The flagship Xbox Series X is arriving on November 10, and will carry a retail price tag of $499, Microsoft confirmed on Wednesday. The console will also be available for pre-orders beginning on September 22. Alongside the Xbox Series X console, Microsoft is also going to be selling a less powerful, but still next-gen, Xbox Series S console, which will have a $299 price tag, and also release on November 10 with pre-orders on September 22.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s higher-end successor to the Xbox One, and it includes a range of very impressive hardware specs including an 8-core custom CPU, a GPU with 12 teraflops of processing power, a 1 TB NVMe SSD for super fast load and transfer speeds, and support for up to 4K resolution at both 60 and 120 FPS. The Series S is its lower-powered sibling, taking out the physical disc drive and offering lower specs including support for only up to 1440p resolution at 60fps, along with a smaller 512GB NVMe SSD. Microsoft is clearly hoping to appeal to both budget and premium gamers with its new generation of consoles.
