Publisher Electronic Arts has raised the prices of their games in the online store Steam. According to the Steam Database platform, on average, their cost has increased by 2-3 times. Now the base price of most titles is 999 rubles.
Growth is not related to the Russian market. The cost of video game publishers has risen in all countries. The reason is still unknown, but it happened in anticipation of EA's return to Steam.
In October 2019, Electronic Arts and Valve about the agreement. According to its terms, all new EA games will be released simultaneously on Steam and Origin. The first project was Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In the future, Apex Legends, FIFA 20 and other games will appear on the platform.
In addition, in the spring of 2020, EA plans to launch its own subscription on Steam, according to which users will have access to the publisher's game library and the ability to play some titles before release.
