A more powerful Xbox? Nope. A portable, handheld Xbox? Nope. During today’s Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft did announce new hardware, but it will be variants of the existing Xbox Series X|S lineup. Available this holiday season are the Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White, Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition in Robot White, and Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition. All three consoles feature the same speed and performance as the current offerings.
The Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White is a follow-up to last year’s Xbox Series S 1TB in Carbon Black. It’s the same console, just in a different shade, and it will be available in select markets for $349.99/€349.99. The Xbox Series X finally goes all-digital with the 1TB Robot White model, priced at $449.99/€499.99. Lastly, the Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition offers twice the storage of the current Xbox Series X, along with a unique exterior finish. The Galaxy Black features a silver, grey, and green celestial effect that Microsoft says represents thousands of games and millions of gamers playing on Xbox. This console will be available in limited quantities in select markets for $599.99/€649.99.
Pre-orders for all three consoles will be announced in the coming months.
Unless one of these three consoles really speaks to you, you’re better off taking advantage of the current $399.99 deal on the Xbox Series X 1TB.
