New Xbox consoles & controller plans revealed by court documents

radiotimes.com:

Microsoft could reportedly release a revamped Xbox Series X console and an upgraded controller in 2024, followed by a fully next-gen Xbox console in 2028, if a leak from the FTC v. Microsoft court documents is to be believed.

Following Microsoft’s attempt to purchase Activision Blizzard in January 2022, many documents have been seen by the press and the wider world, detailing a whole load of behind-the-scenes emails and other juicy titbits of information from both Microsoft and Sony.

As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)'s ongoing legal battle with Microsoft has rattled on, we've seen everything from accounts of the PlayStation Portal revealed early, to rumoured information about a potential new PS5 model, and much more.

It's important to note however that these are still leaks and nothing is confirmed, so while they might appear to have come from an official source we'd still urge caution before getting too excited.
