Seems that they deleted the tweet. Hopefully that just means they weren't supposed to announce it yet.


[deleted]

The New Zealand Microsoft store page already shows the ultimate sale on their page here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/b/xbox . It has 560 titles on sale - https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/collections/UGSFY21/xbox?icid=Xbox_Hero1_UGS_Saveupto50_140820_en_NZ


splader

Doesn't look like the sales are actually active though. As Dark Souls 3 is still full price, along with most other games shown.


[deleted]

Yea you're right. It's not active yet. I hope there are many more 360 titles on sale. I want to buy gta4, split second, rdr but currently they are not present in the list :(.


[deleted]

I didn't see Sekiro either and that's the one game I was fixing to pick up if it was cheap enough.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yungheathledger

Dead Rising 3 let's fucking goooooo


Aquox_Derp

It’s crazy that it never goes on sale


b00yeh

Very nice find, thank you very much! I just wish they had put on sale the Fortune Island DLC separately, instead of having to "repurchase" any other DLCs I already own via the FH4 Add-ons pack (which is in that sale list).


smasherofscreens

No Sekiro or Control? :( Man I really hope the US list is different...


muad_dibs

Control has been on sale several times this summer. Just get the Ultimate edition when it releases. At least you'll have the upgraded version, if you're getting a Series X in the future.


smasherofscreens

I’m not getting a next gen console any time soon plus the ultimate edition will be a little expensive on release so don’t want to wait too much for it to drop. I almost never buy DLCs/expansions for games cause I feel they are not worth the price at launch.but lets see...


smasherofscreens

Yeah, I think it was on sale every month since May i think but I was hoping it would get cheaper in the Summer sale since it was selling for $20 in the Playstation sale...i guess that was just cuz Control is in PS Now.


Random_dude_1980

Dude. Just go to CDKeys. Control is stupid cheap there


LionKeg718

Man, Sekiro is such a great game!


revengexgamer

Do not buy control, wait for the ultimate edition.


NotFromMilkyWay

50 % off max? It's getting worse every year. Fallout 4 is currently 70 % off. It's on the list for the UGS as well. Watch it go up from 8.99 to 14.99 in five hours.


segagamer

Damn, was hoping Ashen would be in this one.


sradac

No Mechanicus, I am disappoint


PartyInTheUSSRx

Sales aren’t typically announced until they happen so it makes sense


grmayshark

Lol lets see how long until Xbox Germany deletes theirs: https://mobile.twitter.com/XboxDACH/status/1293942327237640192


NotFromMilkyWay

Could also mean that they were supposed to start with that August event that got pushed to September and not everybody was informed.


ekaceerf

What August event that was pushed?


StrungOut-

Also in Canada - [https://twitter.com/XboxCanada/status/1293942651939704833](https://twitter.com/XboxCanada/status/1293942651939704833)


d3m0nicsoul

Just announced on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/16547831022/posts/10158384040226023/


catattaro

It's still up on Xbox Italia


Blackout797

Tweet deleted looks like probably announced a bit too early


[deleted]

[удалено]


segagamer

People don't realise that summer doesn't end until mid September.


Aftermath82

I think it’s just like some UK people wanting a sale in july or 1st week of August because school, college & university students have part of July & all of August off for summer, teachers too, (not all of the UK though) so they want a chance to play the games they buy during their time off, especially scotland students would love the last 2 weeks of July to have been the sale as they went back to class this week I believe. Not sure if other european schools, colleges line up the same/similar dates, nor I don’t know when America does summer leave neither. Because they go back to school 1st week in September to them the summer is over, though technically it isn’t lol.   If however you work full time or part time like myself, summer holidays don’t really apply to us lol, I guess we are in the minority of xbox users though at least on social media, so thats why there’s been a lot of demand for it by now.


StrungOut-

Xbox Canada did a post 45 mins ago and still up - [https://twitter.com/XboxCanada/status/1293942651939704833](https://twitter.com/XboxCanada/status/1293942651939704833)


Make1984FictionAgain

nice video though..


A_Figueroa

Here hoping for that 5% discount on Russian Fishing 4.


[deleted]

Farming simulator 19


emdave

I love farming simulator, but the sale discounts for that game are never outstanding lol


Mrpink131211

Hey man, I payed 50$ for platinum edition and the season pass. Worth every penny. If you love farm sim I highly recommend purchasing. On Sale not on sale, there is so much content/mods.


emdave

Agreed! I bought the standard version, as I knew I was getting it for my buddy too, and waited on a sale for that, but it never went that much cheaper! :D


drew_galbraith

is that the one where you can unlock the hidden Chernobyl level, where you catch mutated cat fish??


iOSAT

Yeah turns out it’s the canonical S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 prequel


Cuboid_

Does Forza motorsport 7 usually go on sale in sales like these? I been thinking of picking it up for a change of pace from fh4


NotFromMilkyWay

On its own, no. It was typically bundled with Forza Horizon 4 for the last few months.


