It’s all systems go over at Xbox, it seems. It’s been clear for some time now that there’s a definite sense of change in the air.
Back in February, Phil Spencer took to the officialXboxpodcast to announce that the company would be looking to launch some of its former exclusives on other platforms.
A rumour suggesting that the line-up would includeStarfieldwas quicklyproven to be untrue, withPentiment, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, andHi-Fi Rushinstead chosen as the exported games.

Alongside this, it’s rumoured that Xbox’sfirst handheld may be in the works, plus that storefronts including Steam and Epic Games Storecould arrive on the brand’s consoles.
As if all of that wasn’t enough, a new Xbox has now seemingly been discovered. I did say it was all systems go.

Exputer added that they don’t have concrete pricing just yet, but estimated that the console could come in $50-$100 cheaper than the regular disc-tray Series X.
I can definitely see the appeal of this console. Personally, I tend to purchase physical games if I can but that’s an activity I rarely do on Xbox.
Xbox Game Pass offers a stellar array of digital titles including major day one releases. This updated Series X would be perfect for people, like me, who find themselves mostly sampling that selection.

The updated console is also believed to boast an improved heatsink and an upgraded Nexus Card, boosting connectivity.
This mid-gen refresh is not to be confused with Xbox’s next-gen console which is also in the works.
Xbox’s Sarah Bond previously teased that this console would mark “the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation,” on the official Xbox podcast.
As with any leaks and rumours, do take all of this with a pinch of salt. Saying that, all signs do seem to point to a digital Series X arriving soon.
