Microsoft surprised everyone with a teaser announcement of its upcoming Xbox Serial X late concluding year. We didn't get much aside from the name and a render of the monolithic case, but now a Twitter user has posted what appear to be existent photos of the upcoming game console, complete with a Microsoft serial number on the rear.

On the surface, the device in these images does indeed expect like the one Microsoft showed off at the 2019 Game Awards. It'due south a black box well-nigh twice as alpine every bit it is wide with a slot on the front, presumably for the disc drive. At that place's a small button above the slot that ought to eject discs. Microsoft's original render had a controller leaning against the case, blocking the lower right corner. In the new leak, we can see a USB-A port and some other button downwardly there. We're going to assume that's the power button.

Microsoft didn't show us the backside of its console at the Game Awards, but the new leak shows a total array of ports, including a head-scratcher. There's an HDMI, optical jack, power, ethernet, and two more USB-A ports (high-speed). Sadly, there aren't whatsoever USB-C ports to be found, at least non on this alleged paradigm. Interestingly, there'due south also a sizeable rectangular port adjacent to the HDMI. Information technology doesn't look like annihilation on the current Xbox consoles, suggesting Microsoft is planning some sort of proprietary add-on, peradventure a new Kinect or VR headset. (It'southward also possible this is a debugging port and will be removed from the final organisation -Ed).

The back of the leaked console also sports a label identifying information technology as a prototype that is non for auction. Higher up that, the label includes the text "Xbox Product Name Placeholder." It would be reasonably easy to fake all of this, but there'southward as well a serial number on that label that lends credence to the leak. You tin enter that number on Microsoft's website and register it with your account. It appears every bit a generic device called "Non-specificNon-specific." This is not a typo. And then, information technology seems like this is a legitimate Microsoft serial number for an unannounced production.

The Twitter business relationship that posted the images hasn't provided any boosted data about the device, and no one knows who the person might be. They've merely tweeted a few times in the last few years, commonly about Xbox-related news. However, this is an early leak of what looks like nearly final hardware. With the predictable E3 unveiling nevertheless months away, at that place could be many leaks betwixt now then.
