Microsoft Confirms No $80 Xbox Games After All
Briefly

The Outer Worlds 2 will be priced at $70 for the standard edition instead of the initially announced $80. Microsoft's spokesperson confirmed that no games from the company will retail for $80 during this holiday season. Although The Outer Worlds 2's page still shows an $80 price for the standard edition and $100 for the premium edition, the company has reassured customers that preorders for $80 are eligible for refunds. Nintendo's Mario Kart World remains the only major new release priced at $80 this year.
Microsoft will not charge $80 for any of its games this holiday and The Outer Worlds 2 will retail for $70 for the standard edition.
The Xbox.com page for The Outer Worlds 2 still lists the standard edition at $80 and the premium edition at $100, despite the announced pricing change.
Anyone who preordered The Outer Worlds 2 for $80 is eligible for a refund or reimbursement from their retailer.
Microsoft's initial decision to increase game prices to $80 was based on careful consideration of market conditions and rising development costs.
