A new leak has let the cat out of the bag, when it comes to what new hardware Microsoft has in store. Regarding the ongoing Microsoft and FTC court battle over Activision Blizzard, some new classified documents have been leaked. While much of the court document was redacted, certain parts were mistakenly left available for public view, including detailed images and information about upcoming refreshes to the Xbox Series line of consoles.

The leaked roadmap shows that Microsoft plans on releasing a "slim" refresh of the Xbox Series X, with the working name of Project Brooklin. It'll boast more storage, a different physical design, better power usage, a new controller, and some improved internals over the original Xbox Series X. The system will also be digital only.

​

Project Sebile is the codename for the updated Xbox controller, which sees Bluetooth 5.2, a rechargeable battery, modular thumbstick, and an accelerometer, among other things. Also noted within the document is a "Project Ellewood", which will be a 1TB console, with a retail price of $299.99, presumably the upgraded version of the Xbox Series S, featuring more storage, better Wi-Fi, and reduced power consumption. Additionally, "Edith", another codename for what appears to be the Xbox Series S, will be priced at $199 for Black Friday to push sales for the older system. Meanwhile, Microsoft plans to announce the "end of life" for Starkville, though it's not specified for what system that may be.

While things may change, and the document might be out of date by now, as it was originally shown to the FTC in October 2022, the graph shows that Microsoft plans on releasing the new Xbox controller sometime in May or June of 2024, with the announcement of both Project Ellewood and Brooklin to follow shortly after. An actual release timeframe for the Xbox Series S refresh is set for the end of August 2024, and the Xbox Series X refresh to follow shortly at the end of October 2024.

the only reason the xbox is still around is because of gamepass it has fuck all exclusives and zero reason to buy discs so 100% they will and this time the silly xbots will all buy into it. this is what mic was trying to do in the very beginning and now apparently they can get away with it

The Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 are nice upgrades. However, I can't ever support going "all-digital". For the people that pay for GamePass and plow through games like no tomorrow, good on you. There's definitely a market for that, but I don't want the entire industry pushing this to flat-out relace physical media. Physical and digital CAN co-exist. CDs and Blu-ray movies are still selling fine, as an example, despite things like Netflix and Spotify stealing their thunder.

The more I look at this, the more it looks like the 2013 "trash can" Mac Pro to me.

More like X-TUBE, not X-BOX.
X-TUBE sounds wrong somehow....

Yep, they will get away with it because younger generations don't know how fucking shady that company has been for most of its existence.

They already require you to log in and there are games which require to be connected to the internet or you don't get the full experience or they're not even playable at all.

Sad to say it, but customers are A-OK with it now.
