In June 2014, it was announced that the Xbox One would start shipping without the Kinect sensor in a new package retailing for $399 USD (£349 GBP).

===''Halo 5: Guardians'' limited edition console===
==''Halo'' media available for Xbox One==
As with the [[Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360]] before it, a limited edition ''Halo 5: Guardians'' Xbox One console bundle was made available for sale for US$499 at release.
 
The bundle features a 1TB custom console and controller inspired by [[Jameson Locke]]'s armor. Like the ''Halo 4'' limited edition Xbox 360, the console features unique sound effects which play when turning on, turning off, and ejecting a disc. Unlike previous limited edition consoles which included only basic versions of their respective games, the ''Halo 5: Guardians'' console includes all the contents of the [[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|''Halo 5: Guardians'' Limited Edition]]. Also included is the unique [[FOTUS-class Mjolnir]] armor and multiplayer emblem. The Spartan Locke controller is also available for individual purchase which also includes the Resolute visor REQ pack (something conspicuously absent from the console bundle). An additional Master Chief-inspired controller is also available, which includes the Dauntless visor REQ pack.


For the first time, the limited edition console and controllers were released one week prior to the game itself (October 20, 2015) thus allowing players to set up their consoles and download ''Halo 5: Guardians'' in time to play the game as soon as it launched on October 27, 2015.
