Microsoft launches new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S variants

Microsoft has recently unveiled three new variants of the Xbox Series console, offering gamers more storage and design options to choose from.

The first new model is the Xbox Series X 2TB "Galaxy Black" special edition, which features a sleek black finish and a physical disc drive. This high-capacity version will retail for $599.99.

Additionally, Microsoft is introducing an Xbox Series X 1TB model in a "Robot White" finish. This disc-less console will be available for $449.99.

Rounding out the new lineup is a 1TB Xbox Series S in "Robot White", priced at $349.99. This more affordable next-gen option from Microsoft forgoes the disc drive but provides ample storage space.

According to the announcement, all three new Xbox variants will be available for pre-order starting today, August 21, 2024, with a global release scheduled for October 15. Certain regions may see a slightly later launch on October 29.

The introduction of these expanded storage options and color variants aims to provide consumers with more flexibility in choosing the Xbox Series X or S model that best suits their gaming needs and preferences.
