All in all, this means that an Xbox Series S, which now goes for a recently increased $379.99 price, and a year of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ($359.88) will cost a total of $739.87 in the US - about $10 less than the $749 PlayStation 5 Pro!

Battlefield 6 will skip performance modes on Xbox Series S. It will be limited to 1080p 60FPS due to memory constraints.

A game director at Square Enix says that Series S is a capable machine, even if it poses unique challenges due to its scaled-back 10GB of GDDR6 memory.

New Xbox Series X games will start arriving thick and fast once over the next few months, with new exclusives launching on Microsoft's most powerful consoles. There's certainly a lot to look forward to for Xbox fans.

According to the fan-run Battlefield Bulletin account, PlayStation 5 and PC owners will be able to pre-load Battlefield 6 on October 3. The game will launch on all three platforms on October 10, with the global rollout starting at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, which is also 4 PM BST.
