Xbox has confirmed the prices and release date for both consoles.
Update (09/09/2020): Xbox officially revealed the price and release date for the Xbox Series X. The console will be available on November 10 for $499, with pre-orders going live on September 22.
Xbox also provided details about the Xbox All Access program, which gives consumers another way to purchase either the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. The Xbox All Access program allows buyers to purchase the console of their choice and a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate under a contract that lasts for 24 months. Under this program, the Xbox Series S is available for $24.99 per month for 24 months, and the Xbox Series X is available for $34.99 per month for 24 months.
Finally, Xbox announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will receive access to an EA Play membership at no additional cost “starting this holiday.” EA Play is Electronic Arts’ game subscription service, which gives members access to 60 of the company’s games, such as The Sims 4 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.
Original Story:
After months of waiting, we finally know when the Xbox Series S will be released, and how much it will cost.
The all-digital version of Xbox’s next-generation video game console will be released on November 10, 2020 for $299. Since the console is “all-digital,” this means it won’t let you play physical game discs. Instead, you’ll be able to play games that you’ve downloaded digitally over the internet. This makes the console similar to the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, which was released in 2019.
As of this writing, Xbox hasn’t confirmed the price and launch date of its other next-gen console, the Xbox Series X. However, Windows Central has reported that the system will also be released on November 10, 2020 for $499. Windows Central also reported the price and release date of the Xbox Series S before these details were officially announced, so there’s a good chance the outlet is also correct about the Xbox Series X.
