Report: Xbox Series X Set To Be Priced At $499 In Conjunction With Recent Xbox Series S Learnings

Among the current chatter that has been centered around the entry-leveled Xbox Series S, new information looks to also be spared for the definitive next-generation console, Xbox Series X. For those who need catching up, there happened to be a handful of leaks which illustrated the design for the all-digital unit alongside pricing for the system to be $299. And the noise did not last long without Microsoft’s input as the firm later verified the alleged details to be legitimate.

In the midst of the continued reporting of the newly unveiled Xbox Series S, it was Windows Central that disclosed the price for the console accurately as well prior to Microsoft’s statement. Even more, the publication also went to spare the pricing for the Xbox Series X also. In that, it was told that the beefier system can be found with a $499 price tag.

“The more powerful Xbox Series X will cost $499, with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option,” Windows Central discloses.

It was this past October that Microsoft announced that its Xbox All Access program – a monthly payment plan offering your console of choice with Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass – that it would be supporting the then-titled Project Scarlett. But now, we now understand what the pricing will be for the unit. Windows Central also discloses that the program will also be put into effect for the Xbox Series S also asking for a $25 monthly fee.

Reflecting on the preceding Xbox One S & Xbox One X to the next-generation in price, there looks to be a similar price gap between the power console with the entertainment system for both pairs. That goes to draw the question for how Sony will price its two units which will certainly be interesting for PlayStation 5. But while the Xbox Series S is told to offer a third of its architectural identity to the Xbox Series X, the same cannot be said for the PlayStation 5. It is presumed the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition only discards the disc drive currently.

Previously, it was reported that the Xbox Series X could be priced at $549 thanks to crunching some numbers from Halo Infinite’s advertisement campaign with Monster Energy. Howbeit, it was only a projection of what the system might cost and ultimately Microsoft seems to be selling the Xbox Series X at a loss to meet its $499 price tag.

Are you fine with the Xbox Series X’s new reported price?

Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are both told to ship sometime in November 2020.
