A Microsoft Store page went live on May 29 before anyone at Ubisoft intended it to, and it confirmed two things: Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition is real, and someone set the placeholder price at $1,999.99.
Xbox Store leak page
Gaming insider Wario64 caught the listing on Bluesky before it was pulled down, posting screenshots that showed the game targeting Xbox Series X|S with 4K resolution, 60 FPS performance, and unspecified quality-of-life improvements. The page has since been taken offline, but not before the internet got a good look.
The $2,000 platformer nobody asked for
Here's the thing: $1,999.99 is obviously a placeholder. Stores routinely drop dummy prices on unlisted pages to prevent the listing from going live at $0.00 or triggering some other storefront error. Nobody at Ubisoft is pricing a remaster of a 14-year-old 2D platformer at two grand.
But the timing is genuinely funny. The gaming industry is in the middle of a very real conversation about what games should cost, with hardware prices climbing and premium game pricing becoming a recurring flashpoint. Seeing a Ubisoft remaster accidentally listed at $1,999.99 right in the middle of all that landed harder than it otherwise would have.
The $1,999.99 figure is a standard storefront placeholder and bears no relation to the game's actual retail price, which Ubisoft has not announced.

What the leak actually tells us about the game
Strip away the absurd price tag and the leak still carries real news. Rayman Origins originally launched in 2011, and its online functionality has been non-operational for years following Ubisoft's decommissioning of legacy online services. An enhanced version targeting current-gen hardware fills a genuine gap, especially for players who want to revisit the game without digging out older hardware.
The confirmed specs from the listing are straightforward:
- 4K resolution support
- 60 FPS performance target
- Quality-of-life features (specifics not detailed in the leaked page)
- Xbox Series X|S as a confirmed platform
The page didn't reveal a release date, and Ubisoft has not made any official statement. This is the kind of leak that confirms a project exists but leaves most of the actual details still under wraps.
Store page leaks have a history of long waits
If the Beyond Good and Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition situation is any reference point, patience will be required. That remaster suffered a similar accidental store listing and then went quiet for roughly seven months before Ubisoft officially revealed it. There's no guarantee the same timeline applies here, but it's worth keeping expectations measured.
Ubisoft has been leaning into its back catalog with anniversary editions and remasters across several franchises. Rayman Origins fits that pattern neatly, and the action adventure games space has seen consistent appetite for well-made platformer revivals. The question now is just when the official announcement comes.
For players who want to stay sharp on remastered action adventure games while waiting, the Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is worth your time, and there's a full walkthrough and strategy guide available if you want to work through every chapter. The official Ubisoft reveal for Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition will almost certainly come at a major showcase, so the next few months of gaming events are worth watching closely.
