Redfall has had a sad life, but if you thought it couldn’t get buried any deeper, think again. Microsoft has reportedly begun rolling out Redfall refunds in waves, compensating players who purchased the Bite Back edition of the game.
Microsoft is giving REDFALL refunds!
The discourse surrounding Redfall has been so non-existent lately that it’s easy to forget that the game is over a year old. Unfortunately, this likely brief return to the headlines once again casts a negative light on Arkane Austin’s final product, but players who were optimistic enough to purchase the Redfall Bite Back Edition will no doubt be happy to hear that after a year of waiting, refunds are finally starting to roll in.
There are reports that Microsoft and Bethesda, the publishers behind Redfall, have begun issuing wave after wave of refunds to players who purchased the Bite Back Edition or Bite Back Upgrade for Redfall on Xbox or Steam. The refunded amount would be equal to the price you paid for the Bite Back Upgrade itself, so if you purchased the Redfall Bite Back Edition for the full price of $100, you would get $30 back, as the other $70 went towards purchasing the base game.
The first promise of refunds was made by the official Redfall X (formerly Twitter) account just a week after the game's May 2, 2023 launch. Redfall's disastrous launch quickly led to the cancellation of future plans, most of which were planned to be included in the Bite Back upgrade pack. Since then, owners of the non-existent expansion have been anxiously awaiting their money back, and over a year later, it looks like that's finally coming to fruition. While everyone would probably have preferred a proper expansion, a refund is the best Bite Back owners can hope for these days.
