Microsoft has revealed the release date for the three new Xbox Series S/X console options unveiled earlier this year. The new variants, which include a 1TB Xbox Series S, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X and a special edition 2TB Xbox Series X, will launch on October 15, with select countries following on October 29, Microsoft announced Wednesday. The new console options, however, are not launching India for now. All three new Xbox Series S/X console options are now available to pre-order on the Xbox website.

Xbox Series S/X New Console Options Availability

The new Xbox Series S/X console options will be available in all current Xbox hardware supported regions and markets, but markets in India, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, and UAE are not supported yet, Microsoft confirmed in an Xbox Wire post. The new console options do not show up on the Xbox store in India. The company did not divulge any plans to bring the new consoles to these markets.

The three new console options include a 1TB SSD storage variant of Xbox Series S in Robot White colourway, an all-digital 1TB Xbox Series X, and a 2TB Xbox Series X Special Edition in Galaxy Black colour option. These were announced at the Xbox Games Showcase held in June.

The all-digital console option comes in Robot White and is priced at $449.99/EUR 499.99 ERP, lower than the standard Series X, which comes in at $499.99.

Finally, the top-end variant is a 2TB Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition, which comes with expanded 2TB storage, a new Galaxy Black colourway and a matching Xbox wireless controller. The Galaxy Black Special Edition Xbox Series X is priced at $599.99/EUR 649.99 ERP.

The accessibility devices include the new the Xbox Adaptive Joystick, ByoWave's Proteus controller and 8BitDo's Lite SE 2.4G wireless controller.

The controller also comes with two programmable Super Buttons that can be mapped without any extra software and are fully compatible with the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

The Proteus Controller, on the other hand, comes with modular “snap and play” parts, that allow players to customise and set up the controller any way they want. The controller boasts over 100 million different combinations.
