All-Digital Xbox Series X, Other New Xbox Console Options to Launch in October
Microsoft has revealed the release date for the three new Xbox Series S/X console options unveiled earlier this year. The new variants, which include a 1TB Xbox Series S, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X and a special edition 2TB Xbox Series X, will launch on October 15, with select countries following on October 29, Microsoft announced Wednesday. The new console options, however, are not launching India for now. All three new Xbox Series S/X console options are now available to pre-order on the Xbox website.
The new Xbox Series S/X console options will be available in all current Xbox hardware supported regions and markets, but markets in India, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, and UAE are not supported yet, Microsoft confirmed in an Xbox Wire post. The new console options do not show up on the Xbox store in India. The company did not divulge any plans to bring the new consoles to these markets.
The three new console options include a 1TB SSD storage variant of Xbox Series S in Robot White colourway, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X, and a 2TB Xbox Series X Special Edition in Galaxy Black colour option. These were announced at the Xbox Games Showcase held in June.
The lower-end Xbox Series S, which does not come with a disc drive, was originally available with 512GB storage in a Robot White colourway. Microsoft introduced a 1TB storage variant of the console in Carbon Black colorway last year. The latest option brings 1TB SSD storage in Robot White. Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White is priced at $349.99/EUR 349.99 ERP.
The 1TB Xbox Series X Digital Edition ditches the disc drive to provide a lower-cost option for users who prefer the power of the higher-end Xbox console and purchase games mostly digitally. The all-digital console option comes in Robot White and is priced at $449.99/EUR 499.99 ERP, lower than the standard Series X, which comes in at $499.99.
