‘Battlefield 1’ gets some classy Xbox One S consoles for October release

Battlefield 1 releases on both current-gen consoles and PC next month, and if you still haven’t picked up a new machine yet, Microsoft has just the thing to get you leading bayonet charges and sniping unsuspecting soldiers in no time.

Available on October 21, the Xbox One S Battlefield 1 Bundle includes a white 500GB console as well as a code to download the digital version of the game. But you won’t be stuck just playing one game — also included is a month of EA Access, which grants you full access to games like Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Titanfall, and Battlefield 4. Your progress will be saved should you choose to extend your membership beyond the one-month trial.

United States residents can also purchase a “Storm Grey” package, which includes all the same contents as the white bundle but in a different color. Both bundles will retail for $299, and are available to pre-order right now.

If you’re willing to hand over a little more cash, you’ll want to consider the “Xbox One S Battlefield 1 Special Edition Bundle” instead. It contains a beautiful olive drab 1TB Xbox One S with a matching stand and controller, as well as the “Early Enlister Deluxe Edition” of Battlefield 1, which grants players access to the game a few days before its official release. To top it off, the bundle also includes three DLC packs, “new visual appearance” for the giant Behemoth vehicles, five Battlepacks, and a month of EA Access. It will launch on October 13 — a week before the game releases — for $350.

Should you buy any Battlefield 1 Xbox One S console bundle at GameStop, you’ll be given a physical copy of the game instead of a code. Battlefield 1 releases for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 21.

Diablo IV was released in June 2023, just a few months before Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

People have been wondering when Activision Blizzard games would arrive on Xbox Game Pass in the months since the acquisition process was completed, and Diablo IV was finally confirmed to be coming to the service on March 28 last month.

To kick things off, Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, addressed the multiplatform Xbox game rumors. "We made the decision that we’re going to take four games to the other consoles.
