Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 was recently showcased, revealing exciting updates and a price tag of $80, marking it as the first Xbox title to reflect Microsoft's new pricing strategy. Pre-orders are available across various platforms including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. While the sequel appears more ambitious, opinions vary on whether it can sustain this price, given its predecessor's smaller stature. The release on Xbox Game Pass offers a more economical option for players, highlighting a need for diverse pricing in gaming, beyond just indie and high-budget AAA titles.
In a shift for Xbox Game pricing, Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 will be the first game to reflect the new $80 retail price, raising questions about its value as a sequel.
Although The Outer Worlds 2 appears to be a larger title, there's a debate whether it can justify the new $80 price compared to other larger franchises.
With Xbox Game Pass available, players have a more cost-effective option to experience The Outer Worlds 2 without the hefty price tag.
The gaming industry should explore a broader pricing range that accommodates titles like The Outer Worlds, striking a balance between indie games and high-budget AAA titles.
