FTC have once again accidentally leaked a ton of internal Microsoft documents which reveal secret hardware and video game roadmaps.
According to one of the leaked slides, Microsoft are working on a new Xbox Series X console, which will be an all-digital device with increased 2TB storage space, a stunning circular design, and a brand new Xbox controller design featuring a gyroscope and haptic feedback.
The price of the console would remain $499 and the release date could be set for October 2024 but take that with a grain of salt as internal release dates often change.
Disc-less Xbox Series X features
- More internal storage (2TB)
- Faster Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6E)
- Reduced power by 15 per cent
- 6nm die shrink for improved efficiency
- New low-power standby mode

Here are some of the key features of the new controller, which comes in a dual colour scheme and various new features that players have been requesting for years.
- New modular thumbstick
- Lift to wake feature
- Precision haptic feedback
- Accelerometer
- Quieter buttons and thumbsticks
- VCA haptics double as speakers

According to the leaked documents, Microsoft are set to officially announce the new hardware in June 2024. We assume they are saving the reveal for their major Xbox Showcase, which usually airs in the month of June.
All in all, it's certainly an exciting time for Xbox fans, who are getting a lot of new hardware and more importantly, a bunch of great games in 2024 including Avowed, Hellblade 2 and more.
