![]() This second console may also be called Xbox Series S and is expected to target 1080p / 1440p gaming. Microsoft is rumored to be preparing to unveil this second Xbox next month, after reports suggested the company originally planned to reveal its existence in June. Codenamed “Lockhart,” this second Xbox is likely to form a big part of Microsoft’s pricing approach for its next-gen Xbox plans. The software maker is also expected to launch a cheaper, less powerful next-gen Xbox. Microsoft is planning to continue its Xbox All Access subscriptions for the Xbox Series X launch later this year, offering subscribers an opportunity to upgrade to the new console. Reports have suggested sales were strong for this particular console, and Microsoft even bundled it as part of the $19.99 monthly Xbox All Access subscription that includes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate access. If youre trying to play a Nintendo or PlayStation game, itll be a lot more difficult, and in a field Im not qualified to answer. The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition was only launched in April last year, as a disc-less version of the Xbox One S. Designed as “the world’s most powerful console” at the time, Microsoft focused on power and hardware for its 6 teraflop Xbox One X. Microsoft first introduced the Xbox One X back in November 2017. The Xbox One S will continue to be manufactured. “Gamers can check with their local retailers for more details on Xbox One hardware availability,” says a Microsoft spokesperson. While production is ending on the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S digital edition, it’s likely that stock for some retailers will still be available in the coming months. Reports of Xbox One X and Xbox One S shortages have surfaced in recent weeks, and there has been an increased demand in Microsoft and Sony’s current-gen consoles during the pandemic. “Xbox One S will continue to be manufactured and sold globally.” “As we ramp into the future with Xbox Series X, we’re taking the natural step of stopping production on Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition,” says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. One has to wonder had Sony also bit the bullet and stopped PS4 production back in 2020 would the PS5 supply be any better today, like the Xbox One has done for the Xbox Series X/S.Microsoft is officially halting production of its Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition consoles. ![]() While the Xbox Series X remains pretty hard to find, Xbox Series S supply has pretty much kept up with demand, with the Xbox Series X/S combined becoming the fastest-selling Xbox consoles in the company's history. Microsoft's decision to quietly pull its Xbox One production has seemed to pay off pretty well for the company. The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has stunted electronics manufacturing across the board, especially those involving microchips, and since the PS4 uses less advanced technology, it is generally an easier console to make, according to the Bloomberg article. Although Sony considered discontinuing the PS4 at the end of 2021 as the unrest from players who want a PS5 kept mounting, ultimately Sony decided to continue production of the PS4. This announcement follows a new Bloomberg report suggesting Sony and PlayStation taking the exact opposite approach in dealing with its supply issues. By the end of its life though, in thanks to initiatives like Xbox Play Anywhere, the tremendous backwards compatability library, and upgrades of the Xbox One X/S, the console was considered redeemed to many. Furthermore, the choice to pack every console with a Kinect, Xbox's motion gameplay camera from that time, made the entry price much higher than the PS4, in turn setting Microsoft up for a game of catch up. At the beginning of its life, the Xbox One seemed to have different priorities than what players expected, controversially being marketed as an "all-in-one" experience for the living room and almost having an always-online cavieat. In many ways, the Xbox One is the quintessential video game comeback story. Despite still ending its Xbox One X production before the Series X/S' arrival, Microsoft apparently pulled the manufacturing plug on all of its Xbox One consoles back in 2020. If it doesn’t, continue to the next step. If the console powers up successfully, you’re good to go. Check the light on the power supply unit to see if it is still on: If the LED is still on, press the Xbox button on the front of the Xbox One console. ![]() The Xbox One had a rocky start but ended the previous console generation as an innovative and well-rounded machine.
