Xbox Series X and S pre-orders confirmed to go live at 8AM on 22nd in the UK

UK and UK retailers will open pre-orders for Microsoft’s next-gen console. Unlike the US, the UK has a designated pre-order date for the next-gen Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

According to Samuel Bateman, marketing lead for Xbox UK, the pre-orders for Xbox Series X and S, will go live on the 22nd of September at 8 AM. He also posted a couple of Q&A regarding the pre-orders and how the payment-shipment works.

Some frequent Q&A

24 hours after the payment processes, the console will dispatch to the designated buyer. It feels lovely knowing that we’re getting closer to grasping one of the next-gen consoles in our hands.
