In addition to the leak, the design and specifications of the all-digital Xbox Series are leaky.

In the online rich documentation, we find the actual cost of the Xbox and PC game pass catalog with content and the internal estimate of the cost that Microsoft would have had to sustain.

In the list of third-party games that we are in the top four of social media and the most popular forums, we find the titles that have actually become into Game Pass recently (like LEGO Star Wars, GTA 5 o Return to Monkey Island) as well as many other video games (from triple A to independent projects) that Microsoft would’ve considered perfect complements to its gaming offering.

For comic books like Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Microsoft would hypothesize a request from Electronic Arts for more than 300 dollars, while for games like Assassins Creed or Mortal Kombat 1, the Redmond house would expect to have to cut two checks to Ubisoft and Warner Bros. 250 million dollars.

Red Dead Redemption 2 $5 million per month Suicide Squad 250 million Star Wars Jedi Survivor $300 million Mortal Kombat 1 $250 million Baldurs Gate 3 $5 million Gotham Knights $30 million Fifty-fives Assassins Creed Rift/Mirage $100 million GTA V between $12 and $15 million per month Dying Light 2 $50 million Star Wars 3 $10-14 million Just Dance 5 million Fifty-fives Those 5 million-fives / Dough Thriller 5 million / Goblin

Yet it’s important to highlight that the figures just reported don’t represent actual amounts invested by Microsoft; rather, simple estimates are linked to the demands of individuals and developers. In any case, it seems strange to note how one of the names listed in the leak, the superhero adventure Gotham Knights, has just passed the beach in the past, along with the new games for September.
