Moreover, PS5’s DualSense controller will enable the players to feel the impact of passes, catches, tackles, and so on. This, however, has prompted EA to hike the price of the title.

EA has joined a list of studios that have increased the prices of their titles by $10 for next-gen games. It has announced a”NXT LVL” edition of the title for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, which will set users back by $70.

EA had announced earlier this month that users need to get used to the new pricing structure. This is because the hardware of the new-gen consoles has increased development costs, which will increase the cost of these titles. Moreover, the hike in prices comes after quite a long period of time.

The games are getting more expensive because the experience is also getting deeper. The trailer of the game adds more strength to this theory. While we don’t know whether the price of these titles will increase in the future, the gaming experience for sure will reach a level never witnessed before.
