Microsoft unveils 'Minecraft' edition Xbox One S. How devoted are you to Minecraft ? Devoted enough that you want your console to be a living, breathing representation of the construction game? If so, you're in luck. Microsoft has unveiled a limited edition Minecraft Xbox One S that drapes the entire console in Mojang's blocky art style. There's a grass block on the front, a transparent, redstone-laced bottom and a Creeper-themed green controller (there's an optional pink, pig-themed gamepad). Naturally, it'll include a copy of Minecraft (with the Better Together update). The system arrives on October 3rd. Microsoft hasn't detailed pricing or regional availability as we write this, but it'll ship with a 1TB hard drive. We wouldn't expect it to carry a significant premium over a plain Xbox One S with a bundled game, but don't be surprised if this becomes the system to get among Minecraft players. well, those who don't want to play in 4K, at least.

Above: Microsoft's Xbox One X limited editions. Microsoft wants you to feel special. So, it a limited edition of the Xbox One X game console that debuts on November 7, as well as new limited editions of the Xbox One S console. Microsoft also opened preorders for these new editions after its press event ahead of the Gamescom event in Germany. In an interview with GamesBeat, Xbox chief marketing officer Mike Nichols said the company will debut a Project Scorpio limited edition of the Xbox One X. Project Scorpio was the original code name for the console, which features 4K visuals, Xbox One compatibility, and 6 teraflops of computing power. The Project Scorpio edition has a unique wireless controller, an “Easter egg” on the console, and subtle paint differences. The words “Project Scorpio” are printed on both the fan-inspired console and the controller. It will cost $500. “It has special packaging that harks back to Xbox lineage,” Nichols said. “We really have a product family with Xbox One and Xbox One X.” While Microsoft delayed the launch of its Crackdown 3 game until 2018, Nichols said the console would ship with Forza Motorsport 7 and 100 “enhanced Xbox One” games, which are being modified for the better visuals. (Nichols did not say how many of the enhanced games would be ready on November 7.) Enhanced games will include Halo 5, ReCore: Definitive Edition, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, NBA 2K18, FIFA 18, Star Wars Battlefront II, Disneyland Adventures, Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure, Zoo Tycoon, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Above: Mike Nichols, chief marketing officer at Xbox, at E3 2017. “It’s easy for developers to take advantage of the system,” Nichols said. Microsoft is also releasing a Middle-Earth: Shadow of War bundle for the Xbox One S. The bundle will come with the new Warner Bros. game and will be available in October. Microsoft will have a Minecraft limited edition version of the Xbox One S, too. The Minecraft edition has a blocky grass-colored chassis, and it will come with either a custom Minecraft Creeper green controller or a Minecraft pig pink controller (the latter in honor of the pigs in the game). It will feature redstone elements in a “skin pack” and in its packaging, as Redstone is a basic resource in Minecraft. The console will feature the Minecraft Creeper, Minecraft system sounds, vertical stand, and a transparent underside with Redstone circuit accents. It will be available on October 3, 2017, in all markets except China and Brazil. Microsoft is also extending its Xbox Design Lab, where you can order your own custom controllers, to 24 new countries. Nichols also said that Player Unknown Battlegrounds will available not only on the Xbox One X (as previously announced). It will also be available this fall on the Xbox One. PUBG has sold more than 8 million copies on Steam Early Access in the past four months. “We will work with them to see [that the] title is as big and successful on console,” Nichols said. Microsoft also is adding seven new games to the catalog for the Xbox Game Pass subscription. Those games include Fable 2 and ReCore: Definitive Edition. It will also be available in eight new markets: Argentina, Brazil, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Asked about the Crackdown 3 delay and the scarcity of new titles at launch, Nichols said Crackdown 3 is very ambitions and “we want to make sure the game is ready to go.” He added, “It’s a different kind of console launch. All Xbox One games play on Xbox One X, and many are being enhanced for Xbox One X.” Cuphead will also be ready for the Xbox One X (as well as the Xbox One), and spring 2018 exclusives coming are Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and State of Decay 2. Sea of Thieves, by the way, will have cross play between online players