Microsoft has this week confirmed that the new Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows will only support their new upcoming Windows 10 operating system, and not the older Windows 7 or the current Windows 8.1 versions.
The latest Xbox Wireless Adapter will be available later this year priced at $24.99 and enables you to play games on your Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and tablets using the new Xbox wireless controller.
Enhanced Gaming Experience
The new Xbox Wireless Adapter is also available bundled with an Xbox One Wireless Controller for $79.95, Microsoft explained in a statement:
“With the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, you’ll simply plug the Adapter into the USB 2.0 or 3.0 port of your Windows 10 PC and bind the Adapter to your Wireless Controller to enable the same gaming experience you’re used to on Xbox One, including in-game chat and high-quality stereo audio.”
This adapter is a significant step forward for gamers who prefer the flexibility of playing on different devices. By supporting Windows 10 exclusively, Microsoft ensures that users will benefit from the latest advancements in gaming technology and system performance. The adapter’s compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports makes it versatile and easy to use, ensuring a seamless connection between the controller and the PC.
New 1TB Xbox One Console
Yesterday, Microsoft also unveiled the new 1TB Xbox One console, offering double the storage space of the current model. This new version will be available from June 16th in the US for $399, while the 500GB version will now be permanently priced at $349. Check out the 1TB Xbox One here.
The increased storage capacity of the 1TB Xbox One console addresses the growing demand for more space to store games, apps, and media. As games become more complex and graphically intensive, they also require more storage space. The 1TB model ensures that gamers have ample room for their favorite titles and additional content without the need for external storage solutions.
In addition to the increased storage, the new Xbox One console features a sleek design and improved performance. This makes it an attractive option for both new buyers and existing Xbox users looking to upgrade their systems. The permanent price reduction of the 500GB version also makes it a more accessible option for budget-conscious gamers.
Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing the gaming experience is evident in these new releases. By focusing on the latest technology and user needs, they continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the gaming world. The Xbox Wireless Adapter and the new 1TB Xbox One console are just two examples of how Microsoft is striving to provide the best possible gaming experience for its users.
