Competition.

If you buy a game for Playstation there is only 1 market. If you go find a physical disc somewhere on sale then you'll get it for that price... but on PC you've got a dozen popular marketplaces and ebay steam keys and humble bundle and Fanatic.

Usually you can get a new release for $40 or less within' a month or two of launch if you do you're diligent.

It is the price Sony decided on their PS5, nothing else. Sony takes just as much as Steam, as does Microsoft on Xbox. I believe Microsoft will be following Sony in the new pricing, which means we will probably see price increases on Steam.

You can see it on Horizon Forbidden West. The PS4 version was $10 cheaper than the PS5 version - 60 compared to 70.
