Microsoft is planning is to release mid-generation refreshes of the Xbox Series X and S in 2024, according to a new FTC document spotted by a user on ResetEra.
The refresh of the Xbox Series S has the codename of Ellewood with a late August 2024 release target. It will include 1 TB of storage and launch for $299.
The Xbox Series X refresh has a codename of Brooklin with a late October 2024 release target. It will include 2 TB of storage and launch for $499.
The refreshed Xbox Series X is described as "the most power Xbox ever, now adorably all digital." The leaked image of the console is round and is said to "deliver 4K Gen9 console gaming with more internal storage, faster Wi-Fi, reduced power, a more immersive controller and a beautiful redesign that elevates the all-digital experience of the Xbox ecosystem."
Along with the mid-generation refreshes of the Xbox Series X and S, a new controller has also been leaked that has a target release of June 2024 for $69.99.
The controller will feature haptic feedback and VCA haptics that double as speakers, accelerometer, new modular thumbsticks, and more. There will also be the ability to see paired devices and cloud, as well as manage devices and accessories in the Xbox mobile app.

Heeeell yes gyro, fucking finally
Very much needed in an fps-dominated industry.
Well he really can say they don't have a Pro since well they are even downgrading having it only digital and same power.
"Alexa, play Starfield"
Thats exactly what i was thinking :-D :-D. But its a pretty good design imo.
I was a couple years off on the upgraded controller, but at least it's confirmed now.
Lol a round series x after a square one.
And all digital? Eww.
Who can put an end to physical games?
XCAN
I bet they can't wait to put the trash bin next to their fridge.
Didn't Microsoft say NO mid-gen refreshes?
And in this case, they are well behind Sony who already refreshed the PS5 with a 6-nm die-shrink over a year ago. I do like the look of the Series X refresh, but I wonder about the backlash for having no more physical media support... (doesn't bother me personally, as I am already all-digital, but that would mean NO physical media support for any Xbox at that time)
Controller looks horrible... Not a fan of that two-tone design.
But it packs the features that are sorely missing from current controllers, so it's a win, the colour/design variants that will definitely come out should hopefully look better.
The console itself is... I called it. - That Microsoft should release a digital-only Series X.
Hopefully the current Series X and S gets a revision with the smaller 6nm chip.
And now we just need an external optical drive attachment.
Indeed, Microsoft should release a digital-only Series X, but... this is at the same price as the "normal series X", and i think they can do better than this.
Sure, 2TB is great, but i feel like $399 1TB would be a better option.
And the controller, yup, It's looking Nice ( the features, not the visual, lol). Perhaps now 3° party are going to make some Nice use of Gyro aim, haptic and other features.
It shows both 1tb and 2tb as being listed so there may be a $400 1tb digital x to go with the $500 2tb digital x.
what else is cool is they will offer XDL (xbox design lab) versions of the digital x. You can get your x in custom colors and themes.
Also the most sold PS5 is with disc (probably 75-90% of all sales) while Xbox 75% is Series S that is digital, so yes Xbox seems to be going full digital earlier than Sony.
m$ : wOrLd BeSt cOnTrOlLer.
LMAO so pathetic and so wrong!
Seems like a publishers wet dream.
Yeah, gyro controller, just 11 year to late. Also, its ironic since the next Forza Motorsport will be the last.
I like the design of the Series X refresh.
The new controller looks great with some much needed QoL features.
Disappointed the X isn't condemned Jake.
Omg quieter buttons. My prayers answered!! Lol
Finally Xbox controllers will have gyro standardizing it across all platforms. Assuming the Elite Series 3 controller will have these new features too replacing my original Elite with that should be nice.
