It is revealed that the launch next month for "Battlefield 1" will also come with special editions bundled with the recently-released Xbox One S console.

In the announcement by Xbox and Microsoft, it is showcased that at least two Xbox One S special bundles will be highlighted with the official full-version release of "Battlefield 1." Already live for pre-orders, players can purchase an Xbox One S 500 GB edition in White or the special edition Storm Grey, together with a standard edition, full download version of "Battlefield 1." The bundle also comes with one-month free subscription to EA Access.

The bundle is available for $299. However, it should be noted that the pre-orders will start to ship out in staggered release. Players in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will get the bundle starting Oct. 21, while Europe orders will start shipping out much earlier, on Oct. 13.

Aside from the standard 500-GB bundle, another "Battlefield 1" special edition pack with a 1-TB Xbox One S is also available for $349. Aside from the special edition military green console and the standard "Battlefield 1" download, the bundle also includes different bonus packs for players, like the Hellfighter Pack, Red Baron Pack, and Lawrence of Arabia Pack. There is also an additional five Battlepacks and a one-month subscription to EA Access.

The 1-TB bundle is available for Europe orders starting Oct. 13, and will ship out to the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand starting on Oct. 18.

"Battlefield 1" is coming out to the Xbox One, as well as the PlayStation 4 and PC on Oct. 21. Meanwhile, there is also an early access bundle that lets players access the game as early as Oct. 18. This is different from the early access granted to selected players on the game's open beta that ran from the end of August until Sept. 8.
