The Xbox Sequence S will get extra storage and Carbon Black styling

Xbox made a couple of shock bulletins as a part of its huge summer time presentation this weekend, together with main showcases for Starfield and a number of its other upcoming games.

Probably the most welcome, although, wasn’t a few sport in any respect, however fairly the reveal of a brand new mannequin of its wonderful little Sequence S, the lower-powered possibility out of its two current-generation consoles.

The Sequence S is getting a brand new mannequin, releasing on 1 September 2023 however out there to pre-order now, in a graceful Carbon Black colourway that crucially comes with an upgraded inner SSD with 1TB of area.

That is double the earlier allocation, and whereas it comes with a value rise of $50/£50, it is an important new possibility given how shortly the usual Sequence S fills up with video games.

It is a scenario that has seen loads of motion not too long ago, given it was solely final week that WD_Black launched its personal Growth Card for Sequence X and S, bringing a barely lower cost level to the desk to develop issues.

A useful card for these of us who want just a little extra space.

The truth is, that bears trying into – since it will at present value about $380 to get a 500GB Sequence S and pair it with a 500GB Growth Card from WD_Black, the worth that Xbox has tacked onto the 1TB Sequence S is definitely greater than affordable.

Plus, after all, the most recent Sequence S will get that Carbon Black makeover and it actually does look improbable. We’re fairly huge followers of the white Sequence S, with its contrasted grille and funky chunky design aesthetic, however there’s quite a bit to be stated for a stealthier design.

That is what you get with the brand new black mannequin, and it after all suits in rather more naturally with the darker Sequence X, too – not that you simply’d ever be more likely to want each by the identical TV.

This wasn’t even the one enticing redesigned {hardware} Xbox confirmed off – to have a good time the discharge of Starfield it is acquired a stunning pair of restricted editions that may be ordered now. There is a controller and a wireless headset, with the previous particularly taking its place as probably the prettiest one Xbox at present provides.

This Starfield controller is just attractive, and to not be missed.

So, it was a reasonably spectacular exhibiting for Xbox from a {hardware} perspective on condition that video games have been very a lot the principle focus of its showcase.
