Xbox Series X and Series S pre-orders are live: Here’s where they're available

Following Microsoft’s mic-drop acquisition of Bethesda, pre-orders have officially gone live for the Xbox Series X and Series S.

Much like Sony’s PlayStation 5, two versions of the console will be released - with the Series S acting as a downgraded, far cheaper alternative to the Xbox Series X.

Both the Xbox Series X and Series S will be released worldwide on 10th November, with the former priced at $499/£449 while the Series S comes in at $299/£249.

Those who want to pay off their console in monthly instalments can through Xbox All Access, which is available in the US from Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, Microsoft Store and Walmart.

Those in the UK are more restricted in their options for Xbox All Access, only offered through GAME and Smyths Toys.

With Xbox All Access, you’ll also be given 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so you’ll have a huge library of titles from the get-go - spanning Xbox Games Studios titles, EA Play and Bethesda.

So where can you buy a Xbox Series X or Series S? Here’s what you need to know.
