2024-06-09T15:06:32.465Z(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)Let’s start with the biggest rumor but also potentially most interesting, and that’s the reports that Xbox could be about to reveal an Xbox handheld console.Now, it’s a little farfetched perhaps, but rumors of an Xbox handheld have been doing the rounds for a number of years now.What’s not clear is what kind of form that could take. A mini Series S? An Android powered streaming device? A cloud-based dedicated console? Or a genuine Game Pass powered Steam Deck rival?Now myself and our Hardware Editor, Phil, agree thatif an Xbox handheld finally shows up during the Xbox Games Showcase, we hope it’s not a PlayStation Portalrival. I just want to be able to access my Game Pass games on a plane, train, or anywhere I damn please. Please.

Xbox controller

I personally think it’s pretty unlikely that Xbox announces new hardware today, but hey I’ve been wrong before. I personally would love to see the controller refresh that was detailed in the documents that were leaked as part of the Activision acquisition.

That is said to retain the same design as the current pads, but be quite the upgrade in terms of features. It’ll allegedly have Xbox Wireless 2, Bluetooth 5.2 and Direct-to-Cloud functionality to improve overall connectivity and reduce latency regardless of what you’re connected to.

2024-06-09T15:22:02.845Z(Image credit: Microsoft)According to that report, it’s also supposedly going to include wide “build improvements” and “improved longevity”, with things like new modular thumbsticks, haptic feedback, quieter buttons, and more.The docs had it listed as a May 2024 launch, but seeing as those docs were from May 2022 no doubt things have changed since then.

Xbox FTC leak – Xbox Series X refresh console

According to that report, it’s also supposedly going to include wide “build improvements” and “improved longevity”, with things like new modular thumbsticks, haptic feedback, quieter buttons, and more.

The docs had it listed as a May 2024 launch, but seeing as those docs were from May 2022 no doubt things have changed since then.

2024-06-09T15:30:40.232ZThe report goes though that this snazzy new Universal Controller will be sold standalone but also debut with theXbox Series X refreshthat was also detailed in the leak.(Image credit: Microsoft)The big takeaways from that leak were that it’s going to ditch the chunky cuboid design, and opt for a tall cylindrical shape that completely ditches the disc drive.It’ll still have a power button, pairing button, and USB-C port but it’s unclear how much difference there will be in size between the two from the concept designs alone.We also don’t know what the price difference will be - good or bad. The documents say it’ll be the “same great price”, but again these are from 2022. The RRP of the Xbox Series X is still $499, but if you get a good deal you can get one now for around $399.

So now, we basically just need some games.

Let’s leaveCall of Duty: Black Ops 6out of this chat as we absolutely know it’s getting a full reveal at its dedicated post-show Direct.My personal pick would be to see more ofFable.

2024-06-09T16:31:34.737Z(Image credit: MachineGames)Of course, all eyes will be onIndiana Jones and the Great Circle, which only got fully revealed with its title earlier this year. It’s currently got a loose release window of this fall, but I’d imagine that will get fully confirmed at today’s showcase.In development at MachineGames, the game’s story will take place between the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade movies, around 1937. It’ll start at the iconic Marshall College where Jones teaches, but from there, we’ll be traveling the globe for answers, including the Vatican, Egypt, and the Himalayas.The gameplay looks great - as you’d expect from FPS experts MachineGames - with plenty of stealth and puzzle solving in between taking out Nazis with your gun and whip. While the majority is first-person, the game will also occasionally pull back to third-person to let you take in Indy in his full splendour.
