According to the information disclosed by the Twitter user SynthPotato, PlayStation has updated the game prices in Turkey, and now the price of 3A masterpieces is as high as 85 US dollars. As shown in the figure below, the PS5 standard version of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is priced at 2799 Turkish lira in Turkey, which is equivalent to 84.8 US dollars.


According to data released by the media, the average monthly salary in Turkey ranges from 8,506 Turkish liras (452 ​​U.S. dollars) at the lowest to 357,705 Turkish liras (18,800 U.S. dollars) at the highest. More than one-third of people receive the minimum wage.

However, some netizens responded that this was not actually Sony's doing, but rather the import tax on top of the $70 base price of the new game. $1 is about 33 Turkish liras. Turkey imposes a standard 20% import tax on international goods entering Turkey.
