Some next-generation games, including NBA 2K21 and the Demon's Souls remake, carry a price tag of $10 USD above current-gen pricing. $70 USD could become the norm for next-gen, and now one of gaming's biggest publishers has weighed in on the possibility of higher prices.

EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said during an earnings call that it's premature to discuss price increases, but he noted that games are becoming richer experiences that cost more money to make.

"We've always said games are getting more expensive. The experience is getting deeper. The time that people are playing games is getting longer. One might argue that that might require a higher price point over time, but we'll address that as we get closer to more games coming into the next-gen console transition," Jorgensen said.
