Microsoft had been teasing the Xbox Series X for months, calling it the world’s most powerful console. It recently, however, decided to confirm all there is to know about not just the Xbox Series X but also the all-digital Xbox Series S. Yesterday, out of the blue, it surprised everyone by confirming the launch date and prices for both of the upcoming consoles in the US. And now, it has also confirmed the same for India.
Alongside the two consoles, Microsoft wants to make it possible for any and all to own its next-gen console. Thus, it has launched Xbox All Access to provide gamers with an Xbox Series X or Series S (their choice) along with 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate. This means you will not only have a new console for as low as $24.99 a month but also access to over 100 titles on your console, PC, and even your smartphone or tablet (via cloud gaming). The company is also bundling an EA Play membership for no added cost.
While this sounds like a steal, the Xbox All Access service will only be available in 12-odd countries during the holidays. India is not on the list at the moment. This means you will have to pay the full cost upfront and Rs. 999 a month for Game Pass Ultimate in India.
