Xbox has finally announced the price and launch date for its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
It announced the news on Twitter, much to the delight of its eager fans.
It tweeted: “This is the tweet… Xbox Series X: £449 (ERP) Xbox Series S: £249 (ERP) Release date: November 10th. Pre-order starts September 22nd.”
In a blog about the pricing, Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, explained that the main Xbox Series X console will launch alongside a smaller, more budget-friendly device, the Xbox Series S.
He said: ” We believe that access to the next generation should be available to everyone. And we know that price is an important factor for many of our fans.
“To complement Xbox Series X and invite more players into the next generation sooner, we built Xbox Series S—an all digital, next-gen console designed to deliver everything that is core to next-generation gaming – faster load times, higher frame rates, and richer, more dynamic worlds – in our smallest, sleekest Xbox ever.
“Developing two consoles in parallel from the beginning enables us to deliver the most powerful console ever in Xbox Series X and make next-gen gaming available and affordable to more players on day one with Xbox Series S.”
Mr Spencer added that in addition to the traditional option of purchasing the console, Xbox is also expanding its All Access programme.
