Sonyhas quietly raised the price of several of its biggest games onSteamin certain regions, and the new prices are nothing to scoff at.
Multiple top titles such asMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales,God of War, andReturnalhave been swept up in the price hike, with the new cost having different ranges in various countries. While there hasn’t been any official blog post concerning this news released by Sony, the new priceswere confirmed by PlayStation LifeStyle.
The older titles have had less of a price hike than some of the more recent ones. However, it’s still a blow to PC fans that games as old asGod of Waris more expensive five years after release.
Tough luck
Unfortunately, this is just the next mishap in a long line for PC players.The Last of Us Part 1finally became available on Steam, unfortunately leaving many users less than impressed.
Many users have been plagued with crashing games and excruciatingly long loading times for shaders, which take one to two hours every time you start the action-adventure zombie game.
I hadn’t playedThe Last of Ussince 2013, and since I no longer have aPS4, I thought looking at the Steam remake would be a great way to refamiliarize myself with the excellent story. Sadly, I didn’t have as much fun this time around. Stuck with ridiculous wait times, I was discouraged almost immediately. I also found that not even my RTX 3070 helped matters, as I was stuck on 30fps for most of the time and plagued with constant crashing.
It’s upsetting to see such a brilliant game have such an awful port to PC, but when you look at this mishap and the price hikes, it seems like Sony doesn’t care too much about players who don’t have aPS5.
