The release of Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 was the highlight of last year. True, there were several games that broke many records. But the new consoles with improved hardware brought a lot of happiness to everyone locked at home because of the ongoing pandemic.

The console goes live for sale on January 8, but the shipping will probably not start until late spring. Keep checking the website for updates on your order if you’re able to bag one of the limited edition consoles.
