Microsoft has revealed the release date of its new Xbox consoles and the price of the flagship model.
the Xbox Series S previously announced, the smallest Xbox to date, will go on sale worldwide on November 10 for £ 249 ($ 299).
The premium version, the X series, it will ship the same day for £ 449 ($ 499).
Pre-orders for both begin on September 22.
It said customers in 12 countries, including the UK, US, Australia and South Korea, could pay for consoles and a game pass through a monthly plan starting at $ 24.99 for two years.
The Xbox Series S will not have a disc drive, and will rely on users to download and stream games, while the larger Series X will keep it.
Microsoft said the S Series “would deliver everything that is critical to next-generation gaming: faster load times, higher frame rates, and richer, more dynamic worlds.”
As for the specs, it lists frame rates up to 120fps, DirectX Raytracing, and Variable Rate Shading.
The S Series will also support Spatial Sound, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision through streaming apps like Disney + and Netflix.
The main difference between the two versions is the graphics resolution, as the S Series graphics processing unit is not as powerful as the X Series.
But Microsoft bosses say it’s still three times more powerful than the Xbox One, according to The Verge.
The company promises “thousands of games to play,” spanning four generations, when the new consoles launch, but the Halo Infinite marquee launch game has been delayed until 2021.
Rival Sony also plans to launch two models of its next-generation console, the Playstation 5, at the end of 2020, but so far no date or price has been revealed.
