Awesome to see, but what's with the pricing model? Seems like European players are going to have pay a lot more than those in the US and Japan.
On a side note, Nvidia leak continues to win!
"The euro worth less than the dollar?"
Looks at euro to dollar rate for the last twenty years
"Hmmm"
Brings up microscope
"Ahh, I see it now!"
Seriously, taxes or not Europe really gets the short end of the stick.
I am not saying I particularly agree, but that's the only explanation I can give. On average Europe is poorer than the US after all.
Yeah I mean it is the VAT thing combined with the semi universal disregard for the euro being worth more (even back when the difference was pretty huge). It differs a bit from company to company, but Sony screws over Europe quite consistenly.
This isn't a Sony only pricing. All game companies adjust their Euro prices like this. They seem to take whatever the US price is then just add 10 euros. Keep in mind VAT in various countries differ in the eurozone, France is 20%, Ireland is 23%, Germany is 19%, etc. They stick to a single euro price to make it easier.
US pricing is before sales tax but rarely above 10%. So on a $60 game, you are paying probably $60-$65. Currently the exchange rate puts €70 at $60.60 and this already inclused those 20% tax rates.
As per not only Sony, MS do it with their games (Starfield is $70, €80), Elden Ring (so Namco) is $60 in US, €70 in EU... and oddly £50 in the UK on Steam and PSN (and weirdly £5 more on Xbox, what's that about?).
MSRP for most games in Europe is about the same, sometimes lower than the US, when adjusted for VAT.
In this case here, if a game is priced at 70 euro, and it includes a 20% VAT, the actual retail price of that game is about 58 euro. Converting euro to dollar right now, puts that at $61. So, essentially the same price.
Wow dialing the price back a bit Sony ey!?
Oh cant wait. Guess i need to now get around to finishing the first one After i finish Starfield and BG3. Great news also that this release cycle is getting lower.
It will be the best looking pc game.
I don't see it dethroning Cyberpunk 2077, but I do agree that it should be one of the top best-looking PC games available. This initial announcement doesn't specify PC features, which makes sense as it doesn't release until 2024, so I'm curious to see what they do with it. RT perhaps? Hopefully full DLSS 3 support, along with FSR 3, on day 1?
