Released in 2014 and 2017 respectively by Monolith Productions and WB Games, these critically acclaimed action RPGs – with Metacritic scores of 84 and 80 – are available together for a combined price of just $7, effectively costing $3.50 per game.One analyst noted that Shadow of Mordor was a standout title in an otherwise lackluster year for gaming.

Game Pass Considerations
It’s worth considering that,with the exception of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor,all of these titles are currently available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Subscribers to Microsoft’s subscription service may find little incentive to purchase these games individually, as they already have access as part of their membership.
These deals represent a significant prospect for Xbox Series X owners to expand their digital libraries at an unprecedented discount. However, with expiration dates looming, gamers should act swiftly to take advantage of these limited-time offers.
