Xbox One Release Date - November 22nd 2013 Worldwide

By Christopher McGeorge /

We've waited a long time to officially see when we could get our hands on the Xbox One. Announced at E3 with a release window, the Xbox One has been a glint in many a Microsoft gamers eye since. Some amazing games were announced (not to mention that Halo trailer!) and Microsoft introduced the world to what a next generation console could really do. Gamescom 2013 only added to the hype but that elusive release date was still not revealed, despite Sony letting gamers know when they could firmly grasp a PS4 in the mitts. Well, it seems Microsoft was holding off, and now the release date has finally been revealed. The Xbox One will be releasing 22nd November 2013 in 13 territories across the world including US, Europe and AU. Those countries are UK, US, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The remaining markets would follow early into 2014. This release now beats out Sony's PS4 to the shelves by one whole week. The Xbox One is releasing in a FIFA 14 bundle in selected territories when you pre-order a console.
