Xbox’s latest Ultimate Game Sale offers ‘savings of up to 80%’
It includes discounts on almost 800 products, according to Microsoft
Microsoft has launched a new Xbox Ultimate Game Sale promotion.
Running from July 15-31, it claims the promotion includes savings of up to 80% on games available through Microsoft Store and the Xbox website.
When VGC checked, there were 798 products available in the sale, including different editions of the same game and season passes.
Xbox’s regular Free Play Days promotion is also now live, allowing Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to try out three more games for free this weekend.
For the King, MLB The Show 22 and Tropico 6 are available for subscribers to play at no extra charge until July 17 at 11.59pm PT.
Microsoft confirmed last week that Xbox Games with Gold will no longer include Xbox 360 titles beginning in October 2022.
“We’re always looking at ways to evolve the Xbox experience based on community engagement, feedback and shifting company priorities,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VGC.
“We have reached the limit of our ability to bring new games to the catalog from the past due to licensing and technical constraints. We will continue to focus on providing Xbox One titles through the Games with Gold program.”
July Xbox Live Games with Gold titles include Beasts of Maravilla Island, Relicta, and Xbox 360 games Thrillville: Off the Rails and Torchlight.
Titles added to Xbox Game Pass so far in July include Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Last Call BBS, DJMax Respect V, Matchpoint: Tennis Championships, Road 96, Escape Academy, My Friend Peppa Pig, Overwhelm, Paw Patrol the Movie and PowerWash Simulator.
