Xbox Series S – 1TB Carbon Black (2023)

The 1TB Carbon Black Series S has the same ports as every Series S: one HDMI 2.1 output aimed at 1440p up to 120fps, with VRR and ALLM, three USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) Type-A ports (one front, two rear), Gigabit Ethernet and the rear Storage Expansion Card slot. There's no optical audio and no HDMI input, so a soundbar or receiver takes its audio over HDMI. Power is a standard figure-8 cable to the internal supply. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.

Xbox Series S with doubled 1TB storage in Carbon Black matte finish. Same performance and ports as standard Series S. Released alongside Starfield launch.
