As reported by IGN, Xbox plans to hike the prices of its first-party titles in the new year. Titles like Forza Motorsport, Redfall and Starfield will cost $69.99 USD at launch in 2023. While there might be differences in regional pricing, Xbox didn't provide the details for other countries.

"This price reflects the content, scale, and technical complexity of these titles," a Microsoft spokesperson told IGN. "As with all games developed by our teams at Xbox, they will also be available with Game Pass the same day they launch.”

In October, Phil Spencer hinted at such a price hike and we now have a confirmation; at least when it comes to first party Xbox games. For the time being, the pricing for Xbox's other offerings such as Game Pass has remained unchanged and will be the case until the end of the year.

Stubbornness is what keeps boomers blind to their own mistakes.

Piracy numbers are on the rise as companies keep hiking up prices. When they come complaining later, evidence will be aplenty.

Never-ending cycle, pirates usually win since it costs them nothing but time in the end.

game pass and gold should be able to reduce the price, but then there's having that. I just have gold for the free games mostly, and that's $9.99/month. gold and gamepass are $14.99 iirc, so nothing insane.
