Before the launch of the future Xbox Series X and PS5, on e-commerce sites, there is already excitement. Game listings are created and updated several weeks or months in advance, with specific keywords – enough to ensure that the future customer comes first on these results on D-Day. Thus, we can already see them appear on Amazon the listing of several games with the keyword Xbox Series X in the title.
The price of the first Xbox Series X games begins to appear
You can try the experiment yourself: if you type Xbox Series X into the Amazon search engine, and you filter the results to show only Xbox One games, then you will come across a list of upcoming games on Xbox. X Series. With often already the possibility to buy them for Xbox One ( the Xbox Series X is backward compatible ). From the outset one observation: even if it is difficult to reach a conclusion for lack of official information, the prices do not seem to increase. Which gives a slightly less salty addition than the € 75 that some leakers presented as the new standard.
We note, however, that only limited editions are currently listed on Amazon. Which leaves the door open at lower prices. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Limited Edition and Watch Dogs Legion – Limited Edition are available for € 69.99. Other games like NBA 2K21 for the Xbox Series X are already available for pre-order for € 74.99 with delivery for December 31, 2020. Far Cry 6 Limited Edition is offered at € 70.
This price uncertainty is reinforced by the fact that the US version of the site lists games like Scarlet Nexus for a price of $ 59.99 – or € 51.50 after conversion. Which looks like the current price of Xbox One games.
