Xbox One S All Digital Edition? The first console without support for physical games may be just around the corner
Table of contents:
One of the rumors that appeared in 2018 referred to a possible Xbox intended entirely for digital gaming. A possibility that could translate into a machine that would dispense with the UHD Blu-ray reader, something we had not seen before in the current generation
It may seem strange, but it is the logical move, especially now that Xbox Game Pass is stronger than ever, offering a catalog of more than interesting games in digital format. An _online_ game system that has an evolution in Xbox All Access.And Regarding the Xbox without a UHD Blu-ray reader, there is new data
As they say in Windows Central, what we once knew as Xbox Maverick, would now have been renamed as Xbox One S All-Digital EditionIt would be a variant of the Xbox One S that we all know, and with the exception of the reader unit for physical support, it would maintain the rest of the specifications.
The latest rumors speak of a launch that would be immediate, so much so that there is talk of a launch throughout the spring of 2019. Some even speak of April 2019, so we would be facing an immediate launch. It is even rumored with a global launch.
The future is digital for Microsoft
It is to be expected that the catalog of digital games will gradually increase, so any user with a powerful internet connection could see in this proposal an interesting option to make the leap to Xbox GamePass.It would perhaps be a cheaper console, by doing without a Blu-ray reader, focused on the digital world.
Besides, at Microsoft they might even be thinking of a new variant, at least as far as design is concerned. It would be a Fortnite Edition console with a special design focused on the successful game. A console also without physical game support, of which it is not known if it would be based on the Xbox One S or the Xbox One X.
