After shutting down Arkane Austin last month and promising refunds for Redfall’s Bite Back Edition, Microsoft has begun issuing the same. Jez Corden of Windows Central reports receiving “tips” that some users received the full amount back.
The refunds are reportedly going out in waves and applied to both Xbox and Steam players. A quick peek at the unofficial subreddit corroborates this, but interestingly, one user even received a refund for the physical Bite Back Edition after speaking to Bethesda Customer Support.
Redfall is available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. It launched to underwhelming reviews (check out ours here), and Microsoft later confirmed it generated “minimal sales.”
Despite its closure, Arkane Austin released one final update for the co-op shooter, adding an offline mode, pausing in solo play, and Elder Nests. There’s also new Unrivaled weapon, a Community Standing tree for unlocking new skills by defeating an Underboss, unlocking Safehouses and more. Head here for more details. Servers will remain online, but stay tuned for updates on that front.
