Out of all the next-gen games I’ve played this year, Forza Horizon is hands down one of the best looking and best optimised. So it’s nice that there’s an appropriate Xbox One X bundle, but it’s not the only good bundle available.
The Microsoft Store is offering a range of Xbox One X bundles. The bundles actually come with six games each once you read the full description, but all of the Xbox One X offerings are available from $549.
What you want depends on what game is worth the most to you. For the Forza Horizon 4 offering, you get:
• Xbox One X Robot White Special Edition 1TB console
• Xbox Wireless Controller
• Full-game download of Forza Horizon 4
• Full-game download of Forza Motorsport 7
• PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (Download)
• Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Download)
• Halo 5: Guardians (Download)
• Bonus Gears of War 4 (Digital Code)
• Xbox One Digital TV Tuner
• 1-month Xbox Game Pass trial
Which isn’t too bad. I’d still love to see Microsoft do these deals with just Forza or Forza Horizon – in my experience most people play one or the other. But bundling Forza games and Halo together is a good mix.
There’s a Fallout 76 white Xbox One X bundle as well, although you’re trading both Forza games for Fallout 76 there.
The Battlefield V pack is the next best value, complete with:
• Xbox One X 1TB Console
• Xbox Wireless Controller
• Full-game download of Battlefield™ V Deluxe Edition
• Full-game download of Battlefield™ 1943 and Battlefield
• PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS – Game Preview Edition (Download)
• Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Download)
• Halo 5: Guardians (Download)
• Bonus Gears of War 4 (Digital Code)
• Xbox One Digital TV Tuner
• 1-month EA Access
• 14 day Xbox Live Gold membership
• 1-month Xbox Game Pass
The page doesn’t actually say if the extra Battlefield game next to Battlefield 1943 is Battlefield 1. I highly doubt that it is, although it’s worth noting the month of EA Access means you’ll be able to play that, anyway, along with the FIFA games and plenty else.
You can see the full list of Xbox One X and Xbox One S console bundles on the Microsoft Store. Delivery is free, and anything bought between now and New Year’s Eve can be returned until the end of January next year, which is nice.
