PS5 and Xbox Series X games apparently cost $70 each

• NBA 2K21 will cost $59.99 on PS4 and Xbox One, but $69.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
• This is one of the first upcoming games we've seen that won't offer a free upgrade to the next-generation version, perhaps hinting at a new standard price for PS5 and Xbox Series X games.
• If you want to play across generations, the NBA 2K21 Mamba Forever Edition will include both versions of the game with the same console family for $99.99.

We still don't know how much Sony and Microsoft are going to charge for their next-generation consoles (although we are preparing for the worst), but we might know how much the games are going to cost. 2K opened preorders for NBA 2K21 on Thursday, and the next-gen physical and digital editions of the game are priced at $69.99. We've seen a few listings for PS5 and Xbox Series X games pop up on Amazon, but this is the first time a publisher has confirmed the price of a next-gen title, and if 2K is pricing its games at $70, other studios are surely following suit.

In a press release, 2K announced that NBA 2K21 will be available for PS4 and Xbox One on September 4th, 2020, and the standard editions of the game will cost $59.99. The game will also be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X at launch this holiday season, and 2K says it is "building the game from the ground up to take full advantage of next-gen power and technology." This may very well be a sign of things to come as more prices are revealed.
