Turnaround at Xbox. The next title The Outer Worlds 2 was to cost more for players … but ultimately no.
The change in console generation in 2020 was marked by an increase in game prices. Now in most publishers, a premium AAA game is billed 79.99 euros for the standard edition.
A price that some would like to go back again. Nintendo invoices for example the physical edition of Mario Kart World 89.99 euros on his official shop.
At Microsoft the situation is a little more complex. With all its acquisitions, the group now brings together several publishers, with different strategies.
