Microsoft confirms it has ceased production of the original Xbox One

30 Aug 2017

The manufacture of the original Xbox One has officially been ceased, Microsoft has confirmed.

“As is typical for the console industry, we stopped manufacturing the original Xbox One when we introduced Xbox One S,” a Microsoft representative said in a statement to Glixel.

Suggestions that manufacturing had ceased began earlier in the week.

The Xbox One S is now the console’s baseline, capable of 4K upscaling and HDR. The true 4K-capable Xbox One X heads to store shelves in November of this year.

Time to pour one out for the original Xbox One?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
