In addition to Seagate, this generation of Xbox finally ushered in a new official solid-state storage expansion card. Western Digital WD_BLACK C50 is now on Best Buy, and the 1TB version is priced at $179.99 (Currently about 1237 CNY).

Three years ago, Microsoft launched the Xbox expandable memory card with the Xbox Series S / X game consoles. The price of 1TB is 219.99 US dollars (The current National Bank version is 1699 CNY), which is exclusively manufactured by Seagate, and then launched 512GB and 2TB options, but prices have remained high.

Western Digital’s C50 1TB expansion card is $40 cheaper than Seagate’s equivalent, but foreign media believe that the price of $179.99 is still too high for 1TB of storage, especially when the current Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD is only $79.99.

It’s unclear when this Western Digital 1TB Xbox Expansion Card will be available, at least no pre-order date from Best Buy, but we don’t think it will be too long.

Microsoft yesterday launched a green version of the Xbox Series X / S wireless controller, called “Aomori Green”, priced at 459 CNY on the official website. At the same time, Razer also launched a universal fast-charging base specially adapted to the handle, with an initial price of 399 CNY.

This new colorway features a bright green front panel with green text on the joysticks and buttons, which looks to match the iconic Xbox color scheme.

Of course, Razer also has fast charging docks in other colors. It uses a magnetic suction mechanism + USB power supply. It is suitable for all official Xbox handles except the Elite II. It supports fast charging and greatly reduces the time for interrupting the game due to charging.

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller features a modern design with sculpted surfaces and refined geometry to help improve gaming comfort; textured grips and a hybrid D-pad keep players focused. Players can capture and share content via a dedicated “Share” button.

The handle supports quick pairing and switching of devices such as Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10 computer, iOS and Android, and can play games on different devices.

Newly released documents show that Microsoft and Sony are expected to launch the next generation of consoles only in 2028 at the earliest.

The two companies discussed the potential timing of the launch of the new console in a statement released Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation into Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard by British regulator the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

The CMA is concerned about the impact the $68.7 billion deal could have on PlayStation’s ability to compete, given that Microsoft would gain ownership of the Call of Duty franchise after the acquisition. The regulator said, “This impact could be particularly pronounced at the launch of the next generation of consoles, as gamers make new decisions about which console to buy.”

Sony and Microsoft both launch their current-gen consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S, respectively, in November 2020. in its response to the CMA’s concerns, Microsoft said it is many years away from the launch of next-generation consoles and claimed that any impact of the Activision deal is speculative.

Microsoft said, “There is no dispute between the parties [Microsoft and Activision] that some gamers may reevaluate their console purchase options when the next generation of consoles launches. But they also note that this is an event that only happens about every eight years, and that the next generation of new consoles is not expected to be released until the fall of 2028.”

Sony sees a very real threat that Microsoft will make “Call of Duty” an Xbox exclusive, while Microsoft claims it has little commercial incentive to do so.

Microsoft’s statement also confirms that it has made a contract offer to Sony to make Call of Duty available on PlayStation “until at least the end of 2027. Even if Microsoft does intend to remove Call of Duty from the PlayStation platform after 2027, Microsoft believes that “Sony has had plenty of time to adjust its business strategy.

In its partially edited statement, Sony also cited Microsoft’s offer to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation until 2027 and how that could affect the fate of its next console. “Microsoft’s offer to continue to make Activision games available on PlayStation until 2027 …… will leave SIE without Call of Duty and other Activision games when it launches its next-generation PlayStation console, leaving it highly vulnerable to consumers changing their console choices and subsequently becoming less competitive,” Sony wrote.

Sony added that “even assuming SIE had the capacity and resources to develop a successful game series similar to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a Call of Duty challenger, and the example of EA’s Battlefield suggests that any such effort would likely be unsuccessful.”

Another new Xbox X/S series grip design seems to have leaked, with Twitter user Espía de Ofertas spotting the “Lunar Shift” grip on Amazon, which appears to come with a silver effect and is described on the packaging as “surreal and glossy”. If the images are true, the grip would be able to “change color with light and movement” and would have a “unique color swirl design” on its body.

The discovery comes after it was revealed that retailer Microplay had listed a “mineral camouflage” Xbox controller, which was then officially released by Microsoft the following day and is available for immediate purchase for $70/£60.

Microsoft says: “The Mineral Camo Grip features a bold mineral blue, bright purple, aqua blue and dark purple camouflage pattern. This color scheme sets it apart from the rest of the Camo range, as its oceanic hues are inspired by geodesic crystals, finding the perfect balance between striking and understated.”

The Xbox X/S range launches in November 2020 and is initially available in three grip colors. Carbon Black, Robot White and Shock Blue. A number of additional grip colors have since been released, including Pulse Red, Electric Volt, White Stripe Camo, Aqua Special Edition, Deep Pink and Xbox 20th Anniversary Special Edition.

Microsoft launched a white version of the Xbox Elite Series 2 grip last week.
