Microsoft denies rumors that it’s working on an Xbox One Mini
M

A rumor started going around earlier this week which claimed that there’s an Xbox One Mini in the works that will be ditching the ability to play Blu-ray discs in exchange for being about a third of the size of the current Xbox One, as well as being much quieter. Many people were skeptical about this because it’s way too early for Microsoft to be thinking about a slimmer version of the Xbox One, and they were right. Xbox chief Phil Spencer himself took to Twitter yesterday to deny the rumor.

Rumours of a new, slimmer model of the Xbox One console appear to be wide of the mark, according to Microsoft’s Xbox chief. It was reported last week that Microsoft would announce such a new model of the Xbox One in October, alongside a host of other new Windows 10-related devices. However, the Xbox One isn’t quite ready for such a ‘Mini’ revamp, it seems. Responding to such rumours, Microsoft’s head of Xbox Phil Spencer tweeted: “Not real.” It’s common for games consoles to receive iterative updates after a few years of existence, as manufacturing methods improve and components grow cheaper to make. It had been suggested that this so-called Xbox One Mini would be roughly a third of the size of the current model, as well as quieter. Apparently, it would also drop the ability to play Blu-ray discs. Spencer’s brief but categorical comments seem to suggest that such an Xbox One Mini isn’t even in production, let alone ready for an October unveiling.
