This Is The First Discount the 4K Console Has Had In Its Life Cycle
The Xbox One X, an upgrade console with 4K definition capability, is getting a big $50 discount later this week on Thursday, announced Xbox Wire on Monday.
The discount is part of a larger sale for many Xbox One products including games (exclusives & multiplatform), accessories and Xbox Live & Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. There will also be a $50 discount on any other Xbox One console.
The Xbox One X discount will be available on the Microsoft Store and on the websites of other participating retailers. The discount is expected to last from June 7th to June 23rd.
Here’s a list with just some of the sale offers:
- $199 for 500GB Xbox One S console
- $249 for 1TB Xbox One S bundles
- $449 for Xbox One X console – the first time it’s ever been discounted
- Up to 75% off select games including first-time discounts on newly released titles such as Monster Hunter: World, Sea of Thieves and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
- One month of Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass for $1
- $10 off controllers
The Xbox One X is usually priced at $499 so this discount is pretty significant!
This massive sale has been officially described as an E3 sale and Microsoft clearly wants to drum up some excitement for their big conference next week. It’s currently not known what other games they’ll actually be showing aside from possibly more Crackdown 3 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
Back in early May though, a Walmart webpage appeared to have leaked the existence of a Gears of War sequel.
The Microsoft E3 2018 conference is scheduled for June 10th at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET/9 PM BST.
