Microsoft has announced today that Xbox One S with a US$50 discount is available starting tomorrow. Some of the titles include Halo Wars, Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, Battlefield 1, Minecraft, and more.
Ahead of the Project Scorpio unveiling at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017 in Los Angeles, California, Microsoft took Twitter earlier today to drop the good news, a US$50 price cut to the promising Xbox One S. The manufacturer, however, has clarified that the discount is not applicable across the shelves.
Summer's coming.
