Xbox One gets 1TB console hardware

Price on 500GB edition reduced, new controller design revealed, Windows adapter soon

Posted on

Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox One 1TB console, with a new matte finish and more storage.

Xbox One 1TB consoles will start shipping to retailers June 16 in the United States and select markets later this month and will be available starting at $399 USD ($449 CDN).

Further, starting today, the $349 USD price on all standard Xbox One 500GB consoles will be permanent in the United States and select regions.

Also included is a newly designed Xbox One Wireless Controller that now comes with a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, and in select regions for a limited time, Halo: The Master Chief Collection. With the updated controller, in addition to the volume and mute controls on gaming headsets, you’ll also have the option to adjust headset volume, mic monitoring, and voice and game audio balance through the Settings menu on your console.

The quality of audio coming through the controller and the maximum audio volume on headsets used with this controller were also improved. All existing controller accessories will work with the updated controller, including the Stereo Headset Adapter. In addition to audio improvements, Microsoft fine-tuned the bumpers for more consistent performance anywhere along the full surface of the bumper. And they’ve enabled wireless firmware updates on the updated controller which eliminates having to connect the controller via USB cable to receive updates. Fans will be able to purchase the new controller as a standalone item in black as well as a new camouflage design in silver and black with the Xbox One Special Edition Covert Forces Wireless Controller.

Starting this fall, you’ll be able to purchase the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows to enjoy it on Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and tablets. With the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, you’ll simply plug the Adapter into the USB 2.0 or 3.0 port of your Windows 10 PC and bind the Adapter to your Wireless Controller, including in-game chat and high-quality stereo audio. The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows will be available for $24.99 U.S. MSRP or bundled with an Xbox One Wireless Controller for $79.95 USD and sold in most markets where Xbox accessories are currently available.

Microsoft promises more news to come next week at E3, starting with their press conference on Monday June 15th.
