A new Xbox Series S bundle includes three free months of Xbox Game Pass.
The holiday shopping season is basically here, and Microsoft is preparing for it with a new bundle for the Xbox Series S. The"Xbox Starter Bundle" comes packaged with a 512GB Xbox Series S console, as well as three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The bundle will be priced at $299, which translates to a value of about $50. That's not a bad savings, and the three months of service will give new Xbox owners access to all of the system's biggest exclusives.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate A subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives users access to all of Microsoft's first-party releases, including titles like Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, and Forza Motorsport. The smallest subscription tier, Game Pass Core, is required for online play, and that's included with Ultimate, as well. Users also get access to EA Play, which greatly increases the number of games available to subscribers.
Xbox Series S vs. Xbox Series XThe Xbox Series S launched in 2020 alongside the Xbox Series X console. Priced at $499, the Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful than the Series S, and it features a disc drive, which means it can play both digital and physical games. By contrast, Xbox Series S users are limited to purchasing games through the Microsoft Store, or playing them through Game Pass.
Two models of the Xbox Series S are currently available. Besides the 512GB version offered in the Xbox Starter Bundle, Xbox released a 1TB Carbon Black model back in September. That version of the system is priced at $349 and the extra $50 gets users a significant amount of extra space. However, at this time, Microsoft has not announced a Carbon Black bundle that includes the three free months of Xbox Game Pass.
