Microsoft has officially taken the wraps of three new Xbox consoles. These include a digital-only Xbox Series X, a new 1TB Xbox Series S, and a special edition Xbox Series X with double the storage. All three consoles will go on sale later this year. Here is everything you should know.
New Xbox Series: Price, Availability
Microsoft has not revealed pre-order and launch details for the new Xbox Series X and S consoles yet. It said these details will be shared in the coming months. These consoles will launch during the holiday season this year. Here’s a look at the prices.
| Xbox Model | Price |
| Xbox Series X Digital edition | $449.99 (about Rs 37,571) |
| Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition (2TB) | $599.99 (about Rs 50,095) |
| Xbox Series S 1TB | $349.99 (about Rs 29,221) |
Xbox Series X Digital Edition
After tons of rumours and leaks, Microsoft has finally launched the digital-only Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series X Digital Edition has 1TB SSD storage for installing apps and games. It does not have a disc drive, so you cannot play physical games.
This new console is aimed at digital-first players who prefer buying games digitally over physically. The rest of the speed, performance, and features will remain like the Xbox Series X with a disc drive.
Xbox Series X 2TB Special Edition
The Xbox Series X is getting another variant called Special Edition. It has a unique design inspired by constellations and outer space. This is the reason its colour variant is officially called Galaxy Black. It “features a silver, grey, and green celestial effect representing thousands of games and millions of gamers playing on Xbox.”
There is a new matching Xbox wireless controller to go with the console. It has a Galaxy Black D-pad and a Velocity Green backcase. The special edition also has 2TB SSD storage, which is twice what you get with the standard edition. It means more space for installing your games, especially considering Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is arriving in October. It will be available for purchase in select markets and limited quantities.
Xbox Series S 1TB
The affordable Xbox Series S is now available in a new Robot White colour. It joins the already available Carbon Black colour from the last year. Another upgrade is in terms of storage space which has been doubled to 1TB.
All other features like Quick Resume and 120fps support remain unchanged. It will be sold in select markets.
