Xbox One Release Date Announced

Update: Microsoft has announced the Xbox One will be available on November 22 in 13 territories, including North America and the UK.

The full list of territories that will be getting the console on this date consists of Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and the USA.

In addition, Xbox marketing executive Yusuf Mehdi has confirmed that an additional number of Xbox One Day One Editions have been made available for pre-order, meaning if you're a European looking to score a free copy of FIFA 14 you still can.

Mehdi also reiterated what we heard yesterday; that the console’s CPU has been boosted from 1.6 GHz to 1.75 GHz.

Fun fact: this is the same day that the Xbox 360 launched in North America back in 2005.

Original story follows.

Original story: The Xbox One release date could be announced today, if UK retailers are to be believed.

A number of GAME stores along with its Xbox specialist shop and ShopTo have all tweeted that Microsoft will announce the release date of its upcoming console later today.

We know for certain that the Xbox One is down to release in North America and Europe sometime in November, but exactly when is yet to be revealed. During its Gamescom press conference, Sony confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be available on November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe.

We're reached out to Microsoft to see if the rumours are true, so be sure to check back to IGN later to see if we've finally been put out of our misery.
