John Carpenter's Toxic Commando joined Xbox Game Pass on 12 November, on the Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass plans. Subscribers can download it at no extra cost; everyone else can get a key for well under what Steam asks.
A co-op horde shooter with mud and winches
It came out on 12 March on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Saber Interactive made it and Focus Entertainment publishes it. It runs on the Swarm Engine from World War Z and Space Marine 2, so expect huge crowds, and between fights you drive through mud, winching the truck out when it sticks.
You pick one of four classes, Strike, Defender, Medic or Operator, each with its own skill tree. In September the Retrieval Update added a Retrieval mode plus new weapons and enemies. Steam reviews sit at Mostly Positive, with 71% of 6,466 in favour.
Subscription, Steam or Xbox at a glance
| Option | What you pay | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Game Pass | your usual plan | access while you subscribe and while it stays in the catalogue |
| Steam Key at G2A | €15.34 with coupon GCKG2AB2J8X (€15.63 with fees) | the game in your Steam library for good |
| Steam store | €39.99 (no fees) | the same, at full price |
| Xbox Key, Microsoft Store | €24.99 (no fees) | the console version on your Microsoft account |
The cheapest Steam Key this morning
Steam has no discount running. The best Steam Key was at G2A for €15.34 with the coupon GCKG2AB2J8X (€15.63 with fees), 61% less than Steam once fees are in. Driffle is right behind at €15.00 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€15.94 with fees), 31 cents more.
The key's historical median is €17.25 (without fees). Today's price is a little under that. To wait for another dip, set a price alert. Every store is on the John Carpenter's Toxic Commando key page.
On Xbox, the Microsoft Store is nearly as cheap
The cheapest Xbox Key is at G2A for €24.20 with the same coupon (€24.49 with fees), just fifty cents under the Microsoft Store, so we'd buy it from Microsoft. The median there is €26.68 and the low was €20.57 on 18 May (no fees). Other offers are on the Xbox version page, and if you have Game Pass Ultimate on your console, it's already in your catalogue.
Why we skip the cheap accounts
You'll also see offers labelled Steam Account, like Key4Games at €6.41 with the coupon GOCDKEYS16 (€6.91 with fees), or an Xbox Account there for €11.99 (€12.70 with fees). That's a login to somebody else's account that already has the game, so it never ends up under your name. We'd stick to the key.
Who should buy it and who can stay on Game Pass
If you already subscribe and just want a few evenings of co-op, play it on Game Pass. Buying makes sense if your group plays on Steam, because the Steam Key puts you in the same store as them, or if you expect to keep at it for months: under €16 with fees and it's yours. PS5 players get nothing from Game Pass here; the PS5 version is in the comparison too.
Prices checked on the morning of 13 November.
