Square Enix might be ushering a new era within PC Gaming and its prices with their new hike in pricing. The gaming industry has become an incredibly lucrative one. This, of course, calls for addressing the rising demand within the industry.

In order to adhere to this demand, Square Enix has raised the prices for two of its games which were visible in the Epic Games Store and Steam.

Square Enix raises the price for Final Fantasy and Forespoken

DSO Gaming has spotted that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Forespoken are now available at a price of 79.99 euros. Besides this, the Deluxe edition of Forespoken was hiked up to 105 Euros. This might definitely hurt the pockets of several gamers out there!

Previously, Square Enix games were available at a much cheaper price of around 50 Pounds. The gaming community is divided regarding this imminent price hike. Most gamers definitely do not agree with it, hence this act being quite controversial.

So far, PC Games have escaped the phenomenon of price hikes and the next-gen console games were the first ones to bear a hefty price tag. This was widely resented in the community and remains a controversial affair to date.

Square Enix had announced the release of two games in this year’s Game Awards. Forespoken is coming next year in May while Final Fantasy 7 and Integrade will be hitting Epic Games Store from next week.

The PC Gaming community is furious with this decision and multiple posts sprang up on Reddit and other social media sites resenting this. This business decision sounds quite absurd on part of Square Enix given they are already financially quite sound.

When NBA 2k21 was announced, the game cost $70 for next-gen consoles. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick affirmed on this by saying, “We think with the value we offer consumers…and the kind of experience you can really only have on these next-generation consoles, that the price is justified.”

While the CEOs are defending this new position from a financial perspective, it will now be interesting to note how the PC gaming community accepts this new change.
