Xbox One Tour Hitting London Just in Time for Launch

Microsoft's Xbox One world tour is hitting the UK (well London, anyway) just before you'll be able to go out and buy one yourself.

The tour will be in London from the 21st to the 24th of November. The so-called Area One tour is crossing North America and Europe, with London being its final stop.

Microsoft's calling Area One stops 'parties', promising live music and an 18+ door policy.

Games on show include Forza 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Kinect Sports Rivals, Crimson Dragon, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, Zoo Tycoon and Minecraft.

Running alongside it will be Xbox One Test Drive, consisting of four trucks carting the console around 175 locations for gamers to give it a go. More on the locations here.
