Microsoft is joining Sony and other leading game publishers in raising the prices of its major first-party game titles from $60 to $70. Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield will be among the first to get this increased price tag.
Microsoft said that this price change reflects the content, scale, and technical complexity of these titles. Microsoft also highlighted that these games will be available with Game Pass the same day they launch. So, people with Game Pass will not be affected by this price change.
As with all games developed by our teams at Xbox, they will also be available with Game Pass the same day they launch.
Finally, this price change will come into effect only in 2023. This holiday season, gamers will be able to enjoy the current price tags of Microsoft’s first party game titles.