on the PC and the console. As to supplies at launch, Nichols said, “We feel good about supply. We do expect demand to exceed supply. We expect to launch in all markets. We will do our best to replenish the initial quantity as fast as we can.” For PC gamers, Microsoft said it is bringing more features — such as Mixer broadcasting, updates to Game Mode, Game Bar, and added support for HDR screenshots. Among the titles debuting soon for Xbox One and Xbox One X are Assassin’s Creed Origins, Super Lucky’s Tale, Disneyland Adventures, Surviving Mars (coming in 2018), Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Edition, Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure, Jurassic World Evolution, and Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare. Microsoft also said it has shipped 600 ID@Xbox independent games and 1,500 more are in the works. gamescom 2017: Pre-Order the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition Now. Today we unveiled the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition designed for fans who want to be the first to experience the world’s most powerful console – and it’s available for pre-order now for $499 USD until supplies run out. When we announced Project Scorpio last year, we were overwhelmed by the excitement from our fans. And although we revealed Project Scorpio as Xbox One X at E3 earlier this year, the codename will live on in the Scorpio Engine that powers the console, as well as in this limited edition console. We designed the Project Scorpio Edition for fans to celebrate both our heritage and the power and precision that we are bringing into our future. The Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition features a custom design with the words “Project Scorpio” printed on the console and the controller and we’ve incorporated a sophisticated and dynamic graphic pattern across the exterior. Fans who have been with us since the very start of Xbox will notice the packaging is inspired by the original Xbox. The Project Scorpio Edition also comes with an exclusive vertical stand so you can choose how to display it in your home. We’ll only have a limited number of Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition consoles, and they will only be available as part of this pre-order. Get them now before they’re gone forever by pre-ordering from your local retailer, including Microsoft Store or Microsoft.com. We are counting down to the launch of Xbox One X later this year and look forward to getting the world’s most powerful console into the hands of our fans. With 40 percent more power and 60 percent more memory for game developers than any other console, get ready to experience immersive true 4K gaming. Your games play better on Xbox One X and blockbuster titles look great, run smoothly, and load quickly even on a 1080p screen. And excitement and developer commitment for Xbox One X has grown since E3 and, to date, more than 100 new and existing games will be enhanced for Xbox One X to take advantage of its full power. Xbox One X also works with all your existing Xbox One games and accessories and we’re thrilled to welcome it to the Xbox One family of devices joining Xbox One S. For fans looking for the best value in gaming and entertainment, Xbox One S continues to deliver and we just announced two new bundles joining the ranks – the Xbox One S Shadow of War bundles and the Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition bundle. Both Xbox One X and Xbox One S are built to take advantage of 4K entertainment, too, and include an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, 4K video streaming and HDR for videos and gaming. The 2TB Xbox One S was a limited launch edition that's now sold out. Microsoft's new 2TB Xbox One S console is selling out around the world, but it appears that might be by design. While Microsoft is planning to release 500GB and 1TB versions of the Xbox One S, the 2TB console is a special limited edition launch model. "The 2TB Xbox One S was released as a special launch edition in limited quantities only," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to GameSpot . That could mean that Microsoft might not ever manufacture a white version of the 2TB Xbox One S, but what it more likely represents is the company's plans to offer the larger console in limited edition colors and bundles. Microsoft is already planning to release a 2TB Gears of War 4 -branded console later in the year, and it's hard to imagine there won't be other bundles in time for the holidays. Eurogamer reports that the 2TB Xbox One S has completely sold out at most retailers worldwide. It's not clear when Microsoft plans to launch the 500GB and 1TB models, but the company says it will be "sharing further details on other Xbox One S bundles and variations in the coming weeks."

