Microsoft was unable to keep secret the information about the price and premiere of its new consoles: the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. Several extremely credible journalists in the tech industry gained access to promotional materials for the equipment and shared this information with the world.
How much will the Xbox Series X and S cost?
According to the materials from the Microsoft presentation, in which known informants Brad Sams and Jez Corden (Windows Central) came into possession, the consoles will be priced as follows:
500 dollars – Xbox Series X (1833 PLN)
300 dollars – Xbox Series S (1129 PLN)
Approximate conversion into PLN according to the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland of September 8, 2020. It should be remembered that Polish (European in general) console prices are in practice higher by about 20-30%, so they will definitely not be the same on our market as from conversions. When the Xbox One X was launched, its price in Poland was about 18.39 percent higher. than in the USA.
Assuming that in Poland the Microsoft console would be more expensive than in the US in proportionally the same way as the Xbox One X in November 2017, the price of the Xbox Series X would be PLN 2,179.

It is worth mentioning that Sams and Corden have the highest level of reputation when it comes to leaks in the technology industry, and the information they provided, as a rule, always turned out to be true.
Xbox Series S as a console without a drive
Microsoft has chosen a slightly different tactic than Sony from PlayStation 5. The Xbox Series S model, which we learn for the first time now – is smaller and does not have a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive. It also has a completely different design. Its price is also much lower than the Xbox Series X.
This is because (according to all the information leaked so far), this console is much less powerful (with 4 TFLOPS theoretical computing power) – it has the same processor as the X model, but with a weaker graphics system and a little less RAM. However, the introduction of such a drastically cheaper model may have its advantages, especially for people with a less affluent wallet, or those who would like to have two consoles, but would rather not strain themselves so much.
When is the premiere of the Xbox Series X / S?
The final piece of Microsoft’s puzzle is the date of sale. We also got to know this information. This November 10, 2020a week before the premieres of Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Cold War and Assasssin’s Creed: Valhalla.
