Xbox: New console with no disc drive to be released soon, rumours suggest

Microsoft is gearing up to release a new version of the Xbox – with no disc drive, according to rumours. The new console will include the same guts as the Xbox One S. But it will be cheaper because Microsoft will not have to build a drive to take game discs, the reports claim. The disc-less console is thought to be referred to under the codename Xbox Maverick and has been rumoured for months. Leaks have suggested that it could be arriving soon, though there has been little clarity on what it might actually be. We'll tell you what's true. You can form your own view.
