THE gaming industry has seen a number of changes lately that have raised prices across the board.<\/p>\n

It has had a huge impact on gamers, as people are now looking to deals and giveaways to pick up new games.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The most recent announcement is that PS Plus will be increasing the yearly prices of all its plans, severely raising the cost.<\/p>\n

Not only this, but the latest free games with PS Plus Essential this month are an incredibly poor showing.<\/p>\n

The three games include the new Saints Row which was a huge disappointment at launch, alongside Black Desert and Generation Zero which have both been critically panned.<\/p>\n

PlayStation announced the price for its upcoming new console, the PlayStation Portal, at Gamescom 2023.<\/p>\n

PlayStation 6 finally has a release date \u2013 and it\u2019s not what we’re expecting<\/h3>\n

While it was confirmed that the handheld would allow players to enjoy games in the same way they can with Remote Play, the price left something to be desired.<\/p>\n

Priced at \u00a3199 (\u00a3199), it\u2019s \u00a3100 more than other Remote Play devices like the Backbone One that are currently on the market.<\/p>\n

PlayStation isn\u2019t the only one raising prices. Xbox has employed similar tactics after the last few months.<\/p>\n

Not only has the price of Xbox Game Pass increased, but free Games with Gold have also been removed from the lowest tier.<\/p>\n

Adding to this is the rising trend of full price games offering \u2018early access\u2019 periods, where gamers have to pay more to gain access to big games with everyone else.<\/p>\n

A recent example is Starfield, where \u00a370 ($70) would give you access from September 6, but \u00a3100 ($100) let players access the game from September 1.<\/p>\n

Gaming was already an expensive hobby and recent trends have people more worried than ever before.<\/p>\n
