Microsoft has released three new Xbox consoles, diversifying its Series X|S family with updates that offer more storage and aesthetic options. The updated consoles are designed to appeal to both budget-conscious gamers and those looking for a premium experience.
Digital-Only Xbox Series X in White
First on the list is the Xbox Series X without a disc drive, now available in white. This model provides all the processing power of the regular Series X, but for players who prefer to download their games rather than using physical media. The sleek digital-only version comes with a 1TB SSD and is priced at $449, shaving $50 off the cost of the standard Series X. This version still supports up to 4K resolution, making it a solid option for gamers who want top-tier performance without the need for physical discs.
New Xbox Series S Boosts Storage Capacity
Another addition is a revamped Xbox Series S, which now includes a 1TB storage upgrade. The compact design remains the same, but the additional space should reduce the need to constantly manage storage. Priced at $349, this version costs slightly more than the original Series S but offers double the space. The Series S continues to be the go-to console for gamers who don’t need the full power of the Series X but still want quick load times and decent graphics performance. It’s a good pick for those looking for a more affordable entry into the Xbox ecosystem.
Special Edition Series X Adds 2TB Storage and Galaxy Black Finish
Perhaps the most visually striking of the new releases is the Galaxy Black Special Edition of the Xbox Series X. Not only does it feature a new space-inspired design, but it also upgrades the internal storage to 2TB. This is a standout option for players with large digital libraries or those who need extra storage for high-end games. At $599, it’s the most expensive of the new models, but it’s also aimed at the serious gamer who values performance and storage. The finish is decorated with subtle space-themed accents, giving it a unique look compared to the standard black model.
Accessories to Enhance Your Experience
Microsoft is also focusing on customization with its range of Xbox accessories. Players can design their own controllers using the Xbox Design Lab, or choose from upcoming console wraps that will be compatible with the new Series X models. There are hints of more accessories tied to upcoming game releases, adding more ways for players to personalize their gaming setup.
Games to Watch Out For in 2024
As new consoles hit the market, Microsoft is also rolling out major game titles that make upgrading to one of these new models even more attractive. Upcoming releases like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II and Avowed are set to showcase the capabilities of the new consoles. These games, along with others like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, will be available through Xbox Game Pass, giving players immediate access to the latest titles as part of their subscription.
