'This Week On Xbox' Brings Exciting Announcements From Major Nelson [Video]

Microsoft's "This Week On Xbox" series recently released its first episode for the new year, revealing bundles, deals and a new awesome game title that is soon to arrive in Windows 10.

First off is the announcement on the two bundles the company is set to release this month. The first bundle is the Xbox One Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege bundle which will include a 1 TB hard drive, one copy of Rainbow Six Siege, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas and Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. These games are reportedly playable due to their backward compatibility feature.

The second bundle is the Xbox One 500 GB Name Your Game bundle. In this bundle, players are given the chance to choose from four game options, including Forza Motorsport 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, and Rare Replay.

"That's a hard decision to make. Which game would you choose with your bundle?" said Larry Hyrb at Xbox Live Major Nelson.

Perhaps one of the biggest announcements is the upcoming release of Rise of the Tomb Raider on Windows 10. Hyrb said that the title will soon be available in both the Windows Store and Steam. PC gamers will be able to enjoy the critically-acclaimed adventure title beginning on Jan. 28, when new features such as Windows 10 support and 4K resolution are expected to be added.

"It will also be the first game ever to include cutting edge VXAO technology developed in partnership with Nvidia," said Hyrb.

Other announcements include the release of the Polo Red Ralph Lauren car pack for Forza Motorsport 6, the Gears of War: Pro League Season 1 Finals that fans can witness through Twitch, and the limited edition custom Gears of War Xbox One that the company is giving away as part of the celebration of the finals.

A number of exciting titles for the Xbox One was also revealed in the announcement. These include Garden Warfare 2, which will come in beta beginning on Jan. 14 up to Jan. 18, Hyper Void, Lovely Planet and more.

The latest "This Week On Xbox" episode is also available through the Community section of the Xbox One Experience dashboard in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada.
