About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Not really a "deal" unless you're on game pass, but more of a heads up that Age of Empires IV is now available for download/playing on Xbox consoles (finally!) and also I think via cloud gaming.
The console version is, I think, tailor-made for a better console experience (and possibly also compatible with mouse keyboard), but it's still downloading for me so I haven't had the chance to try everything out.

For years you’ve battled armies and made history your story. Now it’s time to make history once more with a new breakthrough in strategy gaming – introducing Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition now available on Xbox consoles.
Enjoy innovative ways to play one of the most beloved strategy games ever with native inputs for Xbox controller, console-specific user interface, and a new tutorial designed for first time players to help achieve easy setup and success. Additionally, if you prefer playing with a keyboard and mouse you can easily plug directly into your console.
Return to History – The past is prologue as you are immersed in a rich historical setting of 10 diverse civilizations across the world from the English to the Chinese to the Delhi Sultanate in your quest for victory. Build cities, manage resources, and lead your troops to battle on land and at sea in 4 distinct campaigns with 35 missions that span across 500 years of history from the Dark Ages up to the Renaissance.
Choose Your Path to Greatness with Historical Figures – Live the adventures of Joan of Arc in her quest to defeat the English, or command mighty Mongol troops as Genghis Khan in his conquest across Asia. The choice is yours – and every decision you make will determine the outcome of history.
Challenge the World – Jump online to compete, cooperate or spectate with up to 7 of your friends in PVP and PVE multiplayer modes on Xbox One Series X I S and up to 3 friends on Xbox One. (Online console multiplayer requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold, subscriptions sold separately.)
An Age for All Players – Age of Empires IV is an inviting experience for new players with a console-specific tutorial that teaches the essence of real-time strategy and a Campaign Story Mode designed for first time players to help achieve easy setup and success, yet is challenging enough for veteran players with new game mechanics, evolved strategies, and combat techniques.

sorted byanyway I have game pass for now so I will try it anyway
I think I'm too lazy to build up a settlement, but I love the idea of setting in on a pitched battle with some AI punters.
Edit - oops I meant 3, didn't even know there was a 4! Guess they just skipped 3 for Xbox? (edited)
"Age Of Empires Anniversary Edition out today on Xbox consoles. Those who already own the PC version via the Microsoft Store will also be able to jump into the Xbox version for no extra cost thanks to it being an Xbox Play Anywhere title too. Moreover, being an Xbox first-party title, Game Pass subscribers can also jump in when the game is available."
