An all-digital Xbox Series X is coming this holiday season

<p>Toward the end of the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/">Xbox[/url] Games Showcase, Microsoft unveiled a <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/06/09/xbox-series-x-s-new-console-options/">refreshed console lineup[/url]. For the first time, the company will offer an Xbox Series X with no disc drive in a robot white colorway. It comes with 1TB of storage and will cost $450. The MSRP of the original Series X is $500, but it often goes on sale (Microsoft itself is currently selling the console for $450).</p>
<p>A Xbox Series X without a disc drive <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/huge-leak-reveals-microsoft-will-launch-an-all-digital-xbox-series-x-and-new-gyro-controller-090442796.html">had long been expected[/url]. A leak in March suggested that <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-may-be-working-on-a-cheaper-disc-free-xbox-series-x-104021193.html">an all-digital robot white model[/url] was in the works. As with the PS5 refresh <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/sony-is-releasing-a-smaller-ps5-with-a-detachable-disc-drive-in-november-162625078.html">Sony released last year[/url], perhaps Microsoft will offer a disc drive attachment for folks who later decide they want to play physical games on their Series X too.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>A special edition Xbox Series X will also soon be available. This model, in galaxy black, does have a disc drive and double the internal storage of the regular Series X at 2TB. It will come with a matching controller and cost $600.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Xbox Series S is getting a more modest update. Microsoft released a <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/xbox-series-s-is-now-available-in-carbon-black-with-1tb-of-storage-180602071.html">1TB model in carbon black last year[/url], and a version with the same storage and original colorway is in the pipeline. The 1TB robot white option will be offered in select markets and cost $350. The company notes that the black model will be available &quot;while supplies last,&quot; indicating it's phasing that variant out.</p>
<p>More details on availability and regional pricing will be revealed soon. Microsoft says it also has plans for controller designs to match certain games and more Xbox Series X console wraps.</p>
