Microsoft announced earlier this year that it would begin charging $80 for some of its new games, including The Outer Worlds 2. However, that’s no longer the case.
Obsidian has announced that The Outer Worlds 2 will launch at $70 for the standard edition. A spokesperson for Microsoft told IGN that none of its games will be $80 this holiday. To be sure, no game from Microsoft beyond The Outer Worlds 2 was announced with an $80 price point (though some theorized Black Ops 7 would be $80), but in any event, Microsoft won’t charge that much for any title this year.
“We’re focused on bringing players incredible worlds to explore, and will keep our full priced holiday releases, including The Outer Worlds 2, at $69.99–in line with current market conditions,” the spokesperson said.
