Xbox Series S to Get a Discount in India, Flipkart Teases Ahead of Official Launch

Xbox Series S price in India will be discounted to Rs. 29,999, Flipkart has teased through a dedicated section on its website. This will be Rs. 4,991 lower than the official price tag of the Xbox Series S that is set at Rs. 34,990. Interestingly, Microsoft India is currently taking pre-orders for the Xbox Series S at its original pricing, though Flipkart's new teaser hints at its discounted price. The Xbox Series S will launch alongside the Xbox Series X on November 10.

Flipkart has featured the Xbox Series S deal on a dedicated page highlighting various offers and discounts on gaming products during the Big Billion Days sale that will begin from October 16. The page shows that while the Xbox Series S with 512GB storage is currently up for pre-orders at Rs. 34,990, it will be available at the discounted price of Rs. 29,999 during the forthcoming festive sale.

Flipkart has listed the Xbox Series S at Rs. 29,999

There is no clarity on whether the listed discount on the Xbox Series S will be available through a bank offer or as part of a separate deal.

Having said that, Microsoft hasn't provided any details around the discount on its website and is still taking pre-orders for the new Xbox console at Rs. 34,990. Flipkart is also currently taking pre-orders at the original price.

The Xbox Series S is due for an official launch and is coming to the US at $299 (roughly Rs. 22,000). Alongside the Xbox Series S, Microsoft is launching the Xbox Series X as its latest gaming console with Blu-ray disc support.
