Xbox One S Disc-Less Console that will Reportedly Release in May
As we originally reported last November, rumors were swirling that Microsoft would be looking to release an Xbox One model in 2019 that wouldn’t contain a traditional disc drive. This disc-less Xbox One would be much cheaper than that of the Xbox One S and Xbox One X and would instead allow users to purchase their games in a digital-only format. Now, a new report has emerged that states this new console could be joining the Xbox One family sooner than you might think.
According to a new report from Windows Central, the codenamed “Xbox Maverick” will formally be called the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. It’s a bit of a lengthy name, but it clearly gets the disc-less feature of the console across. Perhaps most surprising is that this report goes on to say that Microsoft is planning on opening pre-orders for the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition in April of this year with a formal release transpiring in early May.
As of now, the report doesn’t list a price of the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition but you’d have to imagine it will be much cheaper than the current models on the market. It’s also still unknown whether or not any other new features will come with the device or if it will simply be identical to an Xbox One S without the disc drive.
Of course, keep in mind per usual with these stories that none of this is confirmed as of this writing. That said, it has seemed likely that Microsoft would opt to test out this disc-less Xbox One, especially with the rise of Xbox Game Pass immediately giving players an expansive library of games to play. With GDC coming up in just a couple of weeks, it might make sense for Microsoft to make an announcement of sorts at the annual event in San Francisco.
With rumors also swirling that Microsoft is set to reveal its next-generation Xbox consoles at E3 2019, it seems like the hardware manufacturer might have a whole lot to share over the coming months. We’ll of course keep you posted as we hear more about this disc-less Xbox and its potential reveal in the future.

This is not a bad idea, I really like it because I buy most of my games on the console, way to save people money tbh.

Two_Faced Sweet, buy an outdated model with less processing power and less hardware from us for just a little bit less than retail on an S lol. Unless this thing is like $80-$100 not worth it. You can get a used S for that. This is a play to gain some more sales really quick before they announce the next gen. Just buy an X you'll thank me later. My S runs like crap compared to my X
Ive never seen a 80$ Xbox OneS let alone something around/under 180$

This is not a next gen console and a next gen console is still likely to be announced at e3.
All of this is still rumors though.

Privileged Do people still use disc anyway?! Lol
I only have 2 Xbox one games on disc the rest digital. But I have a ton of 360 games on disc that are backwards compatable so I still use it for sure.
This console will be for kids who don't have a console yet. That would be my assumption for who is gonna purchase it the most. Holiday sales will probably be great on this thing
