A new, all-digital Xbox Series X will be available for purchase this summer, according to a gaming website that claims to have received confidential footage of the new system from Microsoft but cannot share it “due to the secrecy of the matter.” The new console will reportedly feature a white design, echoing the all-digital Xbox Series S, as well as new improvements, including a better heat sink.
Expected release date and pricing speculation:
- Somewhere between June and July this year
- $50-$100 lower than the MSRP of the Xbox Series X with 1 TB of storage
Reported improvements include:
- An improved heatsink
- An upgraded “Nexus card”
Current Xbox options include:

- Xbox Series S ($299.99 MSRP)
