When the Steam Sales are on, everyone wants to fight back against the massive attention it gets with their own offers and deals. Microsoft have just waded in with their offering: the Ultimate Game Sale.
So, what’s on offer? You’re probably assuming it’s most things, being an Ultimate Game Sale, but some big first-party hits, such as Forza Horizon 3, have no discounts at all. Ultimate.
Forza Horizon 3 is almost a year old, but you still have to pay $59.99 to play it on PC, which is just ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad, but there's not all that much else on the store. You'd think Microsoft would offer something on first-party games.I'm getting daily emails from Steam listing the 47 games that are on sale just from my wishlist, most for 50% off or more, and that's after I bought everything that had already been marked down below CAD$5.00. Meanwhile, Microsofr's Ultimate Game Sale puts a grand total of 5 games on sale, all for $29.99 (except ROBLOX, which I guess is free2play because it only offers in-game discounts).
Honestly, can someone please sell Microsoft a clue?
