The Xbox One release date and price are official
Microsoft has narrowed down the launch period for its next-generation gamers, confirming that an Xbox One release date will be held in November with the a £429 price tag.
Having officially unveiled the Xbox One at a designated launch event last month, Microsoft today confirmed the Xbox One release date and price, stating the console will land in 21 markets globally this November. An Xbox One UK price has been set at £429.
Revealing that the eagerly awaited console will cost $499 in the US and 499 Euros on the continent, Microsoft has set the Xbox One UK price at £429, someway in the middle of the multiple rumoured console price tags which ranged from £250 to £600.
While £429 seems like a moderately reasonable Xbox One price, it is currently unclear how the Xbox 360 follow-on will stand up next to its closest rival, with a PS4 price expected to be confirmed in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Making the Xbox One release date and price announcement, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick stated: “This is an exciting day for our teams.”
With Xbox One pre-order having kicked off a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft has revealed those looking to snap-up the next-gen console can secure their edition of the first batch releases from today.
Although a November Xbox One release date has been confirmed, Microsoft has failed to offer a more precise launch period. Again, a PS4 release date announcement is expected in the coming hours.
