Following the launch of the newXbox One Sback in August, Microsoft’s gaming console enjoyed a lot of momentum in the US, withthe company claiming last week that December was “our biggest month ever.”If you have yet to make the jump to the slimmer and sleeker console, the Xbox team hasannouncedtoday the launch of two new Xbox One S bundles fearuring the critically-acclaimed open world racing gameForza Horizon 3as well as the upcoming RTS titleHalo Wars 2.

The Xbox One S Forza Horizon 3 1TB bundle is available to purchase today for $349.99 atmicrosoftstore.comand select U.S. retailers, but a$299 500GB bundleis also available to pre-order today with shipping to start on February 7. On this same date, the 500GB will also become available worldwide with pricing to vary by region. All bundles include a digital download code for Forza Horizon 3 plus a 14-day trial membership of Xbox Live Gold.

Unlike the Forza Horizon 3 bundle, theXbox One S Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition Bundlewill only be available with 1TB of storage. For $349, the bundle seems a bit more generous though as it includes Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition ($79.99 USD value), the game’s Season Pass, a digital download code for Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and a 14-day trial membership of Xbox Live Gold. This bundle is available to pre-order today on the US Microsoft for $349 and will start shipping on February 17, just five days before the worldwide release of theXbox Play Anywhere title. Last but not least, those of you who pre-order the bundle will get early access to Halo Wars 2 on February 17 as well as a Professor Anders Pack of Blitz cards for use in the game’s Blitz mode.
