More FTC v. Microsoft documents have recently leaked (via The Verge), and one of the most surprising news of all is that Microsoft is planning to release a new Xbox Series X model and controller designs in 2024.

Codenamed Brooklin, the new Xbox Series X design looks more circular than the current console and it will ship without a disc drive. It will have 2TB of storage (up from 1TB) and a USB-C front port with power delivery.

They are also adding Wi-Fi 6E support, Bluetooth 5.2 radio, and the company is shrinking the existing die to 6nm “for improve efficiency.” The PSU power will be reduced by 15 percent and they are targeting the same US$499 launch price.

The new Xbox controller, codenamed Sebile, is set to be announced later this year and will include an accelerometer for gyro support. It has a two-tone colour scheme and will support a direct connection to the cloud, Bluetooth 5.2, and a presumably updated “Xbox Wireless 2” connection. There will also apparently be “precision haptic feedback” and “VCA haptics double as speakers” for the controller. It will also feature quieter buttons and thumbsticks, a rechargeable and swappable battery, modular thumbsticks, and you’ll be able to lift it up to wake it.

The documents also mention a refreshed Xbox Series S with 1TB of storage with Wi-Fi 6E support and Bluetooth 5.2, which will also include this new Xbox controller.

According to the same documents, Microsoft is tentatively planning to launch this new Xbox Series S refresh in September 2024 and the new Xbox Series X refresh in November 2024.
