Description:
Sony has increased game prices on Steam for certain regions for many of its best-selling games.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sony has quietly raised the price of several of its biggest games on Steam in certain regions, and the new prices are nothing to scoff at.

Multiple top titles such as Marvels Spider-Man: Miles Morales , God of War , and Returnal have been swept up in the price hike, with the new cost having different ranges in various countries. While there hasnt been any official blog post concerning this news released by Sony, the new prices were
confirmed by PlayStation LifeStyle . Argentina: 4199-5999 Pesos to 8499-9999 Pesos Canada: $59.99-69.99 CAD to $64.99-79.99 CAD Chile: 32000-39500 CLP to 35000-42000 CLP China: 279-379 RMB to 345-414 RMB Colombia: 159000-194000 Pesos to 184000-219000 Pesos Japan: 4900-6490 Yen to 6490-7590 Yen South Korea: 45880-58800 Won to 52800-62800 Won

The older titles have had less of a price hike than some of the more recent ones. However, its still a blow to PC fans that games as old as God of War is more expensive five years after release. Tough luck (Image credit: Sony)

Unfortunately, this is just the next mishap in a long line for PC players.
The Last of Us Part 1 finally 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 hadnt played The Last of Us since 2013, and since I no longer have a PS4 ,
I thought looking at the Steam remake would be a great way to refamiliarize myself with the excellent story. Sadly, I didnt 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.

Its 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 doesnt care too much about players who dont have a PS5 . God of War Ragnarok doesn't shy away from ugly family truths
