Microsoft has been teasing the Xbox launch since quite some time now. And well, the day has arrived when the beast finally arrives. Today, Microsoft has finally launched the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
Xbox Series X is priced at $499 while the Xbox Series S is priced at $299. These will be available for pre-order from 22nd September. However, the final sales would start from November 10. For the price, Series X will come with 1TB storage while Series will only get 512GB. Both consoles will feature the same CPU. However, in terms of GPU, Series S will have a scaled down GPU than the Series X.
Microsoft Series X would be capable of playing games at 4K 120fps while the Series S would be capable of playing games at 1440p 120fps. However, it’s important to note that Series S is going to be digital-only model. So, if you’re still that person who uses physical drives, you will have to go for Series X.
Microsoft is offering Xbox All Access along with these consoles if you go for the monthly subscription. Xbox Series X will cost you $34.99 while the Series S will cost you $24.99 per month for 24 months. Note that this scheme is available only in the regions where Xbox All Access is available.
With Microsoft All Access, you’ll get the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as well as EA Play Membership. In total, this would give you over 150 titles to play on the console.
Overall, this looks like a great console with great pricing. And it got even better when Microsoft announced the Series S – the cheaper option for those who don’t want to spend a ton. These consoles are competing head-on with Sony PlayStation 5. We are still waiting to hear more details from Sony now.
