Microsoft’s current-generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The smaller and less expensive Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive, while the larger and more powerful Xbox Series X has one that can run games and video discs up to Ultra 4K resolution. has a disk drive.
But if the new rumor is true, Microsoft is working on a new version of the Xbox Series X without a disc drive. The rumor was last mentioned on a piece of the XboxEra Podcast.
In the video, Nick Baker claimed to have heard from several sources that Microsoft is working on a digital-only Series X, meaning we might see a model without a disk drive. However, he did not give details about when the new model will be released or any other details. If that’s true, the design of the new version is likely to be smaller than the current Xbox Series X. We can also expect it to be cheaper than the current model. Baker also claims that Microsoft’s Xbox team has plans for other hardware in 2025. Baker didn’t go into any details about what this hardware might look like.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard reports that Microsoft is working on other devices like the Xbox console alongside the current generation Series X and S products. In 2021, the company confirmed it was working on an Xbox TV streaming stick codenamed Keystone that would allow owners to play Xbox and PC games over the cloud. However, this project was later shelved.
