Paris Games Week: Rising video game prices: how to avoid them?

From November1 to 5, Paris Games Week, the world's largest trade show dedicated to video games, will be held. The show is making a comeback after two consecutive cancellations due to the pandemic and a reduced edition last year. The event returns with a new format for all video game fans: the ideal opportunity to discover and test all the latest releases.

As the video game industry reaches new heights of popularity, it is accompanied by a consequent increase due to the inflationary context. According to a report published last March, the video game market has been slowed by console shortages and 2022 inflation, resulting in a year-on-year decline of 1.6%. [1]

Subscription prices for video games are also affected by these increases. This is particularly true of the PlayStation Plus subscription, which has seen a €40 surcharge on two of its subscriptions. [2]. These increases pose a financial challenge for many passionate gamers seeking to enjoy video games to the full.

Faced with this reality, solutions exist to cut costs and reduce your budget. Such is the case with Spliiit, the platform that enables subscription costs to be shared between several users by offering the remaining places on their subscriptions to divide the monthly costs.

On the platform, you can share up to 7 different video game subscription services, from Nintendo Switch Online to Blacknut and Utomik.

" The rise in the price of subscriptions of all kinds is taking its toll on video game subscriptions too. Gamers have a variety of subscriptions, and the costs, plus the expense of consoles and accessories, are pushing up their budgets even further. With Spliiit, we enable our users to split the monthly costs of their subscriptions so they can continue to immerse themselves in their favorite worlds. For example, a subscription on Nintendo Switch costs €10.56/year at €0.88/month on Spliiit, compared with an initial price of €34.99/year live. As a result, we've seen a 50% increase in demand for shared video game subscriptions in 1 year. Proof of gamers' desire to save money! says Guillaume Lochard, co-founder of Spliiit.
