New Xbox Series X Console Rumor Shot Down by Microsoft

Microsoft has shot down recent rumors associated with a new model of the Xbox Series X console. Within the past week, a new commercial from Logitech seemed to suggest that a white version of the Xbox Series X could be releasing at some point in the future. And while this idea is one that excited a number of potential Xbox Series X buyers, Microsoft has now made clear that it has no plans to release a white model of the hardware. 

In a new message given to IGN, a representative from Microsoft quickly shot down these theories and rumors associated with the white Xbox Series X console. "The white Xbox Series X console for the promotional video by our partner is not in production. We have no plans to release the Xbox Series X console in white at this time," Microsoft said on the matter. 

So why was a white Xbox Series X console featured in this commercial if Microsoft isn't making the console in this color? Well, it seems that this decision came directly from Logitech. In a message given to The Verge, Logitech explained that it had altered the color of the Xbox Series X itself to seemingly match the color scheme of the commercial. This ad in question prominently featured white as the primary color and Logitech clearly didn't want the all-black look of the Xbox Series X to disrupt that cohesiveness. As such, the company simply altered the Xbox Series X color to match the aesthetic of the commercials. 

It's obviously worth stressing that we could see a white model of the Xbox Series X come about in the future. Microsoft's statement only stressed that a white version of the console isn't in production "at this time." As time goes forward, it seems more likely that variants of the Xbox Series X will end up releasing. So if you're holding out to purchase a white version of the hardware for yourself, maybe that's something we'll see arrive before too long.

Would you be interested in buying a white version of the Xbox Series X in the future? And do you think that Microsoft will eventually start releasing the console in different colors? Be sure to let me know either down in the comments or message me on Twitter at @MooreMan12.
