Thanks to new documents that have come to light due to the ongoing FTC vs. Microsoft case, we know that Microsoft plans to release a new version of its Xbox Series X console in 2024 with an all-new design and features.
Codenamed in the document as Brooklin, the new Xbox Series X design is a digital-only console with a circular design, 2TB of storage, a USB-C front port with power delivery, and a more immersive controller, referenced as Sebile.
According to the documents, the new controller is still set to be announced sometime within 2023 and will come in a two-tone colour scheme with an accelerometer for gyro support.
The controller is set to support Bluetooth 5.2 and a direct connection to the cloud, which ties in with some leaked emails, revealing that Microsoft is working hard to bring PC games to its existing Xbox Cloud Gaming service sometime in the future.
Sebile will also have precision haptic feedback, quieter buttons and thumbsticks, a rechargeable and swappable battery, and modular thumbsticks.
Then, for the new Xbox Series X, Microsoft looks to be adding Wi-Fi 6E support, a Bluetooth 5.2 radio, and reducing PSU power by 15%.
According to the document, this digital-only console will aim for a launch price that coincides with its existing Xbox Series X console and will have a planned launch date of November 2024.
Also, in this document, Microsoft lists a roadmap for the new Xbox Series X, controller and a refresh of the Xbox Series S, codenamed Ellewood, which will come with extra storage, Wi-Fi 6E support and Bluetooth 5.2.
