Physical games might be affected. Digital games currently are not. Regardless, some publishers are raising prices, and the rest will follow shortly.

If it does, it likely won't matter. Prices are already going up. Nintendont has gone bonkers and announced crazy price hikes on their products (80 dollars for re-releases look it up). Xbox is taking note and doing similar things. Boycott em

While tariffs might not apply directly to physical (or digital) games, the games are still made by people/companies that pay more in tariffs elsewhere (ie. computer parts) and will charge customers more.

of course!. donald just put a 100% tariff on movies. he hasn't yet to my knowledge, but certainly can, put a tariff on games. games aren't made in a vacuum - everything is affected.

Considering his age demographic, I wouldn't expect video games to a great concern to him. Movies and television, however, because that's what they grew up with and know.

If President Trump considers films made overseas to be "a National Security threat", then it makes sense to think the same for software made overseas. Oh well, Americans will just have to settle for 2 games instead of 30. 😭

@Punished_Pyle - Conservative christian groups trying to ban "immoral" video games is nothing new.

@Fruit Punch Samurai Quite true! But, seeing them as a threat to domestically-generated revenue? Not so much so. Every generation fails to understand the ones that come after.