Microsoft Xbox One S review: Xbox One S is the best Xbox you might not want to buy. Xbox One S is the best Xbox yet. The Xbox One S is the most feature-filled console Microsoft has ever made, but that doesn't mean you should buy it. by Jeff Bakalar. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. Microsoft Xbox One S (1TB) 7 Related Models. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Google Home Mini. Google Pixel 2 XL. The Good The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games. The updated controller works with other Bluetooth devices, too. The Bad 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017. The Bottom Line The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box. Review Sections. CNET Gaming Consoles Microsoft Xbox One S. Update 8/4/16: Several spec teardown reports have uncovered slight difference in the graphical hardware performance of Xbox One S. Specifically, Xbox One S has a small GPU clock increase of 914 MHz from 853 MHz and an ESRAM bandwidth increase of 219 GB/s from 204 GB/s. These bumps are only noticeable in-game in a small number of situations. In fact, they exist only as an bonus side effect of Microsoft ensuring HDR content performs without a hitch. This is more like it. The Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should've first released back in 2013 instead of the lumbering beast that we got. It's better in a number of ways, making it even more of a worthy alternative to Sony's PlayStation 4. Xbox One S offers a far more attractive enclosure, options for a bigger hard drive, a slightly redesigned controller and some video perks for owners of 4K TVs. It starts at $300, £250 or AU$400 for the 500GB version; $350, £300 or AU$500 for a 1TB model; and $400, £350 or AU$549 for 2TB. That last model is available to buy as of today in the US (and includes the vertical stand that otherwise costs $20 when purchased separately in the US), while those with the smaller hard drives will be available later in August, bundled with games such as Madden 17 and Halo. (Additional bundles will follow later in the year -- including a pricier 2TB Gears of War 4 version in October -- and may vary by region.) Sounds like a slam dunk, right? Unfortunately, it's never that simple. The One S doesn't get an across-the-board "buy it now" recommendation for two reasons. First off, it doesn't deliver huge improvements for anyone who already owns an Xbox One. But more importantly, Microsoft has already promised that the next Xbox -- dubbed Project Scorpio -- will be arriving in late 2017 with with the seriously amped-up graphics and VR-ready hardware that audiences are clamoring for. When it's all said and done, the Xbox One S should be primarily viewed as a slimmed-down version of the Xbox One that introduces a mildly updated controller and provisions for 4K display. It's not going to warp you into a state-of-the-art gaming experience. Pragmatically, you're probably better off nabbing an older Xbox One, which are now being sold at fire-sale prices. But if you are getting an Xbox One for the first time, have an interest in the bundled games and aren't saving your pennies for 2017's Project Scorpio, the One S is certainly a good all-round gaming and entertainment deal. What's new in the Xbox One S. There's a short but significant list of improvements and changes to the Xbox One S. Smaller, cleaner design: To start, it's 40 percent smaller, which considering its power supply is now internal, is impressive. It's also stark white, with some slick plastic moldings flanking the entirety of the box. I think it's the best-looking Xbox Microsoft has ever designed. The One S can also stand vertically, too. The 2TB model we received for review packs in a stand. If you buy one of the other models, you can get the stand separately for $20. 4K and HDR video: Xbox One S gets a fairly beefy upgrade on its video capabilities, with 4K resolution (3,840x2,160, or four times as sharp as standard 1080p HDTVs) and HDR (high dynamic range, which is basically enhanced contrast and color). Keep in mind: those features only work on compatible TVs and 4K functionality only works with a small but growing list of compatible video content. 4K can currently be accessed through streaming video services such as Amazon and Netflix (as long as you have the bandwidth to support it and pay for their premium tier) and those new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Certain games, meanwhile, will eventually be able to take advantage of HDR visual improvements, but don't look for PC-like 4K graphics -- the games are merely upscaled to 4K. So no, you're not getting native 4K gaming out of an Xbox One S. In fact, only a limited number of games will feature HDR and none of them are out yet. They are Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and 2017's Scalebound. New controller design: The Xbox One controller has been updated for the S, too. It has a more streamlined top section, better range and textured grips. It can also use Bluetooth to connect, which opens the door for compatibility with other devices -- no more annoying dongles, at least on Bluetooth-compatible PCs. The One S controller (right), compared with its predecessor. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the new controller's design. It's not a drastic departure from the original, but there's just enough of a change to make it feel cheaper. The plastic textured grips don't feel good the way rubberized ones do, but thankfully the triggers seem unchanged. The D-pad also feels slightly less tactile -- I even noticed differences between two of the new controllers side by side. IR blaster and receiver: Still present is the IR port for controlling the console with a remote, but the Xbox One S also features an integrated IR blaster to control or power on other devices in the room. And it still does everything the old Xbox One does: The good news is that you're not losing anything with the Xbox One S compared with its predecessor. Around back the console offers a lot of the same ports as the original Xbox One, though noticeably absent is a dedicated Kinect port. You can still attach Kinect to the Xbox One S, you'll just need a special $40 (!) adapter. Either way, the omission of a Kinect port should give you an idea of how that peripheral is regarded at Microsoft HQ. HDMI-in and -out ports are still there, so you can still make use of the Xbox One's live TV integration if that's something that appeals to you, but I never found it overly useful. Suffice it to say, the One S plays all existing Xbox One games, and a growing list of Xbox 360 games. It also includes all of the encouraging software improvements Microsoft has made over the past few years, including the redesigned interface, support for the Cortana digital assistant (using a microphone headset), compatibility with the Windows Store and, soon, additional cross-play options with Windows PC gamers on certain titles. 4K and HDR scorecard. I want to personally thank the Xbox One S for introducing me to the hot mess that is the world of 4K and HDR formats. I considered myself fairly fluent in the language of home theater, but I was bewildered at the insane of amount of granularity and confusion that the format is currently plagued with. Hot Products.

