Today, we are thrilled to announce that Age of Empires: Definitive Edition will launch on the Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) and Ultimate, and Steam on November 14, 2019 !
For all you Age II players eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Definitive Edition, you can pre-order the game on the Microsoft Store and Steam starting TODAY! You’ll be able to enjoy all the features—including cross play with your friends, four brand-new civilizations, three new campaigns, and a transport ship full of game improvements—right on day one, so be sure to unlock your copy today:
Our goal is to make the best possible version of Age II that we can, working right alongside our community. So while Age II DE’s release is only a few months away, you can sign up to participate in the Age II DE beta right now – visit ageofempires.com/insiders to join the Age Insider program—and help us tune and refine Age II even further. You’ll also have a chance to participate in future beta opportunities, so sign up!
For more information, visit the official announcement over on Xbox Wire.
Our production team is aware and working on a fix for an issue preventing some players from pre-ordering the game! So, hang tight; we’ll let you know when we’ve implemented a solution!
I already bought the bundle and im also a beta member of AoE2 DE. I just got AoE1 DE, but no sign of AoE2 DE, (since steam says i “already” got the game).
I try to preorder Age2DE but the price was 19.99€ , i also have Age2HD, dont i get a 5€ discount?
----EDIT----
You must choose the budle Age2 2013 and Age2 DE in order to take the discount!
I tried to buy the game as soon as it was announced on xbox stream and the “purchase for myself” option is disabled. I have access to the beta through steam so the shop thinks i already own the game but I DON’T. Help please!
EDIT: I already post this on steam discussions. I’m just trying to attack the issue from all fronts available
The problem is that the bundle is priced at 14.99€ for beta participants, because Steam thinks we already own AOE2DE. I am guessing that buying this bundle for 14.99€ only gives us AOE1DE and when the beta ends we will lose AOE2DE. So if you are in the beta, getting this bundle right now only gives you AOE1DE, (although at a pretty nice price, 14.99 € in my region), and then have to buy AOE2DE again after the beta
Well, the game is available on steam for pre purchase and i can’t buy it because i’m participating like beta tester. But i do not know if in the future the price will be higher and i can pay the actual prize, how can i buy it ?
now this comes out in steam

So I’ve tried restarting my Steam client multiple times and seems like not much has changed apart from me being able to buy Age 2 DE but not actually receiving it because I “already own it” (second picture).
