Will 75 be the new normal for video games after Switch 2's Mario Kart?

Experts don't think Mario Kart World will be a one off. Christopher Dring, editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Game Business, said he expected to see price rises elsewhere too - particularly for the most anticipated titles, such as the latest edition of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. "I think if you're going see a game that's going to be able to charge more, look out for when GTA 6 gets a release date later in the year," he said. He says there are lots of reasons prices might go up, part of which is that modern games are a lot of work. "These games are taking longer to make, they require more people to make them," he said. But there's also the fact, he says, that video game prices have not kept up with inflation.