Pre-order Xbox One X in a limited Project Scorpio Edition. The rumors were true. Microsoft is marking the launch of the Xbox One X by starting pre-orders for a limited Project Scorpio Edition for the console. It'll cost the same $499/£450 as the standard model, but this is more than a rehash of the Day One system that commemorated the Xbox One launch in 2013. On top of Project Scorpio lettering on the console and controller, the machine gets a "sophisticated and dynamic" pattern and an exclusive vertical stand to flaunt your early adopter status. Even the packaging has a twist -- it harkens back to the 2001-era Xbox. You can pre-order from retailers right now (including Microsoft's own store, Best Buy and Gamestop), and you'll probably want to consider it if you were already bent on getting the Xbox One X come November 7th. It's possible that stock will linger around, but we wouldn't count on it if there's a rush. As it is, there will be something if you're content with "just" 1080p gaming. On top of the Minecraft console, Microsoft is prepping Xbox One S Middle-earth: Shadow of War bundles that include the fantasy slasher as well as 1 month of Xbox Game Pass and 2 weeks of Xbox Live Gold. Both models arrive on October 10th, when they'll be available in nearly every market at $279 for a 500GB bundle and $349 for the 1TB system. Follow all the latest news live from Gamescom here!

Introducing the Gears of War 4 Limited Edition 2TB Bundle, the First Custom Xbox One S. Last month at E3, we unveiled new additions to our Xbox One family of devices, including the highly-anticipated Xbox One S, the smallest and most compact Xbox yet, starting at $299. Xbox One S features a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player and High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for video and gaming to deliver richer, more luminous colors in games like Gears of War 4. We also announced a host of Xbox Live features and updates that will unite gamers across devices, alongside our biggest lineup of games on Xbox One and Windows 10. We’re building a future beyond console generations, letting fans play without boundaries to provide more choice than ever before on where and how they play. To deliver on that promise, we unveiled new accessories like the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller – Gears of War 4 Limited Edition, and were grateful for the amazing reaction from our fans. Today, we’re excited to expand our collection of hardware and accessories even further by introducing the Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition 2TB Bundle : the first-ever custom-designed Xbox One S bundle, revealed earlier via Mashable and available for pre-order today. Continuing the collaboration between The Coalition, the studio developing Gears of War 4 , and the Xbox design team, we were inspired by the idea of creating something that looks as if it were lifted right out of the game: a console that bears the battle marks of surviving a desperate fight against Gears of War 4’s ferocious new enemies – the Swarm. Advances in technology and manufacturing techniques really let us free up our imaginations. From the laser-etched scratches, to the bloody thumbprint on the controller’s red metallic D-pad and the iconic Crimson Omen, we looked closely at what we could do with every piece of hardware. We’re always looking for ways to provide value to our customers, which is why the Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition 2TB Bundle will be the ultimate Gears bundle, including the following: Gritty, battle-weathered custom Xbox One S console with a massive 2TB hard drive All-new Xbox Wireless Controller – Gears of War 4 Crimson Omen Limited Edition, featuring a textured grip for enhanced comfort; our most reliable wireless signal ever, with up to two times the wireless range compared to previous controllers when used with Xbox One S; and Bluetooth radio, giving you an easy wireless connection to your Windows 10 PCs and tablets 4K Ultra HD video and Blu-ray player, custom system sounds, and a vertical stand High Dynamic Range support for video and games Full game download of Gears of War 4: Ultimate Edition for both Xbox One and Windows 10 (featuring cross-play support in all co-op modes) – a $99 value Early access to the game on Oct. 7 Gears of War 4 Season Pass, featuring the exclusive Vintage VIP Pack, permanent access to future multiplayer maps for private games, six additional Gear Packs including the Vintage JD Gear Pack, early previews to upcoming modes, and much more. Beyond that, fans will also receive a host of in-game content, starting with the exclusive Vintage Oscar Elite Gear Pack, which features Vintage Oscar, the Vintage Retro Lancer, Vintage Boomshot and more. We’re also throwing in the Pre-Order Vintage Del Gear Pack plus six additional Gear Packs to make sure that fans are fully stocked.
