Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) plans a mid-generation update of its Xbox video game consoles in time for the 2024 season, according to documents filed in its filings with the Federal Trade Commission.

The projects named Brooklyn and Ellewood would have existing Series X and S costs of $499 and $299 respectively, according to the documents.
These measures would precede that of a next-generation Xbox in 2028, according to the documents.
