PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – when did they launch and how much do they cost?
Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and its smaller, cheaper sibling, the Series S, on November 10.
The release date covered the UK, US, Australia and a bunch of other countries worldwide.
The disc-free Series S costs £249/$299, while the Xbox Series X comes in at £449/$499.
So how does that compare to the new Xbox’s biggest rival, the PlayStation 5?
The PS5 launch fell on November 12, but not everywhere.
That date only stood for the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
UK gamers had to wait until November 19 to order one of the consoles.
The PS5 proper costs £449.99/$499.99, while the digital edition comes in at £359/$399.
Ultimate is the top tier of Xbox’s Game Pass options – available to Xbox One, Series X-gen consoles owners and PC gamers.
Where Ultimate stands apart from the regular Game Pass though, is its inclusion of Xbox Live Gold – worth £6.99 a month on its own.
Xbox Live Gold is required for multiplayer gaming on Xbox, but it also includes specific discounts and access to monthly free games.
Game Pass Ultimate definitely provides maximum options for gamers wanting access to new titles and additional content.
