It’s a particularly opportune time to stock up on games, as Microsoft recently announced that first-party Xbox titles will receive price increases in 2023. $70 is slowly becoming the standard for big-budget console exclusives, and financially savvy gamers will want to make the most of these digital deals before they become a thing of the past. That’s not to say that every title is set to escalate in price in the near future, though it does suggest that, on the whole, the hobby will be a bit more expensive in the new year for Xbox gamers.
Currently available through Microsoft’s Xbox store page, some of the most notable discounts include both the standard and Ragnarok editions of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for $20 and $25 respectively, the new Need For Speed Unbound for just over $40, and the most current entry in the Call of Duty series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, for $60. FromSoftware fans can pick up the recent Game of the Year winner Elden Ring for around $40, while 2019’s Game of the Year, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, can be had for $30.
On the indie front, Indie Game of the Year nominee Cult of the Lamb is available for $20, Cuphead and its recent DLC can be bought for a little over $21, and the robust warfare sim Hell Let Loose is priced at $28. Of course, Xbox gamers who tend to favour indie titles should also consider subscribing to Xbox Game Pass, as smaller-scale games are routinely featured on the service.
All in all, over 800 games have been discounted, and no Xbox gamer should be left wanting this holiday season. It’ll be a bit before potential platform-sellers like Bethesda’s Starfield, Turn 10 Studios’ Forza Motorsport, and Arkane Studios’ Redfall hit the scene in 2023, so it’s the perfect time to load up on software to help bridge the gap to these forthcoming Xbox releases.
