00:00Mina the Hollower is currently the highest rated game of 2026 on Metacritic, with a score
00:04of 92, beating out publishing Goliath's Xbox and its bots at Horizon 6, which has a measly
00:1091.
00:10One of Mina's biggest tools in its arsenal, alongside its stellar Souls-like and Castlevania-inspired
00:15gameplay is its $20 price tag.
00:17Following the recent example of genre cohorts Team Cherry and their pricing structure for
00:21last year's Hollow Knight Silksong, Yacht Club games director and co-owner Sean Velasco
00:25says he hoped making Mina $20 would boost its appeal like this.
00:28Everyone came in ready to say, I want the game to be $20, Velasco says, about the meeting
00:33where Yacht Club devs discussed pricing Mina, which they've been sweating over for six years.
00:38He continues, we don't want the price to be something that anyone is even going to question.
00:42The director adds, we don't want people to wait for a discount since we only get one chance
00:46at this, making a good impression and turning a profit.
00:49Thankfully, it looks like a good impression has indeed been made.
00:52Have you played Mina the Holloway yet, and did the pricing help you jump in?
