for Mario Kart World marked its first time exceeding the $70 threshold, prompting backlash from gamers."
