Microsoft’s white Xbox Series X and 2TB special edition model launching in October

1 month ago

Microsoft is launching three new Xbox Series S / X console options in October. There’s the $449.99 white discless Xbox Series X, a 2TB “Galaxy Black” special edition Xbox Series X priced at $599.99, and a $349.99 1TB Xbox Series S. All three models will be available in the US on October 15th, with other markets to follow on October 29th.

The white coating on the exterior of this new discless Xbox Series X matches the “robot white” found on the Xbox Series S, Microsoft’s smaller $299 console. While leaks of the white Xbox Series X hinted that Microsoft may upgrade the heatsink used to cool the console, the company hasn’t detailed any hardware changes beyond the removal of the disc drive here.

Microsoft is now taking preorders for all three of these new Xbox console variants. Microsoft says these consoles “will be available in all current Xbox hardware supported regions and markets,” including a variety of countries across Europe.

All three consoles arrive in time for a busy holiday season for Xbox Game Pass. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is launching in October, followed by Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
