The famous hot seat is calling once again, and this time, it’s promising the ultimate test.
Microids has just launched the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – Final Answer Edition on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. However, this new, content-packed bundle comes with a high-stakes question of its own: is it worth the hefty £41.74 price tag?
It’s a question we’ve definitely asked of this game before. Now, it’s back with what appears to be a definitive attempt to justify its cost.
A Second Chance to Phone-a-Friend?
Let’s be frank. When the base game of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? first launched on Xbox back in 2020, we weren’t exactly impressed with its value proposition. In our original review, we felt that as a full-price title, “there’s not enough here to justify to cost” and concluded that even dedicated fans “will feel short-changed by the price tag.“
The core problem was a disappointingly shallow pool of content for the asking price. This new Final Answer Edition seems to be a direct, if very late, response to that specific criticism. It aims to solve the game’s biggest problem by burying it under an avalanche of new questions and content.
So, What Does £41.74 Actually Get You?
This isn’t just a simple Game of the Year repackaging. The Final Answer Edition is a comprehensive content vault, apparently designed to be the one and only version you’ll ever need. The main draw is the sheer volume: the total question count has been boosted to over 12,000.
Here’s a breakdown of the full package:
- The full base game of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
- The Deluxe Upgrade, which is crucial. This unlocks the QUICK and NO TIMER modes, allowing you to finally tailor the play style to your own preferences, which is perfect for a more relaxed party setting.
- All previously released question packs from 2020 onwards.
On top of all the legacy DLC, this edition adds 13 completely new topic packs to the roster. This new content spans a huge range of interests, including:
- Mythology
- 80s Music
- 90s Music
- 2000s Music
- Ancient Egypt
- Ancient Greek and Roman Civilizations
- Racing
- Inventors and Inventions
- Monuments and Wonders
- Stars and Celebrities
- TV Series
- World War II
- US Movies from the 2000s
Our Final Answer (For Now)
The £41.74 price tag still places this bundle firmly in the premium category. However, the fundamental complaint from our original review – a lack of content – has been addressed with overwhelming force. With over 12,000 questions and new modes, the question is no longer “Is there enough to do?”
The new question is whether the core gameplay, which we found decent but light, can sustain your interest across that sheer volume of trivia.
If your only hesitation back in 2020 was the sparse question bank, this edition has unequivocally solved that problem. This is the content-stuffed, feature-complete version that fans likely wanted from the very start. If you’ve been waiting to phone-a-friend before buying, this massive content drop might just be the expert advice you were looking for.
The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – Final Answer Edition is available to download from the Xbox Store right now.
