At its annual Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft made several exciting announcements. Among the reveals was the introduction of a new Xbox console set to launch later this year.
The new addition, known as the Xbox Series S Carbon Black, offers enhancements over the original Xbox Series S, including a sleek Carbon Black finish and a generous 1TB of internal storage.
Sleek Carbon Black Design
The Xbox Series S Carbon Black features a bold and modern matte finish, similar to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Wireless Controller. This elegant color option adds a touch of sophistication to the console’s appearance.
Enhanced Storage and Performance
With double the storage capacity compared to the 512GB Series S, this upgraded console allows you to download even more of your favorite games. Enjoy lightning-fast load times, gameplay of up to 120 FPS, and the impressive Quick Resume feature, all made possible by the Xbox Velocity Architecture.
Compatibility and Game Pass Ultimate
The Xbox Series S seamlessly pairs with all the Xbox accessories, ensuring a familiar and convenient gaming experience. Additionally, you can enhance your gameplay by subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (membership sold separately).
This subscription grants you access to a vast library of games, including new releases like Starfield and Forza Motorsport, which are designed specifically for Xbox Series S and X. With a constantly expanding game collection, you’ll always have something new to enjoy.
Pricing and availability
Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Carbon Black console is launching on September 1, 2023. Pre-orders for Xbox Series S – 1TB start today at xbox.com or microsoftstore.com for $349.99 (Rs. 28,853 approx.) / Rs. 38,990 in India (ERP). Microsoft says it’ll be adding more retailers and regions in the weeks to come.
Speaking on the announcement, Bree Adams, Senior Marketing Manager, Xbox, said:
Xbox is for everyone who loves games. You can play any game on any device you want. Some gamers told us they wanted more space to store their games. So we made a new Carbon Black Series S with 1TB of space. You can get this new Xbox if you want to change your old one or if you are new to Xbox. It is another choice for you in the Xbox family.
