$80 games were starting to seem inevitable, but upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds 2 is showing that the transition to pricier games isn't going quite as smoothly as publishers might've hoped. Xbox has announced that the game, which had previously been announced at an $80 price point, will instead launch at the now-standard $70 MSRP.
"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," an Xbox spokesperson said in a statement to IGN. The company also said refunds for those who pre-ordered the game at $80 should be going out shortly.
