The Xbox Series X design was unlike anything else that we’ve seen with its super understated design, all-black nature, and it’s been left up to special editions to add that extra bit of something to the console, but most of these have been not up for purchase and only able to be won in competitions.
In comes the Galaxy Black Xbox Series X which is one of the first limited edition consoles to release so far, and it builds on that same sleek and stylish design, adding a few small design highlights to make it extra special.
It also has a larger 2TB SSD which is why it’s a bit more expensive than the standard Xbox Series X, so it’s obviously going to be for a more hardcore gamer or a collector that likes everything.
As far as the design goes, it’s the same black console but there’s green and grey specks all over the console which on paper sounds like it could be a mess, but it still looks high-end and classy, adding an extra bit of something to the design.
The only other major difference is that the base is a bright Xbox green which again, doesn’t take away from the original design of the console but adds a bit of extra pop.
It’s the controller that really steals the show here, and it absolutely would have sold well if it was released separately. It’s the same black controller, with again some minor differences to elevate the design.
The d-pad has that same speckled design pulling over from the console, the buttons are blacked out and the whole back of the controller pulls over that same bright Xbox green from the base of the console.
Whilst most people probably won’t run out to upgrade their original Xbox Series X to the Galaxy Black, I personally love seeing these limited edition releases and hope we see more from Xbox.
