Last year we saw an Xbox Series S bundle release that was based around Fortnite and Rocket League that included some skins for the game as well as in-game currency for customers to use in their respective stores and it looks like it was a hit, as once again with the holiday period approaching Microsoft is treating us to another Xbox Series S Bundle.
This new Xbox Series S - Gilded Hunter Bundle, released on November 29th 2022, includes cosmetics and currency for Fortnite, Rocket League and Fall Guys, three of the most popular free-to-play titles currently available on the Xbox platform. The console in the bundle is still the standard Series S that we'd expect, with no different visuals on the console or controller itself however the cosmetics included this time are hyper-stylised with tonnes of contrasting golds and blacks on their designs. The Xbox Series S really is a powerhouse of a console for the price point and pairs extremely well as a value proposition with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
So let's break down exactly what you get in this bundle for each game on why it might be worth your money.
This new Xbox Series S bundle is priced at £249.99 which is the standard RRP of the Xbox Series S effectively meaning these bundled-in items you're getting are not making the console more expensive. But if you check our Xbox Series S deals page you will see you can find the Xbox Series S for less than this RRP and with Black Friday around the corner it may drop even further.
We will delve deeper into the specific cosmetics of each game a bit later but you will be receiving 1000 V-Bucks for Fortnite, 1000 Rocket League Credits and 1000 Show-Bucks for Fall Guys. So you're probably wondering what the monetary value of these currencies is. 1000 V-Bucks will cost you £6.49 directly from Xbox, 1000 Rocket League Credits is £7.50 from Xbox direct and 1000 Show-Bucks is £6.49 so this totals £20.48 of digital currency you're getting with this bundle, not too bad. This can be spent on in-game cosmetics or seasonal battle passes.
