Xbox Series X fans in the UK now know the exact date and time that they can pre-order their next generation console thanks to a tweet from Samuel Bateman, the Marketing Lead of Xbox UK. Pre-orders for the Xbox Series S and its much heavier cousin will go live on September 22nd starting at 8AM British Standard Time.
The Xbox Series X is fast approaching its November 10th release date, and it’s only a matter of time before players are finally able to experience the full glory of next generation gaming. With pre-orders opening up on the 22nd available to everyone, onlookers may get a glimpse of how well the Xbox Series X will perform.
The pre-orders are currently only available from specific retailers, and the Xbox All Access payment method is restricted to an even more limited list, but both sets are expected to expand in the future. Bateman lists out everything fans need to know in impressive detail below.
Players will need to register their pre-orders with one of the following stores: Microsoft Store, Amazon, GAME, Argos, Currys PC World, Smyths Toys, John Lewis & Partners, AO.com, or Very.co.uk. At the moment, these are the only UK retailers offering pre-orders to players in this region, but that may change in the future. The price of the Xbox Series X and the Series S is relatively low, as they will be available for £449 and £249 respectively, but players do have an option to pay a monthly fee to own the consoles instead via Xbox All Access.
Bateman elaborates further in a comment answering some frequently asked questions. For starters, those wanting to purchase either console through Xbox All Access will need to go through GAME or Smyths toys for now, as those are the only locations offering that service. He also makes it clear that this list isn’t representative of every single retailer offering pre-orders, just the major retailers in the UK region. Finally, those that purchase through the Microsoft store will need to pay for the console a day before it is shipped out to them, but other stores will handle pre-order payment at their own discretion.
Bateman didn’t have anything to say about when pre-orders would go live for other regions, instead directing those questions to the applicable Twitter accounts. With the date fast approaching, though, more information is sure to come soon that reveals when other players will be able to pre-order the upcoming Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
The Xbox Series X releases on November 10th.
