Xbox announced three new consoles during its Games Showcase event at the weekend.

There are two new Xbox Series X models, one without a disc-drive, the other with double the storage, and a new Xbox Series S is coming with a 1TB SSD. There’s no sign (nor likelihood) of an Xbox Series X Pro, though.

Those following the last few months ofXbox Series X Pro rumoursmight be disappointed to learn thatMicrosofthas no plans to release a mid-generation upgrade to its existing console line-up.

It has instead announced three newXbox Series XandXbox Series Svariants coming in time for the “holidays” with larger storage space and/or tweaked design. One, in fact, takes something away.

Announced during theXbox Games Showcaseas part of Summer Game Fest, the All-Digital Xbox Series X comes in “Robot White” and has the same 1TB of SSD storage as the original model. However, it ditches the disc drive, with a slight saving on price.

This, it turns out, was the all-digital consolemany reported as an Xbox Series X Proa little while ago.

Also joining the lineup are a 1TB version of the Xbox Series S, which almost doubles the SSD capacity to 1TB over the current model, and a 2TB version of the Xbox Series X with a star-spattered design called “Galaxy Black”.

The existing consoles will remain on the market too, making for an impressive range of alternatives depending on customers' budgets.

As from the forthcoming holiday season, you can get an Xbox then from £249.99 / $299.99 to $599.99 (expected to be £549.99 in the UK).

What you’re unlikely to now get is an Xbox Series X Pro or anything that resembles the circularXbox “Brooklin” leaked last year.

Speaking during the Games Showcase presentation, Xbox’s president, Sarah Bond, unveiled the trio of new models but also hinted that the company is concentrating on a next-gen machine rather than a mid-gen refresh.

“This is what defines Xbox today and in the future, and we’re hard at work on the next generation.”

This suggests we’ll have to wait a while for an Xbox Series X follow-up, although better news is that whatever comes next will at least be backward compatible once more.

The ball’s now inPlayStation’s court.