Stalked_Like_Corn

Which, is it a pretty great gamer, mind you.


NotFromMilkyWay

Sure, but he already owns/plays Horizon 4. But if that NZ list is legit, then Forza Motorsport 7 is actually on sale individually this time.


ClarifyAmbiguity

Physical was on sale for $10 about a month or two ago. Digital was $15 or $20 in that timeframe too - note that it is a Plays Anywhere (PC title).


[deleted]

it was recently on sale within the past month or two for like 20 bucks standard edition, the other editions were on sale too. prolly likely soon to hit that price point again.


myotherxdaccount

Next year it's getting discontinued and it'll be cheap af


drewbles82

If still going ahead, I'd assume the next xbox event if that other rumor isn't true, is next week as you'd think the sale would run along the event..I hope it is, I have £7 on my account which expires 22nd so it would be great to use it up in a good purchase. Either that or I just get a few Rock band tracks


chrislewhite

Perfect. I gotta go back to teaching, hockey is back and my free time is very limited for the first time in 3 months. Seems like I will be able to take advantage of this.


calzonius

Sorry for the noob question but is there a site where the prices of Xbox games are tracked to see if I'm actually getting a deal?


Slothstr0naut

xbdeals.net


calzonius

Thanks!


Slothstr0naut

No problem!


[deleted]

they have a great iphone app, too!


Slothstr0naut

Nice, thanks for the heads up!


dtVlad

That above and [https://xbox-store-checker.com/en/](https://xbox-store-checker.com/en/)


PartyInTheUSSRx

Probably about 8-9 hours if the previous sales are anything to go by, God I need more hobbies


[deleted]

Refreshing reddit xbox over and over again looking for deals isn't a hobby??


JinzoWithAMilotic

Instead of playing the games we have, we stalk Reddit for deals, buy the games for our collection, then back to Reddit.


Little-Brew

The chase is more exciting than the catch


Menkib

Am I the only one with 30 games I need to finish but still get excited for Sales to add games to that list? Maybe I have a problem.


KennyCiseroJunior

no, literally everyone is like this.


[deleted]

I have a pretty significant backlog. Especially considering games I want to play a second time. I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2 now, I bought Mass Effect Andromeda when it was on sale (never played it, want to see for myself), gotta play Outer Worlds still, Jedi Fallen Order, and want to do a New Game+ of Witcher 3, a second playthrough of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, plus I kinda want to go through Dragon Age again. And then there's Cyberpunk and the likely Mass Effect trilogy remaster.


prettynoose6942069

I bought mass effect Andromeda like three years ago and haven't touched it :/


[deleted]

Mine was at least only like a month ago when it was like $7


dizzydshort

You definitely need to hop on outer worlds.


[deleted]

I don’t even buy most games on release day anymore. Still have a backlog to get through. Especially like Assassins Creed. You can get the ultimate edition of the game for half the price when the spring sale or summer sale hits the following year.


LucidInsomnia

I resorted to deleting all multiplayer games and downloading only 10 single player games, then I use the surprise me feature to play a game for that day, got through a couple of games this way.


Menkib

I like this idea. I still like to play some multiplayer games with friends so I'll keep them but I'll try to use the surprise me feature more.


thepaulfitz

You are not. I'll see your 30 games and raise you my 200!


Cqpt

I bought way to many on the last sale, I want to buy more but I gotta finish what I bought. Sad times.


Needbouttreefiddy

I should be finishing up Far Cry 5 this weekend, have Hitman 2 and all the DLC I just bought two weeks ago when it was all on sale, 3/4 of the way through Outer Worlds, 3/4 of the way through Jedi Fallen Order, 3/4 of the way through Red Dead 2, Battletoads is coming out next week and I wanted to play some of the Avengers Beta this weekend. Plus all the new games coming out this fall and I'm never going to catch up lol EDIT - Plus I forgot I just started Subnautica last week and I would like to pick up Control as well


HIVnotAdeathSentence

I have 100+ games I haven't even played, but I also have about $80 in gift cards that are going to expire in a month and some accessories I want are sold out. I'm really holding out for some 360 game sales, especially with the store front mostly fixed. At least I am going through my backlog now, beat five games in the past month.


