Xbox Launches New Xbox Series S Starter Bundle

Xbox has launched a new starter bundle in case you haven’t made the jump into the latest generation. Granted, we’d refrain from firmly calling the Series S a “current-gen” console, just like Remedy Entertainment’s Thomas Puha.

A bundle is always a pleasant thing when it comes to console launches and mid-gen refreshes or to just get more eyes on the console, but this just is about as barebones as you can get. As noted by Pure Xbox, this bundle is a standard Series S complete with three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

While Microsoft is launching a new starter bundle, Sony’s going through a pseudo-mid-gen refresh with the PS5 Slim, boosting its base SSD storage, and form factor. But hey, at least the bundle is only $299.99.

Read the official description of the new starter bundle.

“Easily jump into the world of gaming on Xbox with the Xbox Series S Starter Bundle. Whether you are embarking on your first gaming journey, looking for the perfect gift, or upgrading to a next-gen console, we’ve got you covered. This bundle includes everything you need to play right out of the box with the next-gen speed and performance of Xbox Series S and access to hundreds of games with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a $50 value.”
