After the incredibly confusing explanations<\/a> of how the second-hand Xbox One game market will work, a \u201chigh-ranking\u201d industry source has given more clarity on the convoluted subject.<\/p>\n

The concern arose when it was explained that an activation fee is needed if you lend a game to a friend. However, if you trade in your game to a retail store, and then another gamer goes and buys it, they will not pay the activation fee \u2013 the retailer will.<\/p>\n

The source confirmed that part of that activation fee will go to a publisher and part to Microsoft.<\/p>\n

The confusion still exists with how hefty the activation price will be, as Microsoft is yet to set the amount.<\/p>\n

So, to summarise, you will purchase a second-hand game according to its lowered retail price. Then the store will pay the activation fee, and you\u2019re free to take your used game home, according to the source.<\/p>\n

Seems like the small details of this are slowly emerging, but there are still many unanswered questions about the second-hand Xbox One process.<\/p>\n
