Microsoft announces the $299 Minecraft Favorites Xbox One S bundle

Microsoft has released a new Xbox One S bundle that will appeal to Minecraft players. The Minecraft Favorites Xbox One S bundle launches today in select countries and worldwide by this holiday season.

Since the launch of the Xbox One back in 2013, Microsoft has attempted to encourage sales by bundling in games when you buy a new Xbox One console. Even though the Xbox One S just launched, it is also getting bundled in with games like Halo 5: Guardians and the upcoming Battlefield 1. With Xbox One S bundles starting to become a regular occurrence it may come as no surprise that Microsoft is bundling another one of its best-selling franchises with the console.

Starting today in the United States and Canada, you can buy the Xbox One S Minecraft Favorites bundle. This bundle includes a 500GB Xbox One S along with several Minecraft goodies, which include:

  • Minecraft: Xbox One Edition Favorites Pack
  • Minecraft Builder’s Pack
  • Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta
  • 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial
  • Xbox Wireless Controller

The bundle will cost you $299, the entry-level price point for a new Xbox One S and is available via the Microsoft Store now. For those outside of the United States and Canada, Microsoft offered a timeline for the release of the Minecraft Favorites bundle in the following markets:

  • October 11, 2016: United Kingdom, Western Europe & Central Europe
  • November 1, 2016: Australia & New Zealand
  • Coming Soon: Asia & Latin America
