Holiday shopping season is creeping up, and Microsoft has something for the gamer in your life.
The company just unveiled a new Xbox One 1TB holiday bundle slated for arrival on Oct. 27. The $399 bundle features the 1TB Xbox One console, a wireless controller with 3.5mm headset jack, and three games: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Rare Replay, and a full-game download of the action-platformer Ori and the Blind Forest.
"With 1TB of storage, you can play and store more games than ever, including your Xbox 360 favorites thanks to Xbox One Backward Compatibility," Redmond wrote in a Tuesday Xbox Wire post.
The bundle includes the original Gears of War rebuilt in 1080p, including 60fps competitive multiplayer with 19 maps and six game modes as well as five campaign chapters never released on a console. You'll also get access to the entire Xbox 360 Gears of War collection on your Xbox One, thanks to the backward compatibility feature announced at E3, at no extra cost when you play the Ultimate Edition on Xbox Live by Dec. 31. That includes Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, and Gears of War: Judgment.
Rare Replay, meanwhile, features a "jaw-dropping collection of 30 iconic games" from Rare, including Battletoads, Banjo-Kazooie, and Perfect Dark.
The Xbox One 1TB holiday bundle is available for pre-order now at the Microsoft Store.
If you're not into Gears of War, Microsoft has several other bundles you might be interested in. That includes the Xbox One The Lego Movie Videogame bundle, which will go on sale next month for $349, featuring an 500GB console and a copy of the game. Then launching in November will be a Rise of the Tomb Raider Bundle for $399 featuring a 1TB console plus a digital download of the game, the Tactical Survival Kit Content Pack, and a download of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.
Microsoft has dubbed this a "week full of bundles" so expect more in the coming days.
