Xbox Series X patent reveals cheaper model to rival PS5 Digital Edition

We thought nosotros knew pretty much everything that the Xbox Series X had in store for us. However, Microsoft might be preparing to surprise us with an announcement of an alternative cheaper model — potentially the elusive Project Lockheart.

An application to the USPTO to trademark "Xbox Serial" (note that there's no 'Ten' on the end of that) was found by Generación Xbox (via Inverse). This has added fuel to speculations that Microsoft is working on more than next-gen consoles than simply the Xbox Series X nosotros've seen already.

• Xbox Series Ten release appointment, cost, pre-order, controller and more
• Check out the best gaming headsets
• Plus: PS5 toll won't exist more than $500, says former Xbox boss

We've seen evidence of this before. An awarding to trademark the Xbox Series X logo shows the word 'serial' arranged vertically, side by side to but separated from a big "10." This means it would theoretically be very easy to swap the letter out for a different one for other versions of the console.

Another key slice of information to consider is the rumor of "Project Lockheart,"  a lower-powered Xbox that will sell for far cheaper than either the Series Ten or the PS5. Information technology may still outperform the Xbox Ane and PS4 with a rumored 4 teraflop GPU though, and will be compatible with the same games as the Serial X, making it an ideal entry signal for gamers on a budget.

We know that there will be a PS5 Digital Edition to rival a cheaper Series X, should it exist. Ironically, in that location were no rumors of a download-only console coming from Sony. However its being makes sense given how mutual downloading games has become, and the expense that attaching a Blu-ray drive adds. Nosotros don't yet know the price of either the standard PS5 or its digital-only model.

We'll know for certain if there are any other Xbox models planned when the Series X and PS5 launch in November. But in advance of that, both camps are property several online declaration events over the summer, with Microsoft slated to reveal some major new exclusives in July.
