A quick check on the Xbox Store shows that purchasing Gears of War 4 digitally would set you back by Rs. 4,000. Nearly the same as what it would cost you on Amazon. Keep in mind that buying Gears of War 4 digitally for the Xbox One nets you the Windows 10 version as well thanks to Microsoft’s Xbox Play Anywhere program. Although, you're looking at around a 40 to 50GB download, which isn't exactly feasible given the bandwidth constraints in India. And if you want it on Windows 10 PC, you'll have to download it on that too, effectively doubling your data cost.
