Rumors and leaks about the PS5 Pro and Switch 2 are the order of the day. Which gives rise to a more than reasonable question. What about Xbox? We know that they have several ideas in hand, including the possibility of launching their own portable system. But one thing is clear: in 2023 Microsoft redoubled its commitment to the Xbox Series S by launching a Carbon Black model with 1TB storage. An update that, according to several reports, He will also receive his black beast.
The essentials: several images of a new Xbox Series X model totally white have been appearing recently. The big change with respect to what we already know happens through the disappearance of your disc player, becoming a completely digital desktop. Something that, on the other hand, and according to media reports such as Insider Gaming o Extrude would be reflected in the price. Now, this last source also indicates that this review has been used to update components like the heat sink.
Simple rumors or something more? During the Activision Blizzard acquisition process, Microsoft slides were leaked to launch una Xbox Series X 100% digital in 2024 with double the storage (2TB) and the same price as the version with reader, adding a front USB-C port, compatibility with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Faced with this, Phil Spencer confirmed and assumed this leak and not long after the Xbox Series S review was made official and it was launched in 2023 as suggested in it.
Needless to say, despite the above, Microsoft has not announced, clarified or confirmed the leak of the new images of this white Xbox Series That unifies the community of console, PC or cloud gaming players. Above all, for current and future subscribers of a Game Pass that has become the company’s workhorse.
On the other hand, and this is essential, we know that Xbox will not turn its back on the physical format, but Phil Spencer himself recognizes the brutal trend towards digital. Which gives a lot of sense and a huge purpose to launching an Xbox Series X without a reader.
“We release games physically and digitally, and we’re really following what customers are doing. And I think our job running Xbox is to deliver on the things that most customers want. And right now, most of our customers are buying games digitally.

The review of the Xbox Series S arrived in summer, although in the end the release calendar is usually taken into account to cover any hardware release. And this year there will be many dates to keep an eye on with Indiana Jones, Hellblade II or Avowed. Above all, when these three, plus those to be announced, will reach the launch Pass.
