Xbox One Will NOT Charge For Used Games

Contradictory to everything on the internet, Microsoft has no plans to charge gamers who plan on playing used games. Citing a statement made by Larry Hyrb (Xbox Live’s Major Nelson), “The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox. Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games.” The statement goes on to say that more information will be available at a further date, presumably at E3.

If you are unaware, games on the Xbox One will be installed onto the console itself in order to play. When a gamer sells or lends their game to someone else, this installation will be rendered useless until the game disc is inserted back into the console.

What’s vague about this is an online spot check, in which the console will need to be connected to the internet in order to play games, however, it is still unclear how much time will pass between these spot checks or even if these spot checks will exist when the Xbox One is released.

There you have it, we’ll all be able to play our used copies of Madden 25 and Assassin’s Creed 4.
