A low Price Xbox One S is coming without CD drive

Microsoft will release the Xbox One S game console without a floppy drive, which will cost gamers $ 100 less. Reports the edition about it with reference to the Thurrott resource.

The fact is that the optical drive Blu-Ray is not cheap, and the rejection of it will reduce the price of a game console. In addition, owners of physical disks with games who want to purchase a new console will be able to exchange disks for codes for downloading already purchased games in digital format.

According to preliminary information, Microsoft will also release a budget version of the Xbox One S, which will be equipped with an optical drive but will still be cheaper than the flagship.

According to the information that foreign journalists spread, this will happen in 2019.

The Thurrott edition reported that in 2019, the American corporation Microsoft will release the Xbox One console without a floppy drive. Earlier, the same publication reported that Microsoft is preparing a new console called Scarlett.

The new console will be needed by developers in order to check the market interest in rejecting disks. Also, due to the absence of a disk drive, the console will be cheaper by a hundred dollars. In addition, Microsoft will allow exchanging disks with games for their digital copies. This will allow not to lose access to the already accumulated library of games. The console will be launched in 2019, and a new generation of devices is expected in 2020.

The abandonment of the drive in addition to the cost reduction also has a different background. An increasing number of gamers are buying no more physical versions of the games at all, but loading all titles directly from the Xbox Marketplace.

Of course, Microsoft saves but above all cost and the device, it should be so planned, they probably offer at a cheaper price than is the case so far. He should be under 200 euros. In addition, a new version of the Xbox One S is in the making, which continues to rely on a drive. It should appear after the pure disk model.
