Leak Reveals White Disc-Less Xbox Series X From Microsoft: Report

Leaked images have popped up online showing a white version of the Xbox Series X, and it seems like it won't have a disc drive.

These pictures, first shared by Exputer (via IGN), reveal a console that looks quite similar to the white Xbox Series S, complete with a unique coating. Reports also suggest that this version will have some souped-up parts, like a different heatsink.

The Verge chimed in, confirming that the images seem legitimate by matching them with documents detailing the console's specs.

Insider Brad Sams has added to the buzz, hinting that the white Xbox Series X will likely keep the same design as its black counterpart, meaning no major changes under the hood.

It looks like the cooling/chassis is identical on the new white series X without the disc drive which would indicate that there is no spec bump https://t.co/6YAVFQjXKx pic.twitter.com/QEF138ehPf

It's expected to hit the shelves sometime in June or July, and it might cost less than the standard black Xbox Series X.

Last year, some leaks hinted at Microsoft Corp's MSFT plans for a mid-generation refresh for both the Series S and X consoles, dubbed Ellewood and Brooklin, which were said to be digital-only versions. But things seem to have shifted, with the white Series X possibly taking part in this refresh, shaking up the earlier timeline.

Furthermore, there's talk about Microsoft working on an Xbox handheld (with Spencer recently sharing what his ideal handheld device would be like), along with confirmation that they're cooking up a next-gen console.
