Reports suggest that Microsoft is planning to launch a new version of the Xbox Series X console in the coming months, featuring a design without a disk drive. The new console is said to be available in a sleek white color, marking a departure from the traditional black design. This information was initially revealed in court documents, and has since been corroborated by leaked images obtained by game website Exputer.
Exputer claims to have exclusive images of the upcoming disk drive-less Xbox Series X, showcasing the new white color scheme. Sources indicate that the new console will also feature an improved heatsink and Nexus power supply, although specifics on these upgrades have not been disclosed. Despite the leaked images, Exputer has chosen not to release them to the public.
Last year, court documents hinted at the possibility of a disk drive-less Xbox Series X, describing a version with a cylindrical shape as opposed to the current rectangular design. The documents also suggested an October release date, in contrast to the rumored June or July launch window. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer later clarified that the information in the documents was outdated, emphasizing that significant changes had been made to the console since then.
It remains to be seen how this new iteration of the Xbox Series X will be received by consumers. The absence of a disk drive may appeal to those who prefer digital downloads or streaming services for their gaming needs, while the updated design and hardware enhancements could attract a wider audience. Microsoft has yet to officially confirm or announce the details of the new console, so fans will have to wait for further updates on this exciting development.
