Microsoft announces three new Xbox console variants
Microsoft announced three new variants of its current generation Xbox consoles during its Xbox Games Showcase 2024 event. This includes two new Series X models and a new Series S variant.
The first is the Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition. This is simply the existing Series X with 2TB of storage instead of usual 1TB. The console features a speckled pattern with silver, gray, and green spots with a bright green base. The controller also gets green back and a speckled D-pad. This variant will retail for $600 and will be available in limited quantities in select markets.
Next is the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition. This is a variant of the existing Series X but without the optical drive, which means you can only access games and movies digitally. It comes in white and will be available in select markets for $450.
Finally, Microsoft announced a variant of the black 1TB Series S, which was announced almost exactly a year ago. The only difference is that this model comes in white but is otherwise identical to the other version, and will be available for the same $350 price. Microsoft says the black model can be purchased while supplies last, which suggests it has been discontinued.
The new models will arrive during the holiday season.
