Earlier today at the Xbox Games Showcase, Xbox’s Sarah Bond appeared on stage for a pretty special announcement. The company has the Xbox Series X Digital releasing later this year, an exclusively digital take on its more expensive and more powerful current-gen console, which comes in either 1TB or 2TB variants.
Additionally, there’s a new model of the Xbox Series S out later this year, and this will also boast 1TB of storage space. This is a considerable upgrade on the current Xbox Series S model, which should make it function as a brilliant Game Pass machine.
Right now, we don’t have a release date for the new Xbox hardware beyond some point later this year. However, it’s a safe bet that Xbox will launch the hardware well before the Holiday period rolls around, so look for it to arrive at some point in October or November, at a very estimated guess.
Additionally, Bond said Xbox is “hard at work on the next generation” of gaming consoles. It goes without saying that we have very, very little detail on this new hardware, as this is about the first time Xbox has acknowledged it on a stage like this, but it’s good to know nonetheless.
So yes, Xbox is still working on new consoles, and isn’t suddenly about to abandon its hardware. That’s very much been speculation over the last few years, as the gap between PS5 and Xbox Series X/S sales has widened, but this will no doubt be good news to Xbox fans around the world who hope the manufacturer stays in the console space to compete with PlayStation and, less directly, Nintendo.
