Wasteland Remastered Dev Promises To Reward Xbox Fans For ‘Error’ That Made It Free
In mid-April, Xbox accidentally made Wasteland Remastered available for free on the Microsoft Store due to a system glitch. Players who claimed the game during this brief promotional window soon discovered that their free copy was broken and unplayable. InXile Entertainment, the developer responsible for the remastered title, confirmed the mistake and announced it would remove the non-functional version from affected players’ libraries. As compensation for the frustration caused by the error, the studio pledged to provide all impacted players with a working free copy of the game instead. Wasteland Remastered is a modernized version of the original 1988 post-apocalyptic RPG, updated with improved visuals, voice acting, and enhanced mechanics optimized for modern gaming hardware. The game is widely recognized as a spiritual predecessor to popular franchises like Fallout. By offering legitimate free copies to those affected by the technical mishap, InXile Entertainment transformed what could have been a negative situation into a gesture of goodwill for its Xbox fanbase, rewarding players for their patience during the resolution process.
