Xbox Series S model gains expanded storage and a more environmentally-friendly edge

Microsoft has just introduced an upgraded version of its Xbox Series S, aimed at enhancing the digital gaming experience while also embracing eco-friendliness. Priced at $350, this latest iteration boasts an impressive 1TB of storage, doubling the capacity of its predecessor, all packaged in a sleek "Carbon Black" design.

This expanded storage capacity is a game-changer for Xbox Series S owners. Since the console is digital-only, all games must fit into the built-in hard drive. Previously, with just 512GB, gamers could only accommodate a limited number of titles, often having to juggle which ones to keep due to space constraints. For example, the latest blockbuster release like Bethesda's Starfield, which requires a hefty 130GB of storage, could take up a significant portion. However, with the Series S's new 1TB hard drive, players can comfortably house around seven or eight high-end games alongside various smaller indie titles, providing a welcome buffer before the need to decide on game deletion or invest in an external hard drive.

Yet, the enhancements don't stop at storage alone. Microsoft has also taken a stride towards environmental sustainability by incorporating various components in the Series S made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins. This move aligns with the growing awareness and commitment to greener practices in the technology industry.

It's worth noting that when comparing the Xbox Series S and Series X, there are significant differences. The Series S, positioned as the budget-friendly alternative to the more powerful Series X, lacks a disc drive and is designed for lower resolutions (1080p or 1440p), whereas the Series X offers 4K capabilities.

However, this new model of the Series S has narrowed the gap, particularly in terms of storage capacity, providing a more compelling option for gamers seeking a balance between performance and affordability.
