Recent data reveals a striking trend in the gaming industry: while console game prices are on the rise, PC games, particularly those on Steam, are becoming more affordable. According to a detailed analysis by GameDiscoverCo, the median price for paid PC releases has dropped significantly, clustering around $10 to $20, in stark contrast to the typical $69.99 price tag of major console titles. This shift in pricing dynamics is largely influenced by the popularity of free-to-play games and the tendency of players to wait for sales rather than pay full price.
