The ongoing FTC vs Microsoft hearings have delivered a hugely detailed leak of Xbox’ plans for a mid-generation refresh for the Series S and X consoles, and the launch of a new universal controller next year.
2024 Xbox Hardware Launch Timeline
Sebile - The New Xbox Universal Controller
The new controller, codenamed “Sebile” will launch in June 2024 at $70. The two tone controller will feature Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, accelerometer, and gyroscope, VCA haptics that double as speakers, and will launch with a new mobile app feature to aid in seamless pairing with any device that can play or stream Xbox games.
Ellewood - The Series S Re-Refresh
Despite having just been “refreshed”, the Series S console gets another update in August next year. Ellewood looks like it includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth improvements, a more sustainable housing, and now includes the new Sebile controller. It will launch at the same current Series S MRP of $299
Brooklin - The Series X Refresh
By far the biggest change is coming to the Series X console. The new 2TB all digital console looks to be redesigned into a cylindrical shell. In addition to the same updated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and new controller as the Series S, the new Series X also has a USB-C front port and reduced power draw. It will launch priced at $499.
