Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox One console will launch on 22 November 2013 across the 13 initial launch territories.

This includes the UK, Ireland, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand.

Microsoft also clarified that only Xbox One Day 1 pre-orders would receive FIFA 14, and only in the regions which offer the special.

South Africa hasn’t received details on its Xbox One pre-order options as of yet; however, MyGaming has contacted Microsoft SA on the matter, and South African gamers will get their own incentive when the console launches in SA in 2014.

Microsoft also recently revealed that the Xbox One has received an overclock on the CPU. This follows news that the Xbox One GPU was receiving an overclock boost.

Microsoft’s Xbox One is on track to launch in thirteen countries around the world and will be debuting at a price of $499 in the US and Canada.
