Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft officially confirms $60 price point for Xbox One games

Gaming everything

All of Microsoft’s Xbox One games will cost $60, the company has confirmed. Sony previously announced the same price point for its own PlayStation 4 titles.

Third-parties aren’t being so open. Activision, EA, and Ubisoft have declined to comment on game prices for now.

And the advantages just keep piling up!



But i thought xbox one games were suppossed to get cheaper with the infinite power of the cloud....



Like KylieDog is sort of saying.  Steam DRM without Steam prices.

Steam sells games for full price during launch (and popular games might stay like that for a while)

to be fair, prices on Steam aren't cheap across the board, their special offers are pretty epic though

Tomb Raider is more on Steam than it is on current consoles, but shortly after it was released you could get it for less than $20.  It's not going to happen on the Xbox One.  Another thing is that some PC games launch at $49.99, $10 less than the same game on consoles.  So that "full priced Steam game" isn't the same as a "full priced console game."  Not always.  Not the majority of the time.

People thinking the Xbox One DRM is going to let them get games cheaper like Steam are going to be disappointed. 

This really doesn't matter to me as I don't purchase digital games unless they're dirt cheap so I wait a long time before I get anything on PC.  However, my statement is going to be fact, just wait and see.



good to know that neither side is raising prices this gen. $60 is too much anyways but $70 would have just be ridiculous.



This is a good thing.

Now, what we need next generation is digital prices to be worth it for the consumer. Do we have news on that yet?



                            

I love how people think the PC market was just a night and day switch. PC gamers went to bed one night bummed about full price brand new titles and then woke up the next morning with $1 day one AAA releases. Xbone hate is hilarious on this site.
