Microsoft announces 3 new Xbox Series S/X console variants, launching in Holiday 2024
Microsoft announced three new Xbox Series S/X console options during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. New configurations joining the Xbox lineup include a 1TB SSD storage variant of Xbox Series S in a Robot White colorway, an all-digital Xbox Series X, and a 2TB Xbox Series X Special Edition in a Galaxy Black colorway. The three new console variants will be available in select markets later this holiday season.
The Xbox parent company has yet to provide details on availability and regional pricing for the new Xbox Series S/X variants. “Stay tuned for updates in the coming months where we will provide information on market availability and regional estimated retail prices (ERP) when we share pre-order details,” Microsoft said.
The new console variants will have the same speed and performance as the current Xbox Series S/X models and will offer new design, storage and pricing options for users, Microsoft said. For example, the all-digital Xbox Series X will be less expensive than the standard Xbox Series X, which comes with a disc drive.
Xbox Series S – 1TB in Robot White
The Xbox Series S was originally available with 512GB of storage in a Robot White colorway. Last year, Microsoft launched the Xbox Series S with 1TB of storage in a new Carbon Black colorway. Now, the additional storage option is coming to the Robot White colorway. Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White will retail for $349.99 / EUR 349.99 ERP in select markets. The company has not yet confirmed Indian pricing and availability.

Xbox Series X – 1TB Digital Edition
Leaked court documents from last year’s Microsoft v. US FTC lawsuit claimed that the company was preparing a digital-only version of the Xbox Series X. Now, Microsoft has confirmed that an all-digital Xbox Series X is coming this year. The digital-only variant of the console will come with 1TB of SSD storage and will be available in the Robot White colorway (existing Series X models only come in Carbon Black). The new variant will cost $449.99/EUR 499.99 ERP, down from the $499.99 disc version of the Series X.

The Galaxy Black Special Edition Xbox Series X will be available in limited quantities in select markets for $599.99 / EUR 649.99 ERP.
