Microsoft has announced a new SKU for its Xbox One that will feature a 1TB hard drive, a newly-designed Xbox One wireless controller that has a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, and a copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
The Xbox One 1TB console will start shipping to retailers on June 16 in the US and will be available starting at $399. As a result, standard Xbox One 500GB consoles will have now have a permanent price drop of $349.
The new Xbox One wireless controller’s 3.5mm headset jack allows users to plug in their favorite gaming headset right into it, making the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter essentially obsolete. The quality of audio coming through the controller has also been improved as well as increasing the maximum audio volume on headsets. Aside from audio improvements, the new Xbox One controller has fine-tuned bumpers to offer more consistent performance anywhere along its surface, and most importantly, wireless firmware updates will now be possible. The controller will be available in black and a new camouflage design in silver and black.
Microsoft also mentions it will be releasing its Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows this fall as a standalone product at $24.99 or bundled with an Xbox One Wireless Controller for $79.95. The adapter allows those with an Xbox One controller to use it wirelessly on their Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and tablets. There’s no mention of Windows 8, so we’ve reached out to Microsoft to clarify if the adapter will be compatible.
