Microsoft has started taking pre-orders for its Xbox One S gaming console in India. It was introduced back in 2016 and is 40% smaller than the original Xbox One. It can be placed horizontally or vertically with an optional stand, supports 4K video streaming and also offers High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for video and gaming for richer and more luminous colors in games.
It also comes with a newly designed Xbox Wireless Controller that features a textured grip for enhanced comfort. Microsoft says that it has improved the Xbox Wireless signal performance to offer a more reliable wireless connection to the console and up to twice the wireless range when used with Xbox One S.
The Microsoft Xbox One S is priced at Rs. 29,990 for the 500GB version and the 1TB version costs Rs. 34,990. It is available for pre-order from Amazon.in, Flipkart and select retail partners and will ship from October 5th. Those who pre-order it will get Gears of War 4, and Battlefield 1.