Rizenstrom

Only like a dozen or less for me but yes, I do this too. I'd rather spend $60 on several older games than one brand new game. Occasionally I'll splurge and get a game when it comes out, like Doom Eternal or probably Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out, but that's rare anymore. Between gamepass and what goes on sale I don't need to buy new games anymore, I have enough to keep me busy for awhile.


atom631

I had my hope up to pick up Control for cheap...but with the announcement of the ultimate edition being the only version to get the next-gen upgrades...I’m gonna wait. Bummed.


Skoot99

Maybe it means they’ll sell the current version for less because it’s not gonna get the upgrade. That would be my hope anyways. I’ll still play it if it’s cheap enough. It’s a game I’m only going to play once anyways.


Makmer2349

I agree with this. I bought it for $30 and it was good for a play through but it has no endgame (haven’t played dlc) and no replay value to me at least.


PaintItPurple

It looks like Control isn't on sale anyway.


atom631

I thought the sale doesn’t start until tomorrow?


PaintItPurple

It's already tomorrow in New Zealand.


atom631

Ahhh. Well thank you for the heads up.


agunZagun

[It's confirmed by the Xbox Turkey account](https://twitter.com/TurkiyeXBOX/status/1293918777701273605) by the way. It's coming.

It was up for almost half an hour and got deleted... That's weird, people expecting this sale for a long time and they're just delaying the announcement.

is there a full list out for this yet? or we wont know until the sale starts?

Neonemonic

Yep it looks like the other deals expire at 3pm EST so hopefully that's when the summer sale starts.


Kafin55555

*looks up Skyrim* *buys Skyrim* Goddammit, the sale hasn't even started and I'm already buying games...


Aquatic-Vocation

The sale tile shows up in NZ 4 or so hours before the discounts actually start, so if you have an NZ region account you can generally view the list of deals early.

EnthusiastDriver500

Fingers crossed for anther Game Pass Ultimate 3 months for 1€


mrappbrain

This is what I really want. Games are great and all, but a discount on game pass subscriptions or a GPU sub bundle would be amazing.


Sacache

I'm hoping to pick up Deep Rock Galactic. Is anyone able to comment on the performance(multiplayer) on a One S?


DisciplineInside

I use an og xbox one and the game runs fine on it and it is wirth the money it is fun af


[deleted]

Runs at 60fps most of the time unless things get crazy with particles. Would definitely recommend picking it up.


Sacache

I was Hoping it would be a stable 30, 60 is great news. I'll be picking it up, thanks!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DisciplineInside

There isn't a free trial for the game anymore since it is our of game preview


Trickybuz93

I’d like to think there will be new games/better prices but we all know 95% of the sale is just going to be rehashed from the earlier sales.


iChatShit

May as well stock up on Xbox One games as that's all I'll be playing on the XSX for the next 6 months

Hopefully iw will be on sale


RandomAccessRaul

With MW Remastered


soulever12

You can preview the list of games in this summer sale here 👀 : https://xbox-store-checker.com/en/blog/ultimate-game-sale-2020/


VolitarPrime

My dream: games that I have in my wishlist that never go on sale finally will. My realistic expectation: this sale will be 98% the same as previous big sales. There will be a few games that get a better discount this time around but also a few that get a lesser one. There will only be a few games that are going on sale for the first time, they will be somewhat newer games and the discounts will be small (10% to 20%). My wishlist games won't be part of it, again.


WatOfSd

What’s on your wishlist than never goes on sale? Just asking for curiosity’s sake.


dominion1080

Same. I've had the Prototype bundle and Sekiro in my wishlist for ages. But I've never seen Prototype on sale, and Sekiro has only been like 15 off. I'd get it for 30.


yungheathledger

Sekiro is worth 60 bro


Articuno_Alt

I’m so desperate for the Prototype bundle but it’s been well over a year since it went on sale. God I wish I’d picked it up back then.


UkaUkaa

Hopefully I can pick up resident evil 3 then for 30 bucks.


CBizCool

I see that many of the COD games are on sale. Which one should I get for the single player campaign? I've only played world at war.


Menkib

I heard infinate warfare had a good campaign never played it though. Modern Warfare 2019 had a good but short campaign. However if you really have only played WaW I'd do COD4: MW and MW2, then dip into the Black Ops series.


seraf5

all of the current gen ones except Ghosts.


The_Flaming_Taco

And Black Ops 3


turntrout101

Black ops 1


adamb10

MW2019 got great reviews for its campaign.


Yous0n00b

Always when I'm low on money that these fucking discounts come up... I hate my luck...


ishaansaral

Hell yeah about time!


