The 1TB Carbon Black Xbox Series S is now available

Following an announcement at the Xbox Games Showcase earlier this summer, Microsoft has now officially launched the new Carbon Black Xbox Series S. The new version ships with 1TB of storage instead of 512GB, giving users more space for games on the digital-only console. 

The black shell of the Xbox Series S now matches the bigger Xbox Series X, giving the Xbox range a unified design. With the black model's higher storage capacity, gamers can install titles with huge storage needs (Call of Duty would be one example) without worrying about running out of space.

Previously, consumers had just 364GB of usable storage on the Xbox Series S, although this could be expanded with the purchase of a pricey Seagate SSD card. The new model offers more than twice the amount of usable storage, coming in at 800GB of space for game installs.

The black Xbox Series S comes with a black controller that matches the style of the console. Surprisingly, Microsoft has kept the black coating on the speaker-like circular fan at the top of the console, which functions as the primary heat exhaust fan. In contrast to the “robot white” 512GB variant, this design decision results in a consistent black look for the whole console. The black Xbox Series S with 1TB storage is now available for £299.99/$349.99/€349.99.
