This price range matches with a speculative report published by a tech portal Windows Central on Monday. The portal had credited sources to confirm that Microsoft will be releasing the Xbox Series S for $299 at retail, with the Xbox All Access pass available at $25 per month. The company is reportedly planning a big global roll out.
Moreover, the report said that the Xbox Series X will go on sale for $499 with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option. Both consoles will be launched on 10 November, 2020. It also pointed out how the pricing of the next gen devices puts them “firmly in-line with the Xbox One S and Xbox One X”. Sony will be also mindful about the price for Xbox Series X when setting a cost for its upcoming PlayStation 5.
