Microsoft is bringing All-digital Xbox Series X/S consoles in October, more details here

Microsoft had unveiled its Xbox Series S/X consoles earlier this month. Now, the company has announced the release date for three new Xbox Series S/X console variants. The company will unveil these new gaming consoles on October 15 and on October 29 for other markets.

There’s going to be a 1TB Xbox Series S, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X, and a special edition 2TB Xbox Series X. But this might not be the best news for us Indians as Microsoft is not planning to unveil the consoles in India right now. The new Xbox consoles will be rolled out across all regions where Xbox hardware is currently supported.

However, several key markets, including India, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, and the UAE, are not included in this initial release. Microsoft confirmed this in an Xbox Wire post. However, it did not disclose any plans to introduce these models in these excluded regions.

The pre-orders for all three variants are now open on the official Xbox website. The three new console variants are as follows:

1. 1TB Xbox Series S: It comes in a classic Robot White colorway and is priced at $349.99/EUR 349.99 ERP. With this, you get upgraded storage options.
