At the Xbox Games Showcase in June, Microsoft announced three new versions of the Xbox Series game console. Some being available in fully digital formats and others equipped with a disc drive, these newcomers to the Xbox family will offer a wider range of choices for users. They are now available for pre-order and will be launched on October 15. The Xbox Series X 2TB – Galaxy Black Edition is a Best Buy Canada exclusive!
Xbox Series S 1TB Console
A black version of the Xbox Series S console with a 1TB SSD was released in 2023. This time, Microsoft is back with a white version. Now, gamers will be able to enjoy this small-format console with twice as much storage as its initial 512 GB version. Today’s games are getting increasingly bulky. A 1TB internal hard drive is therefore hardly a luxury for an all-digital console.
This is often referred to as a budget option among existing Xbox Series consoles. However, when it comes to playing current-generation games, this console holds its own among Microsoft’s high-end consoles. From experience, the Xbox Series S is perfect as a second console or for those who don’t own a 4K TV. It boasts a maximum resolution of 1440p, which is more than enough for a 1080p TV or a computer screen.
Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Console – Robot White
This is the first fully digital Xbox Series X model. In other words, it has no built-in disc drive. It’s also the first from this model to be offered in white. Knowing that Microsoft designs sleek consoles, I like the fact that they can blend in with our home decor.
A growing number of gamers are taking advantage of the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. This makes physical games less appealing to them. Having a main console with 1TB of storage capacity without a disk drive is therefore an interesting option. This also explains its slightly lower cost compared to other Xbox Series X versions currently on the market.
Xbox Series X 2TB Console – Galaxy Black – Exclusive Retail Partner
This 2TB Xbox Series X stands out from the rest not only for its larger internal hard drive, but also for its looks. The Galaxy Black finish sets it apart from the rest, and I love it. It’s like seeing a thousand stars twinkling in a dark sky. The base is Velocity Green, as is the back of the joystick. Otherwise, it offers the same high-performance features as the entire Xbox Series X range.
For this one, Microsoft has chosen to keep the disc drive. What we have here is a massive, versatile console for the most seasoned gamers. No doubt it will attract collectors and those who naturally shift from physical to digital video game purchases.
This console is exclusive to Best Buy Canada.
Three new Xbox models available on October 15
These new models of the Xbox Series game console offer greater choice to gamers shopping for a new game console. Depending on your style, Microsoft has a console model to suit every player. The three editions presented here allow you to play the latest titles, thanks to the performance achieved by the machines. And with enough storage space to install them as you please.
