Microsoft Launches Carbon Black Xbox Series S: Double The Storage, Minor Price Hike

Microsoft has announced an expansion of its Xbox Series X/S family with the introduction of a new Carbon Black Xbox Series S variant.

Priced at $350, the new model boasts 1TB of SSD storage and is set to hit the market on September 1, perfectly timed to coincide with the release of "Starfield."

Compared to the base Xbox Series S, the Carbon Black edition offers double the storage capacity for an additional $50.

It is important to note that the new Carbon Black model does not feature a faster processor or improved GPU, meaning that it will still deliver lower resolution or frame rates for most games.

However, this new addition to the Xbox family, with its 1TB storage capacity, presents an affordable and ideal option for Game Pass enthusiasts, addressing the need to make space for new game additions due to the growing size of modern games.
