Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! Today, Microsoft has officially announced a new disc-less Xbox Series X console in white. This sleek new option will be all-digital and come with 1TB of storage, priced at $449.99.
The white Xbox Series X was revealed by Xbox president Sarah Bond during the Xbox Games Showcase. Alongside this new model, there will also be a 2TB “Galaxy Black” version of the original Xbox Series X and a $349.99 1TB Xbox Series S in white.
The exterior of the white Xbox Series X matches the design of the smaller Xbox Series S, known for its “robot white” color. Speculations suggest that Microsoft may have made upgrades to the console’s cooling system, but we’ll have to wait for teardowns to confirm.
For those looking for a special edition, the Galaxy Black Xbox Series X will include a disc drive and launch at $599.99 later this year. This special edition promises the same performance as the original Xbox Series X but with twice the storage and a unique design.
The existence of a white Xbox Series X indicates that Microsoft may have postponed or canceled the refreshed version of the console known as Brooklin. This unannounced console was supposed to have a more cylindrical design with no disc drive and was priced at $499.
Xbox chief Phil Spencer addressed leaks about the Brooklin console last year, hinting at changes in Microsoft’s hardware plans. Despite setbacks, Spencer assures fans that there is still much to be excited about in the future of Xbox hardware.
