Microsoft plans to reveal Xbox Lockhart model in August

Microsoft has two next-gen Xbox systems in the works. It has spent months detailing the powerful Xbox Series X, but it isn’t talking about the second system at all. As more next-gen Xbox hardware and software gets out into the hands of developers, however, more evidence is building to support the existence of the second system, which has the codename Xbox Lockhart. And Microsoft’s current plan is to debut Lockhart in August, according to a Tom Phillips report out of Eurogamer that GamesBeat can independently corroborate through our own sources.

What is Xbox Lockhart? It’s a next-gen Xbox, according to people familiar with the project. But unlike the Xbox Series X, it doesn’t come with a massive leap in graphical power. But it will play all of the same games as the Xbox Series X. Beyond that, the specifics are more difficult to pin down. Various reports suggest it may have a similar CPU, SSD, and memory profile to the Xbox Series X, but Microsoft will have to confirm that itself.
