Microsoft working on a cheaper version of Xbox Series X, leaked documents reveal

Microsoft is apparently working on a less powerful version of its next-generation Xbox console, leaked documents suggest. The documents, shared a security researcher who goes by the name of TitleOS on Twitter, shared screenshots from the XDK/GDK release notes for June 2020 that mention “Lockhart.”

For those who are not aware, Lockhart is said to be a cheaper and less powerful version of Xbox Series X, Microsoft’s upcoming game console. Interestingly, the notes also include a reference to “Anaconda” – the codename for the Series X.

Obviously, Microsoft has not revealed any details related to the so-called Xbox Series S but rumours of a cheaper alternative to Xbox Series X aren’t new. In fact, we have been hearing about the Lockhart for the past year or so.
