Games Currently Available In Xbox Sale:
Additionally, all three games of the former Remedy Entertainment action franchiseMax Payneare part of the Xbox sale. Since Rockstar owns the rights toMax Payneand even developed the third game in the classic bullet-time action trilogy, the games are considered part of Rockstar’s nearly flawless portfolio. It’s possible that the trilogy is included in this Xbox sale to promote Remedy’s upcoming remake of the first twoMax Paynetitles. Though, withAlan Wake 2getting ready for primetime in OctoberandControl 2,alongside two other multiplayer projects, in development at Remedy, it could be a while before fans get a glimpse at theMax Payneremake.
As Summer Game Fest approaches, it’s difficult not to speculate whether Rockstar’s inclusion in this sale is an indication of upcoming news in the coming weeks. Rockstar hasn’t typically been a participant in E3 as it’s always revealed its massive blockbuster titles on its own accord. However, now that Summer Game Fest has effectively taken over the June gaming buzz, it’s definitely a possibility that Rockstar could join the party, especially with talks ofGrand Theft Auto 6reportedly eyeing 2024. Until then, Xbox gamers have a golden opportunity to grab some of Rockstar’s classics on sale.
