Microsoft’s Xbox has finally unveiled the details of its next-gen gaming console – the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Both models are marked to launch globally starting November 10 and pre-orders open starting September 22 for an RRP of US$ 499 (AU$ 749) and US$ 299 (AU$ 499), respectively. Now available in more countries, the Xbox All Access program bundles the Series X (starting at US$ 34.99) and Series S (starting at US 24.99) plus 24 months of the full Xbox Game Pass Ultimate experience.
Xbox has also partnered with Electronic Arts to make EA Play membership available at no extra fee to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC members starting this holiday. This membership provides access to EA Play on Android, Xbox One, Series X and Series S, and Windows 10 PCs. Users will have access to some of the best titles in EA’s gaming arsenal including FIFA 20, Need for Speed Heat, Skate and Sims.
When compared to the flagship, the company has scaled down on different areas including the CPU and I/O to make the Series S more affordable. However, it retains the faster load times and Quick Resume features as well as DirectX Raytracing, frame rates up to 120fps, HDMI 2.1 and Variable Rate Shading. There is also support for Spatial Sound including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.
