Microsoft is wishing you a very Lara Croft Christmas.

The Xbox One maker announced a new bundle for the console that comes with a digital copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider. It also includes the definitive version of its predecessor, Tomb Raider, and a 1TB hard drive. The bundle comes out on November 3 and costs $400. This could help Microsoft sell Xbox Ones during the lucrative holiday season, especially as it contains a game that the competing PlayStation 4 won’t have until next year. Bundles like this can make all the difference in the holiday console war.

That release date is actually a week earlier than the actual game’s, which comes out on November 10. It’s possible that the digital copy included in the bundle won’t unlock until then [updated: Microsoft confirmed that this is the case].

Rise of the Tomb Raider hits the Xbox One first in a deal that Microsoft made to help strengthen its software lineup. PC and PlayStation 4 releases won’t come until next year.
