Microsoft's Xbox Series X Refresh & Next-Gen Xbox consoles have been detailed in a major leak by the FTC. The information covers all next-gen hardware and software plans that the company plans to roll out in the coming years.
The leak is a major one and by major one and covers at least three next-gen Xbox consoles as a part of the roadmap. Like any generation, Microsoft has planned to roll out a mid-cycle refresh of its Xbox Series consoles which include the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S.
First up, we have the Xbox Series X Refresh which is codenamed Project Brooklin. The conceptual pictures of this console show a cylindrical design as opposed to the rectangular design we got on the original Xbox Series X. The console is said to be a fully digital design and the most powerful X console ever, delivering 4K Gen9 console gaming performance with increased internal storage, a faster networking solution (Wi-Fi), a more power efficient design, and all in a $499 US price point.
The Xbox Series X Refresh will come in 2 TB flavors at launch and offer USB-C front panel power delivery, WIFI 6E, Bluetooth 5.2and reduced PSU power by up to 15% which is thanks to a 6nm die shrink of its SOC.
For the Xbox Series S Refresh, Microsoft is working on Project Ellewood which will share a similar rectangular and slim design as the existing Xbox Series S console with increased internal storage of up to 1 TB, a new and more immersive controller, and the same low price point of $299 US. Xbox Series S Refresh will be outfitted with a new southbridge (PCH) that will enable modern IO such as WIFI 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and it also features a new low-power standby mode which is 20% efficient.
The Xbox Series S Refresh will launch first around Q3 2024
