Xbox Series X Will Launch On November 10 Worldwide, And It Will Cost $499
/ Carlos Hernandez
Microsoft has officially announced that the Xbox Series X will cost $499 (~PHP 24,000) and that it will be available worldwide beginning November 10.
Looking to be the first batch to own the next Xbox console? The option to pre-order will be available starting September 22.
Microsoft also announced that the financing service plan Xbox All Access will be available for Xbox Series X and Series S. For 24 monthly payments of $34.99, you get the Xbox Series X, a subscription to Xbox Live Gold, and access to Xbox Game Pass. For the financing plan on the Xbox Series S, the offer is the same but you instead will have to pay $25 a month instead.
There’s no word if the financing service plan will be available to the Philippines or any other Southeast Asia countries.
This comes after the Xbox Series S was revealed and was given a price tag of $299. This version of the next-gen Xbox is less powerful compared to the Series X and will also be available worldwide on November 10.
So far, I’ve been loving my new console. It truly feels like a generational leap from the original Switch, even if its core concept remains the same. This may be simply an iterative, straightforward improvement over the original system, but I guess the thinking is that as the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
