Microsoft is preparing a new version of the Xbox Series X console. There will be no revolution

Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 debuted in the fall of 2020. Both devices had a good, even very good start. This is evidenced by the fact that several months after the premiere, buying new consoles in many places around the world is still extremely difficult.

Microsoft and Sony are well aware of this, which is why companies are doing everything in their power to accelerate the production of devices. A few days ago, information appeared on the network

Now more interesting reports are reaching us. a journalist who is one of the best informed people when it comes to Microsoft’s plans, the Redmond company is already working on a refreshed version of the Xbox Series X.

New Xbox Series X coming soon? The changes are supposed to be cosmetic

Brad Sams emphasizes, however, that the changes will be practically invisible from the perspective of the players themselves. In his opinion, Microsoft will focus on improving performance, which is to be ensured by a refreshed chip that connects the processor with the graphics chip. Cooling may also be improved.

I believe this is true […] I know Microsoft has been working on new versions of the chip. Will we see an improvement in performance or will we see anything else? I don’t believe it, but Microsoft is always working on creating cooler and more efficient chips as it cuts down on production costs

says Brad Sams. The journalist also points out that the use of the new chip would reduce the costs associated with the production of the device in the long run.

It is worth recalling that in the middle of last year, Sony decided to launch a slightly refreshed version of the PlayStation 5. Here, the changes were also cosmetic – and even more so than in the case of Microsoft’s alleged plans.

The new PlayStation 5 is just slightly lighter than the model that went on sale on the day of its release. By exactly 300 g. More interesting changes concern the stand attached to the device, the assembly of which was a bane for some users. The stand is now easier to install. The manufacturer also used another screw, which no longer requires a screwdriver.
