Microsoft kicked off the next generation gaming at Gamescom last month. The Xbox One X Scorpio Edition was a limited edition version of the new console that experienced record-setting sales numbers in the first five days. The Scorpio Edition was the fastest-selling Xbox pre-order ever, according to Microsoft.
But don’t worry if you didn’t manage to get your hands on one of those yet, the standard edition of the “most powerful console ever” is going up for sale today at $499.99.
If you are looking for how to pre-order the Xbox One X, look no further. It is a good idea to bookmark your favorite listing ahead of time. It might even be smart to keep a couple options open. We are expecting to see listings go live today at around 1pm, but be sure to check back regularly in case anything pops off early.
