According to multiple reports online, the company is also expected to launch the more powerful Xbox Series X on 10 November, according to a report in Windows Central.

The Xbox Series X has already been showcased by the company, however the price is still awaited. It is expected that the Series X will be priced at $499 (roughly Rs 36,700). Microsoft had said that when released, Xbox Series X will be its "fastest, most powerful console ever."

It is expected that Microsoft's Xbox Series X, first teased in 2018, will give some competition to Sony's PlayStation 5 console which is arriving in this year's holiday season.

Prices for the new Sony PlayStation 5 series are expected to be announced in the coming days.

The Series S will target around 4 teraflops of GPU performance, compared to 12 in the Series X, The Verge had earlier reported.
