I really do love the new-look Xbox Store, but if there’s one gripe I have with it thus far, it’s that it doesn’t really surface every single sale taking place. Case in point: there’s a Splinter Cell sale happening right now that, if you simply browse the “Specials” section in the store, you won’t see.
As it turns out, this little sale is much of a much larger Ubisoft promotion for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. You can see here on the Xbox website that numerous other Ubisoft titles have been given a discount. How you would find this out on your console at the moment — well, that remains a mystery.
It looks like this sale is set to run until next Tuesday, so if you’re in the market for a back-compat Splinter Cell game (or a number of other past-gen Ubisoft titles), definitely have yourself a look. And bear in mind — some of these games have been granted graphical boosts for the Xbox One X, so if you’re on a Series X, you’ll get those, too.
In the meantime, I’ll be scouring my Xbox Series X trying to figure out where you find the Xbox Live Gold deals. It’s great the store looks pretty now, but it could some better organization.
