Ho, ho, holy moly: Microsoft unveils new Xbox consoles for Christmas 2024
For the upcoming Christmas season, Microsoft is adding three new Xbox Series X|S options to its lineup, each with unique designs, storage capacities, and price points. Details regarding pre-orders and market availability will be announced in the coming months
The Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White follows last year's Carbon Black version, offering gamers a sleek design with double the storage capacity to accommodate more games. It retains features like Quick Resume, fast load times, and gameplay up to 120 FPS. This new variant will be available at a retail price of $349.99, while the Carbon Black Series S 1TB will continue to be available until stock runs out.
Microsoft launches new Xbox and brings PC Game Pass titles to NVIDIA GeForce NOW
In a series of announcements at Xbox Games Showcase 2023, Microsoft has revealed that Game Pass subscribers will soon be able to stream select PC games through NVIDIA GeForce NOW. This means that a library -- albeit a limited one -- of PC games will be playable on low spec PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, mobile devices, TVs and more.
The company also announced a new Xbox console -- the Xbox Series S 1TB in Carbon Black. Priced at $350, the gaming system will be available later this year.
Seagate Game Drive for Xbox Game Pass Special Edition HDD has up to 4TB capacity
Earlier today, Microsoft officially launched its Xbox Game Pass service for all users. If you aren't familiar, please know that it is essentially an all-you-can-eat-styled video game service. For a mere $9.99 per month, you can download and play 100+ Xbox One and 360 titles. It is insanely cool and a great value.
The problem? The games you download will take up a lot of space on your Xbox One's internal hard drive. Luckily, Microsoft makes it easy to expand the console's storage capacity -- just plug in a USB HDD or SSD. Today, Seagate announces an external mechanical hard drive that is designed for the console. The Game Drive for Xbox Game Pass Special Edition, as it is insanely called, can be had in either 2TB or 4TB. To sweeten the deal, you will get a complimentary Game Pass subscription!
