We might not see a Nintendo Switch 2 in stores anytime soon, but Microsoft is ready to sell you new Xbox Series X and Series S consoles this year. The company made three Xbox versions available for preorder on Wednesday, while also announcing release dates for various markets.
The new Xbox variants include additional color options and, more importantly, more storage. But it’s unclear what other improvements the new consoles have to offer.
Microsoft quietly made three new consoles available for preorder, priced from $349.99 to $599.99. They join the existing Xbox Series S and Series X models available in Microsoft’s lineup.
The 1TB Xbox Series S is available for $349.99, $50 more expensive than the current Series S starter bundle. Then again, you can buy a 1TB Xbox Series S in black right now without waiting until October for delivery.
The Xbox Series X gets a storage upgrade to 2TB. The new 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition console (above) is available for preorder right now for $599.99.
If you’d rather get a white version of the Xbox Series X, you’ll have to spend $449.99 on the 1TB Digital Edition that Microsoft just put up for preorder. Unlike the black $469.99 1TB Xbox Series X you can buy right now, the white version won’t come bundled with Xbox All Access. And there’s no disk drive for this one, either.
The new white colorway is the same “robot white” as the current Xbox Series S.
