Microsoft has announced three new models of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles, and the company plans to release them all later this year. In total, there are two new models of the Xbox Series
One of those new models is the reportedly all-digital white version of the Xbox Series Those who wanted a fully digital console should go for the Xbox Series S. Not only did this mean less performance, it also meant less storage space, as the Xbox Series S initially came with a 512GB SSD, while the Xbox Series offered 1TB. Microsoft later released a 1TB Xbox series in Carbon Black. This of course also affected the price points. The Xbox Series X was significantly more expensive.
But things are changing. You can now get the Xbox Series X in a fully digital model in Robot White color. It still has 1TB of storage, but it comes at a new, lower price of $450. That said, Microsoft also reduces the price of the Carbon Black disc drive model to the same price. If you want to save money, the Xbox Series S with 1TB of storage will cost you $350. You can also get it in Carbon Black or Robot White.
The Xbox Series X comes in a new limited edition Galaxy Black model with 2TB of storage
1TB of storage space quickly fills up with games these days. For example, Starfield is about 135 GB. And Call of Duty has consistently been one of the bigger games in recent years. Black Ops 6 is definitely going to be a huge game. With the expansion cards it is possible to add more storage space to your console. However, it's still nice to have as much internal storage as possible. To that end, Microsoft has confirmed a new Galaxy Black model of the Xbox Series X that will come with 2TB of internal storage. It also still has a disk drive and support for expansion cards if 2TB isn't enough.
It will also cost quite a bit more money. When the new console comes out, it will set customers back $600. Keep in mind that you don't just get more internal storage space. You also get a limited edition color.
Microsoft doesn't mention anything about limited quantities. But it's usually safer to assume that a ton won't be made and make the purchase as quickly as possible.
All three new models will be released this holiday
It'll be a while before you can get your hands on one of these new Xbox models, as Microsoft plans to launch them for Xbox holiday season 2024. So expect them to release sometime around October or November. There's no official date yet, but Microsoft will undoubtedly share additional information closer to launch.
Microsoft also says pre-orders coming soon and to check back “in the coming months” for more details.
