PlayStation Announces Game Price Hike In Brazil For October

Expert Verified By

PlayStation Finally Follows The Trend!

Story Highlight
  • Following Nintendo and Xbox, PlayStation has announced a price hike.
  • The gaming giant has announced that prices of its first-party games will increase in Brazil starting in October. 
  • Ghost of Yotei will release on October 2, 2025, so its pre-order will now cost more

Recently, Nintendo announced that the games for Switch 2 will cost $80. This caused a commotion among the fandom, which, of course, caused frustration and anger. However, following that, Xbox dropped a bomb by increasing the prices of its consoles, controllers, and games worldwide

Shortly after that, fans anticipated that the next to follow this trend is going to be PlayStation, and it has finally happened. PlayStation has announced a game price hike in Brazil from October. 

Why it matters: The economy is worsening worldwide, but that doesn’t mean only the businesses are being affected. These multi-billion-dollar corporations fail to realize that consumers are the ones who are being affected the most, and yet we are witnessing back-to-back price hikes. 

Xbox Games Lineup 2025
Xbox recently increased the prices of its consoles and games worldwide.

PlayStation Brazil recently sent a statement to Level Up revealing that there will be price adjustments to the prices of first-party games starting in October due to adverse currency conditions in Brazil. 

Due to adverse currency conditions in Brazil, the recommended retail price for Sony Interactive Entertainment first-party games (disc and digital) will increase to R$399.90 starting with the launch of Ghost of Yotei on October 2, 2025.

The prices of the games will be increased in Brazil with the launch of Ghost of Yotie, which is targeting a release date of October 2, 2025. Many fans raised their voices when the game’s pre-order was costing R$ 399.90 on the Brazilian PlayStation store. 

PS5 Pro Featured
PS5 Pro criticism just died down, but Sony is yet again under fire.

So, the gaming giant has finally given an official statement to tone down the buzz. Many fans are pinning the blame entirely on Xbox and Nintendo, which makes total sense given these two were the first ones to increase the prices. 

This seems only a beginning as analysts have predicted more price hikes in the future, which may take a major toll on the gaming industry.
