AAA games increased pretty much across the board to 70€£$ last year (adopted by most publishers, you can Google it since there's a lot of different articles for each publisher). But the reality is that they've been increasing in price for two decades now. People like to forget all the special editions that include all the removed content from the base game (some are so bad, you need a spreadsheet to know what is in what version of the game), all the DLC, microtransactions, expansion packs, season pass, lootbox, pre-order bonuses, subscriptions... (the list of monetization goes on). The reality is that games stopped being 60 a long time ago, the 60$€£ is what you pay for the base game. And lets not even get into the fact that we're glorified beta tester these days, and require an online connection to get the constant patches to make games playable.
