Second-hand Xbox One games to be near full price?

The Xbox One's launch might have shown us a bit more than the PS4's in terms of hardware, but the question over how it will tackle used games is yet to get a proper answer.

But according to ConsoleDeals, which got its information from a "senior employee" at one of the UK's largest gaming stores, game retailers will be forced to sell second hand games at no more than 10% less than the RRP, giving buyers a second "licence" to access the content.

Microsoft told TechRadar that beyond what it had already stated, it would not comment further on the specifics of its used-game policy.

Treading on X-shells

After the Xbox One launch event, there was a lot of speculation over whether gamers would be able to trade used titles on the next gen platform, and whether a charge would be incurred for doing so.

We do know that when you buy a game you will have to enter a one-time code that locks the game to your Xbox Live account. This means that you'll need to be signed into the same account if you take a game to a friend's house.

If this "leak" is to be believed, Microsoft is likely to have a fight with gamers on its hands. We expect we'll get full clarification at this year's E3.

We've contacted a few other game stores to see if this information has been heard elsewhere, and will update if we hear more.
