- An accidentally unredacted file has revealed Microsoft’s refreshed Xbox consoles.
- The documents detail Microsoft’s refreshed Xbox Series S, Series X, and controller.
- It looks like the new Series X console will drop a disc drive as well.
It’s not uncommon for console manufacturers to reveal a refreshed model in the middle of a generation, featuring a different design and/or smaller chips for improved thermals. However, an unredacted legal filing has given us a detailed look at Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Series S and Series X refreshes.
The FTC uploaded unredacted documents from Microsoft (h/t: ResetEra), showing off the refreshed Xbox Series S (codenamed Ellewood) and a refreshed Xbox Series X (codenamed Brooklin). The documents have since been redacted, but not before X users and media outlets grabbed images.
