Microsoft will be slashing prices, starting today, on some of the biggest games currently available in Xbox Live’s Games on Demand service (including Halo 4).
The ‘Xbox Ultimate Game Sale’ sees some titles cut down as much as 85% off the asking price. It’s not super clear right now, but it looks like new games will be rotated in and out on a daily basis, which kind of reminds me of the way Steam conducts its (in)famous seasonal sales. If Microsoft is planning on adopting a similar strategy, I can’t imaging there’d be too many gamers out there who would complain.
Today, to kick things off apparently, is Halo day. Halo 4 is cut down to $39.99 USD, while Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo Reach are all sitting at only $9.99 USD. Good day to catch up with the Chief if you’ve missed a few of his go-arounds.
As for what else is coming down the pike, there’s plenty- but if you’re looking for a schedule you won’t find one. What we do know, thanks to industry site MCV, is that the following titles will all be a part of the sale… at some point.
Assassins Creed

Good hunting.
