Microsoft has just announced a new model of the Xbox Series S with an 1TB SSD. Oh, and it's coloured black.

This fresh model launches on 1st September, Xbox chief Phil Spencer announced tonight at the Xbox Showcase. It's priced at $349, which is $50 more than the standard Xbox Series S at $299.

We're checking to find UK pricing and release details right now.

Microsoft said it had heard the feedback on the current Xbox Series S' existing SSD memory size - 512GB - which gets filled quickly. Add-on SSD memory cards are available, of course, but do not come cheap.

It remains to be seen if the existing Xbox Series S will remain available, or will be replaced entirely.

Not got an Xbox Series console yet? If so, does this appeal to you?
