EA Bucks Industry Trend And Says It Has No Plans to Increase Video Game Prices

  • Electronic Arts announced on May 6, 2025, that it currently has no plans to raise the prices of its video games, differing from competitors like Microsoft and Nintendo.
  • This decision follows recent price hikes by Microsoft on consoles, accessories, and some games to $80, and Nintendo setting $80 prices for new Switch 2 titles, amid increasing AAA game prices over the past five years.
  • EA CFO Stuart Canfield confirmed that the company has not altered its current pricing strategy, while CEO Andrew Wilson highlighted their commitment to providing exceptional quality and value to players.
  • EA continues to launch successful games like Split Fiction, which has achieved sales of four million units, and plans to keep the standard price for major releases such as Madden and Battlefield at $70, while deluxe editions may reach up to $100.
  • While EA leaves room for future price changes, its current stance suggests it aims to avoid broad price increases and maintain player value despite industry trends toward higher costs.
