We are excited about the launch on September 23rd and look forward to welcoming our fans to a world of award winning games, making Xbox the best place to play this holiday and beyond. We will launch at least 50 games this holiday with 20 of them being exclusive to the Xbox platform which makes it the biggest console launch line up in Singapore,” said Rennie Addabbo, Xbox Sales and Marketing Director, Greater Asia Region.
To celebrate the launch of Xbox One in Singapore, Xbox is giving its fans the chance to win a trip of a lifetime. “Xbox High Flyers” will grant one lucky Singaporean fan alongside other fans across the Asia region to jet set across the globe for 10 days.
