Xbox Will Release Three New Models This Year
Summer is the season for new game announcements, but along with the new Doom and the next Call of Duty, Sunday’s Xbox Games Showcase also revealed some new Xbox consoles .
It’s not exactly a new generation of consoles, or even a mid-generation upgrade like the rumored PS5 Pro . Instead, Xbox is denying its own rumors, especially about the discless Xbox Series X.
Ahead of “Holidays 2024”, the all-digital Xbox Series X console will have an all-white finish (as opposed to the original model’s black) and will have all the same specs as the original Xbox Series X , including 1TB storage. drive. It will cost $449, which is a $50 discount on the current model and the same price as the competing all-digital PS5.
For those who instead want to upgrade their Xbox Series X, a new “special edition” Xbox Series X is also in the works. Performance will remain unchanged, but storage will increase to 2TB and the console will feature a “Galaxy Black” design, which, essentially means that it will be decorated with dozens of small stars. The system will launch this holiday in unspecified “limited quantities” for $599.
The 1TB Xbox Series S , which costs $349 ($50 more than the 512GB version), will also get a new white color option. Previously it was only available in black. This is also planned for the 2024 holidays.
That’s all. There’s little reason for people who already own an Xbox to upgrade to one of these new models, but for those just now entering the ecosystem, you’ll soon have plenty of additional color and capacity options.
Current Xbox models
Until now, Xbox has used a white color scheme exclusively on the Xbox Series S, with black reserved for the 1TB Series X and Series S. Below is a list of all current Xbox Series S and Series X models.
