Why price difference on Steam and Microsoft

[SecretOne]

Why is there a price difference of £14 for the top version between Steam and Microsoft. Steam is cheaper .

[Trec]

It`s cause of the Microsoft play anywhere thing. The Microsoft Version also will works on a Xbox (cross save ability as far as I know).

Except on steam they take like a 30% cut. On Microsoft they get the full value. So they could go cheaper and still come out ahead by siphoning from Steam.

Thanks for the answers. I don't have a console so will save myself a few quid and get it on Steam.

I have heard some people use what is it? Green Man Gaming? I think they give you a steam code. Not sure how they get prices cheaper. May not be an option for a game like this though.

because if you go outside the "standard" currencies, that being USD and euro, the regional pricing on different stores can be super different.
for example, the USD price and euro price is the same on each store.
but for other currencies it might be different because stores do not use some universal exhange or regional pricing system.
