Final Warning! Marvel's Avengers Is Being Delisted On Xbox This Week

Update (Wed 27th Sep, 2023): Sadly, the excellent 90% discount for Marvel's Avengers now seems to have suddenly ended, with the game going back up to its standard price of $39.99 / £44.99 on the Xbox Store.

Original story (Mon 25th Sep, 2023): This week marks the end of an era for Marvel's Avengers, which will officially be getting delisted across all platforms on September 30th. This means you'll no longer be able to buy the game from the Xbox Store after that date.

Until then though, the game has received a massive 90% discount, meaning you can purchase the Marvel's Avengers Definitive Edition for just $3.99 / £4.49. In our opinion, that's a no-brainer!

Sure, Marvel's Avengers didn't turn out to be the huge success we'd hoped it would be, but we still had a ton of fun with the excellent single-player campaign, which is definitely worth the small price of admission.

Add to that the fantastic Xbox Series X|S upgrade and the free cosmetic content that's now included for all players, and ultimately it's very good value! Keep in mind that if you do decide to go ahead and buy Marvel's Avengers, you'll still be able to reinstall it after September 30th - it's just that the game won't be purchasable on the Xbox Store after that point, and Square Enix will no longer be supporting it in any fashion either.

What do you think? Is Marvel's Avengers worth $3.99 / £4.49? Tell us down below.

Cheaper than a tub of Ben & Jerry’s and lasts longer too! I’m definitely going to buy it. It’s not the greatest game but it’s well polished and plays decent enough, I enjoyed the campaign from what I’ve played of it. My son who game shares with me will appreciate it more too, it really is a no brainer at £4.49.

another reason to dislike the all digital future. this game will be available on disc for -(practically)- ever.

@MrList If you buy it for 3.99 digitally you own it forever. Even if your house burns down with your Xbox, if that physical copy burns you can't redownload it. Not sure why this upsets you so much.

Nah. I tried the supposedly good campaign for about 5 hours and was done. Sorry but it's just not a very good game, at all. It's currently £2.99 on Steam and I'm still not tempted.

@MrList That makes no sense

I'm buying it today along with a few more things from this last sale.

This game had so much potential. It could been the super hero destiny game. But somehow they just found a way to drop the ball.

It makes me so sad as wanted this game to be around and supported for years.

@GuyinPA75 It likely will still be around for a long time, even without direct support.

Yes, It's a crying shame that it won't be able to be bought new digitally any more, but unless the same forward compatibility that defined the XBOX One in the end goes away, it will still be playable on the next next gen consoles.

In a few days, those who own it will never lose their memories of the halcyon days when it was supported and had something new every few weeks, and will be able to get everything they missed.

Once it's 100% completed, yes, it won't get played again, but at least it will exist as something more than a digital phantasm.

Grabbed this on sale when it first dropped to $4. Haven’t played it yet, but watched my friend play a bunch. Worth it for $4, but I still prefer MUA3 on Switch. Really wish we’d get rereleases of MUA1-2 on modern platforms, missed my chance to grab the Remasters on Xbox back when they came out, and don’t play my PS4 anymore (where I DID snag the remasters)

Quite the DL size huh. Trying to decide if I want to have it eating up space for a while or not.

Campaign is decent and worth having in the library if 2024 has a quiet summer launch schedule.

It’s not that it’s not worth £4 to me, it’s that there are far better experiences to be had for your time. Every game played is an opportunity cost, this one isn’t worth it imho

@iplaygamesnstuff Yeah the physical-only dinosaurs are an interesting bunch, especially considering how useless most game discs are these days without an internet connection to download the rest of the game or updates. They became little more than a physical version of DRM that requires a working disc drive.

As for this, I got enough points to get a free $5 gift card so I guess I'll just get it for free with that.

@JayJ you can tell from peoples attitudes and comments how short sighted and personally oriented their opinions about digital being better than physical are.

if you haven't bought the game already you can never get this game ever in the future when it is delisted.
a kid today may grow up, get into games, buy an old second hand ps5 or seriesx and really want to try out marvels avengers.
they will be able to track down a second hand copy and play it because it came out physical.
in your world they will have to track down one of you guys , get you to remember your decades old accounts, hope that servers for those ancient machines are still up and move in with you to play it.
granted lots of games are not released in a good enough state physically , mostly the big AAA games but lots of games still are. smaller games normally wait to be finished to release on disc and 'complele' editions still get released.
microsoft are the worst for their disc releases with zero effort to include a game on the disc, as you say, just releasing a disc as a download key, basically.

Bought it a while back, but at this price I might actually go and make sure I own it on Steam and PS5… maybe…

@MrList Not a problem if you buy the games digitally, so I don't really see the reason for concern if this is something that is available. That and good luck buying a physical copy for $4 or less.
