An update to the Xbox Series X and a new controller were accidentally leaked via court documents made public in the legal fight between the USA's FTC and Microsoft regarding the purchase of Activision Blizzard. The main changes are a larger (2TB) internal drive, wi-fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, a 6nm die shrink so the SoC is more power efficient and no more optical disc drive. The controller has a "two-tone color scheme and will support a direct connection to cloud, Bluetooth 5.2, and a presumably updated 'Xbox Wireless 2' connection. Microsoft also lists 'precision haptic feedback' and 'VCA haptics double as speakers' as specs for the controller. It will also have quieter buttons and thumbsticks, a rechargeable and swappable battery, and modular thumbsticks". Both were set for announcement early next year.
