Brooklin is the codename for an upcoming hardware refresh of the Xbox Series X that is expected to be announced some time in 2024 and then released around October to November of the same year.[1]
Knowledge of the existence of this console first emerged on September 19, 2023 after several documents from 2022 relating to the FTC v. Microsoft trial appeared online. These documents included details on unannounced hardware that Microsoft plans on releasing before the end of 2030.[2]
Brooklin is an all-digital console, with slightly improved specs when compared to the standard Xbox Series X. The console will include 2TB of storage and retail for $499, the same price as the Xbox Series X. The console will be bundled with a new Xbox controller.[3][4]
Specifications[]
With the current information available, it is believed that Brooklin will include mostly the same specifications as the standard Xbox Series X, resulting in no major differences in performances between the two consoles. However, the refresh will include several updated technologies including Wi-FI 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 6mn die shrink. Additionally, new components on the motherboard of the console will be included in order to modernize the IO and sustainability efforts.[5]
The console's power supply unit power has been reduced by 15%, with additional improvements leading to the console's low power mode consuming only 20% of the power that the standard Xbox Series X consumes in this mode.
Brooklin does not include a disc drive, making it the third Xbox console to lack such feature. This means that the console is not capable of playing any physical media, with digital downloads being the only way to gain access to new games.
The following are all of the specifications for Brooklin that could be found in the leaked FTC document. It is important to note that this information could no longer be accurate as the leaked document is several years old and details are likely to change before any official announcement.[1]
GPU Teraflops | 12 teraflops |
Target resolution | 4K |
RAM | 16GB |
Physical storage | 1TB/2TB |
Content delivery | Digital downloads |
Connectivity | Xbox Wireless 2, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, |
Design[]
The console includes a design similar to that of the Xbox Series X, but with several changes, the most notable being the cylindrical design[6]. The power button has been moved from the top of the console to the bottom. Below it sits the pair controller button and a USB-C port. If the design of the console remains unchanged from the leaked document, Brooklin will be the first Xbox console to include a USB-C port.[7]
According to the same previously mentioned document, the amount of post-consumer materials used in the console's housing has been increased to 30%. Additionally, the console's packaging is aiming to be 100% recyclable.[8]
