Redbox is expanding its video game rental service by adding Xbox One and Playstation 4 games to its kiosks, according to a report by Variety.

Currently, Redbox only offers titles from last generation gaming consoles such as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The company hopes to capitalize on games releasing this upcoming holiday season such as "Star Wars: Battlefront."

"We feel that the time is right and the consumers are shifting rapidly to the new generation," Mark Horak, president of Redbox, said in an interview with Variety. "By stepping into new generation, we're also going to get consumers to play more games — by making these games available to them at a price point that doesn't require the full purchase of the game."

Redbox plans to have all its U.S. kiosks stocked with Playstation 4 and Xbox One games by the end of the year.