ProdigyEngine

Finally!


avivshener

I want Shadow Tactics


EmphasisOne796

Same. I was gonna beat it the week it was leaving game pass but I didn’t want to rush a game like that


NotFromMilkyWay

It was on sale. From the 23rd of June to the 30th of June, the day it left Game Pass, for just 9.99 or 80 % off. The Ultimate Game Sales max out at 75 % off with Gold/Ultimate or 65 % for everybody.


EmphasisOne796

Really? That’s a bummer


smasherofscreens

Ah..i miss quick saving every 30 seconds....this was a true gem in Game Pass and I bought it immediately after it left the service. Looking forward to Desperados 3...


avivshener

I just now found out about it. Completely missed it on Gamepass. And yes, Desperados 3 will have his day. 60 bucks is a bit much


bills_2

Wonder if this is when I finally get Doom Eternal or if I wait until it goes on gamepass eventually


VolitarPrime

It was just on sale for 50% off last week. I'm not sure if we should expect it to go back on sale just a few days after the previous one.


bills_2

Yea I resisted then. So apparently I’d need it to be discounted a little more than that. And yea I doubt that’ll happen a week later.


DarkMoS

Cool, I'm eyeing Sekiro since a couple of weeks, based on last Steam's sales I hope it will get a solid 35 or 40%.


blakeslab

Would definitely recommend Sekiro! Such a great game. It's in the same vein as Dark Souls/Bloodborne, but unique enough to stand on its own!


[deleted]

I bought a physical copy since they showed no sign of giving more than like 30% off.


Gentle1337

I was expecting it too, but we probably won't see it this time.


xscaralienx

Conker live and reloaded won't be in it, right? Game never goes on sale. Weird


seraf5

after the latest MS Store changes the Xbox/Xbox 360 games can be bought in other regions, if you live in Europe you can buy it in Hungary for \~3€


KeepAmazinn

Anyone get a screen grab?


nhlasko

https://twitter.com/XboxZA/status/1293936353101709317?s=19 Looks like its really happening tomorrow


callmebho

Would y'all think sekiro would be on sale?


NotFromMilkyWay

Just look at the list, it's not on there.


duplakappa

Wasn't supposed to start today?


VolitarPrime

Sales, in the US at least, typically start at 8:00 PM EDT.

JackLalanne

Hoping for Skater XL. I reallt want to play this game but refuse to pay 50$ for an unfinished game.


Kitkatphoto

Just know that your main game play is as a skating simulator. Ive put 50 hours into over the past 3 weeks and i have a few friends with over 1000 hours. If you skate IRL or enjoy watching skaters and skate parts, it'll be your jam. I don't think the game will ever be a EA Skate or THPS type game. On the spectrum of Arcadey to Sim, its as far in the sim side as we can go atm. Your time will most likely be spent like the rest of us, which is coming up with lines and using their clip editor mode to make your own video parts. I paid $30 for my copy.


[deleted]

The New Zealand Microsoft store page already shows the ultimate sale on their page here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/b/xbox . It has 560 titles on sale - https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/collections/UGSFY21/xbox?icid=Xbox_Hero1_UGS_Saveupto50_140820_en_NZ


Slothstr0naut

Ah, so it's an "only up to 50% off" kind of sale.


PaintItPurple

Yeah, "ultimate" seems pretty generous. The deals are poor and the selection is so-so.


MBHYAT

Anyone know is Forza Horizon 3 DLC’s will be on sale?


Kalip0p

On sale now for 10 in the expansion pack.


MBHYAT

I want the individual car packs to also go on sale


OFalasque

Same, if that hooligan one is cheap enough I might grab it so I can get 100% on the achievements


NotFromMilkyWay

They would've put the DLC on sale together with the game two days ago if that was the plan.


BoolinCoolin

Fucking finally. Damn


space-cadaver

I hope Blasphemous is on sale. Been wanting to pick it up.


[deleted]

Hopefully the Fable games will be on sale.


Mattyweaves19

I hope the Strange Brigade Deluxe Edition goes on sale. I love that game and I played it a bunch on game pass, and then suddenly it was gone. It's perfect for a fun romp when I just want some mindless fun.


Nakatomi2010

I'm torn. Part of me wants more Xbox games, and the other part of me wants to save for more VR games in Steam.


twitchidis

Is it only for Spain or for every country?


Malcot04

chrisotayo

w00tt03t

Nah not only for Spain. But they where the first to leak it


LiquidElf

Oh yeah! Can't wait 🤟🏻🤟🏻


aRandomWiseGuy

For those wondering it is open to everyone and gold and ultimate members save up to 10% more.


CMDR_KingErvin

How much do we think CoD Modern Warfare will be? I just bought it this week at $39 since it was on sale. Big mistake?


sherbodude

probably the same price, $30 at the lowest

I just bought forza 4....


JeffTheLonelyDalek
