Ellewood is the codename for an upcoming hardware refresh of the Xbox Series S that is expected to be announced some time in 2024 before being released in August 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].
Unlike the Xbox Series X hardware refresh that was also leaked within the previously mentioned document, Ellewood is not much different to the regular Xbox Series S. It appears that Ellewood includes the same specs as its predecessor but with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 technologies included[3]. Additionally, Ellewood makes use of a new low-power standby mode and increased use of post-consumer recyclables in the consoles housing to improve on sustainability[4].
The console is said to include 1TB of storage and release for the same $299 price as the standard Xbox Series S[5]. Ellewood will come bundled with a new Xbox controller model that includes an accelerometer, haptic feedback and many other new features[6].
Specifications[]
The following table details the specifications of Ellewood that were included in the leaked FTC documents.
GPU Teraflops | 4 teraflops |
Target resolution | 1440p |
RAM | 10GB |
Physical storage | 512GB, 1TB |
Content Delivery | Digital downloads |
Connectivity | Xbox Wireless 2, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, 3 x USB-A |
Design[]
The console design appears to be identical to that of the regular Xbox Series S, with the only real difference being the replacement of the front USB-A port for a USB-C port. However, despite images of Ellewood seeming to have a USB-C port on the front of the console, specifications of the console make no mention of this port.

It is also possible that the fan grill on the side of the console may be a different color, as shown in the leaked document in the image detailing Xbox's long term goals. Notice that the standard Xbox Series S side grill (shown in a separate image elsewhere in the document) exhibits a notably different color compared to the one featured in the Ellewood image.
