Rumor: Xbox One S 500GB and 1TB to launch in October in the UK.

UPDATE: Just confirmed at Gamescom! Xbox has announced FIFA 17 Xbox One S bundles in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S coming out September 22nd. It includes 500GB or 1TB hard drive.

Xbox One S launched this past Tuesday in a lot of regions. It’s smaller than the vanilla Xbox One – about 40%, more powerful, and it’s already sold out in the major retailers in the UK.  While both 500GB and 1TB are scheduled to arrive August 23rd in the US there is no word from Microsoft when it’s coming to the UK but Console Deals says it’s coming in October.

 It’s our understanding UK gamers can expect to see the 500GB and 1TB Xbox One S in the UK in October. Prices are expected to start at £249 for the 500GB and £299 for the 1TB. We’re also led to believe that the UK will see an Xbox One S 500GB bundled with FIFA 17 at launch. Gamers have been looking to get their hands on the Xbox One S ever since its announcement at E3, proven by the 2TB launch model selling out. The 500GB and 1TB capacities will be as eagerly received and will offer gamers who are looking to get the latest console a more affordable option.

Harvey Eagle, Marketing Director at Xbox UK has said the following: “We’re excited by the reaction from fans for the Xbox One S. It’s a great looking console, significantly smaller than the original Xbox One and the best way to play upcoming games including Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4. It’s also the first and only console to feature High Dynamic Range – enhancing the colour and picture – to support 4K video, stream 4K Ultra HD content from services like Netflix and play 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.”
