Its $35 (Xbox version) on Best Buy. This means they are trying to unload a lot of unsold copies taking up inventory space. Since the game is available on Gamepass, I’m sure this was a deterrent to many purchasers, just because it makes it so much cheaper via subscription.
And I would say for a studio like Bethesda, 7/10 is absolutely a failure of a sorts. The game is probably not a financial failure (though it might be underperforming since they are only telling us how many players and not copies sold, if the copies sold was good they’d say something) but given each of the last 3 games (Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Starfield) has scored lower than its predecessors, that must be an alarming metric for Bethesda. If this continues, it will affect sales.
