Xbox Lowers Prices for New Games in Europe - An Unexpected Move by Microsoft

15 Jun 09:36

Xbox has unexpectedly lowered prices for some of its new games in Europe. At a time when the industry is increasingly raising the cost of releases, Microsoft has offered a lower price for select projects.

In recent months, players have become accustomed to rising prices for consoles, subscriptions, and games, where €79.99 is increasingly becoming the standard in Europe.

As users noticed in European Xbox stores, some upcoming games from the company's internal studios now cost €69.99 instead of €79.99.

The list of such projects includes Gears of War: E-Day, Fable, and Forza Horizon 6. This is an important point, as these are key franchises for Xbox Game Studios. This is especially true for Gears of War: E-Day and Fable, which are expected to play a significant role in the future of the Xbox brand.

However, not all games have seen a price reduction. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is still listed in stores at €79.99, which may indicate a different pricing policy for individual projects.

Microsoft has not made any official statements about a change in its overall pricing strategy.
