Xbox has officially announced all-digital versions of the Xbox Series X and S consoles, as well as a brand new version of the Xbox Series X console that has 2TBs of harddrive space.

Last year, rumors swirled after “Project Brooklin” was leaked during the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) trial. This project talked about an all-new digital console with faster Wi-Fi, a redesign, and more. However, this announcement seems to be more in line with the traditional console cycle of releasing digital versions halfway through the lifespan rather than an entirely new project. It looks like these digital consoles are a pared-down version of the leaked project.

  • Xbox Series S Digital 1TB in Robot White – $350
  • Xbox Series X Digital 1 TB in Robot White – $450
  • Xbox Series X Special Edition 2 TB in Galaxy Black – $600

The team at Xbox loves to produce trailers for their hardware, so if you’re into looking at new consoles up close in all of their glory, you can take a look at the trailer below.

A dramatic prediction about the future of Xbox has been making the rounds online, claiming the brand could slowly fade away following recent leadership changes. The comments came from Seamus Blackley, often called the father of the original Xbox, who suggested the new leadership could act as a “palliative care doctor” guiding the brand toward a quieter sunset, in an interview with GamesBeat.

Pokemon Red & Pokemon Blue Game Music Collection Game Boy Jukebox

Pokémon nostalgia is having a moment again, and this time it is arriving in the form of a tiny music player that looks straight out of the late 90s. The Pokémon Center has released the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue Game Music Collection Game Boy Jukebox, a collectible device designed to celebrate the iconic soundtrack that helped define the original Game Boy era.

The idea is simple but instantly charming. Instead of streaming the music from an app or playlist, the collection packages classic tracks from Pokémon Red and Blue into a miniature Game Boy-style jukebox. It is the kind of product that feels less like a gadget and more like a piece of gaming history you can put on your desk.
