Microsoft has reversed its initial pricing strategy for The Outer Worlds 2, opting for the industry-standard $70 price tag instead of the previously announced $80. This decision applies to all full-price holiday releases from Xbox, including the Obsidian Entertainment RPG.
The reversal comes shortly after Microsoft initially indicated a price increase for some of its first-party titles, with the standard edition of The Outer Worlds 2 briefly listed at $79.99 following the Xbox Games Showcase in June. This move aligns the game with current market trends, providing a more competitive price point for consumers eager to explore the sequel to the popular sci-fi RPG. The $69.99 price ensures the game remains accessible and appealing to a wider audience, especially during the crucial holiday season.
