The design concept shows a slick, white console not too dissimilar to the Xbox Series X design, just a little flatter, alongside the Series X controller, which leaked back in August. It appears to feature a black cooling grill and — according to the video below — will be considerably smaller than the Series X. No disc drive is visible, though a USB drive can be seen on the front.
