That this generation still has more console models to show is a reality. The much-talked-about PlayStation 5 Pro that we all already knew about, now adds to it one that, perhaps, we did not expect at the party in this way – according to leaked documents – but that makes perfect sense: a completely digital Xbox Series X.

The publication Exputer has shared some first images of a Xbox Series X without a physical disc drive. Additionally, the other major difference compared to the current version is that this Xbox Series X Digital is white in color. This color change is not a coincidence, as the white used is the same as we can see in the Xbox Series S, Microsoft’s digital console. In other words, the same color is being used to create a consistent range for the digital versions.

Continuing with the information published by Exputer, this Xbox Series X Digital would be released during the next month of June or July. The price at which it would be released would be between 50 and 100 dollars below the Xbox Series X with a disc drive, making it more affordable for everyone.

It is worth noting that this completely digital Xbox Series X is not the console that was leaked in the FTC papers. That model, codenamed Brooklin, was also going to be digital, but the design remained black and cylindrical, instead of the rectangular one we have now. Likewise, this model also included a new version of Xbox Wireless 2, a change that, for now, is not present in this Xbox Series X Digital. The release of Brooklin was scheduled for November of this year, so 2024 was still on the radar.

While we wait for Microsoft to confirm or deny the news, all we can do is wait. However, we can do it by playing Diablo IV on Xbox Game Pass, available since last night.
