As someone who has witnessed the evolution of gaming consoles over the past few decades, I must say, the new Xbox console models unveiled this year are truly a sight to behold. The Galaxy Black Special Edition Xbox Series X, with its sleek and sophisticated design, is particularly striking – it’s like a piece of modern art that just happens to play games.


Three distinct Xbox console models are coming soon: the Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition and the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition, as well as the Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White. These new models will hit stores on October 15, 2024, in the United States. If you’re eager to get your hands on one, you can place a preorder through Microsoft’s website right now.

Back in June, Microsoft unveiled their upcoming console models, which some of our writers have had a chance to examine up close, as evidenced by the photos you see here. These personal inspections provide a clearer picture of what the Galaxy Black Xbox Series X will look like. The specific release dates for these new Xbox consoles have also been revealed. Preorders are currently available, with shipping starting on October 15, 2024 in the United States and October 29, 2024 in other regions.

Among the three variations of the Xbox Series X, the Galaxy Black Special Edition (2 TB) priced at $599.99 offers the most expansive storage capacity, perfect for housing top-tier Xbox games. On the other hand, the Xbox Series X Digital Edition (1 TB), costing $449.99, and the Xbox Series S Robot White (1 TB) at $349.99 boast reasonable storage capacities, particularly when considering their counterparts’ base models.

Preorders for the consoles have started today! Americans can secure their preorder on October 15, 2024. The console models are also open for preorder in Xbox-compatible regions and markets worldwide. However, customers living outside the U.S. will need to wait until October 29, 2024 to receive their preorders.

At Gamescom 2024, we’re starting the pre-sale for our latest console models, creating a buzz among gamers. Preordering now means you’ll receive your new device ahead of the 2024 holiday season, provided that the stock keeps up with demand.

Instead of buying a brand new console due to storage concerns, you could consider the currently discounted 2TB Seagate Expansion Card. It’s now available for $229.99, marking a $20 reduction from its original price.
