New Xbox games to increase in price by 2023?
IGN reports that by 2023, games made for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, including Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield, will cost 70 USD at launch.
Although Xbox notes that regional pricing will likely differ, they currently have not provided pricing specifications for other countries.
