Your Gaming Sub Is About to Cost More as 'Wolverine Game' Sparks New Price Hikes for Digital Copies
Gamers, prepare for a hit to your wallet: the upcoming "Wolverine Game" is driving a new wave of price increases for digital downloads, with major publishers following suit. Starting next month, standard digital editions for triple-A titles like this could jump from $70 to $79.99, as studios pass rising development costs straight to you. For consumers, that means every new game in the Wolverine series—and likely others—will eat deeper into monthly entertainment budgets. With no physical disc to resell or trade, your only option is pay up or wait for discounts that might not come for a year. Act fast: pre-order at current prices if you can, because the era of the $60 game is officially dead, and your wallet is the next boss to defeat.
