Things can change but this is the current planned roadmap for Xbox mid-gen refresh hardware as part of a whoopsie from the FTC documents with files attached.

The update appears to be an all digital design

Comparison table between the updated Xbox Series S, the updated Xbox X, and the updated controller

The Xbox refresh features a round design and doesn't appear to have a disk drive, but does have a USB-C port in front

The updated controller is bi-chromatic and features lift to wake

The updated Series S launches August 2025, t updated Series X launches October 2025

There is a new chipset design that features ARM processors and an AMD license

The controller continues being a prime example of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Disagree somewhat. They need to put hall sensors in the controller so that precision is improved and drift is a thing of the past. I would also like better YBAX buttons as I find button presses arent registered 100% of the time. Also the vibration motors rattle so having a haptic type feature without spinning vibrators would be nice.

This holds true (for me) across various series controllers including the elite 2.
