Pre-ordering an Xbox Series X at the moment will cost $499.99/£449.99/€499.99. For this, you’ll get the console itself, the controller and an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable. You can also get the smaller Xbox Series S for $299.99/£249.99/€299.99. There are no bundles available at time of writing.
That being said, one big initiative that’s available for new consoles is Xbox All Access. This monthly payment plan lasts for two years but gets you either console and 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This plan costs $34.99/£28.99/€34.99 for the Series X, and $24.99/£20.99/€24.99 for the Series S. Taken as a whole, this plan generally lowers the price involved by a small amount, assuming you were going to get Xbox Ultimate Game Pass either way. This plan is available at fewer retailers than the regular consoles, but Microsoft has said they will be bringing it to more countries and retailers in 2021.

Microsoft has announced that all the official Xbox One accessories will be compatible with the Series X and S, meaning that any controllers and hardware you have leftover should work on the new generation of consoles. There aren’t many new accessories announced at the moment, possibly for that reason, but we’ve listed those that are worth keeping an eye on, and we’ll be sure to update as we find out more. The Xbox Storage Expansion Card is likely the most important if you’re looking to add more room for Xbox Series X/S game installs on your console.

We’ve listed all the Xbox Series X/S games you can currently pre-order below. See anything that makes you particularly excited?

There’s no shortage of launch title games when the Series X and S hit shelves as well as a whole glut of games supposedly coming soon after – even if many are available on last-gen, too!
Halo Infinite looks to be a big seller on the Xbox (though it’s been delayed to 2021), and there’s a new Fable game in the works. Plus, some existing games will be making the jump to a new generation, like Marvel’s Avengers, Gears 5 and Devil May Cry 5. There’s also going to be thousands of backwards compatible games, and Xbox has announced the existence of their “Smart Delivery” system, in which certain games will transfer across from the Xbox One (though not all games will do this).
