LIVE Xbox deals for Black Friday 2024: Discounts on Series X|S and more

The Xbox Series X, still the highest model in Microsoft’s range of Xbox consoles, now comes in a white color variant with an upgrade to 1TB of storage, but loses the disc drive. This means all your games must be purchased digitally, but the extra SSD space means less need to uninstall titles to make room for the latest AAA game.

Nevertheless, even without the disc drive, Executive Editor Jez Corden still praises the all-digital edition in his recently updated Xbox Series X review: “Whether you grab the standard black Xbox Series X or go for the digital white Xbox Series X Digital Edition, it’s a box that should still last you for years.”

With the continued success of Xbox Game Pass, any newbie to Microsoft’s console will get instant access to a gigantic library of day-1 releases with their subscription, including blockbuster hits like STALKER 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. I still use my day an Xbox Series X in black almost every day and I’ve never bought a single game on disc or even watched a 4K UHD blu-ray movie with my console. Still, the option is there if you’re a movie buff and have a compatible 4K TV. — Ben Wilson, Senior Editor
