Not to be outdone by Sony and work on a rumoured PS4.5 (NEO), The Verge today reports that Microsoft is currently testing Xbox One prototypes with upgradeable components similar to those that can improve the “performance of a PC gaming rig.”

This news comes after recent FCC filings have been uncovered that seem to indicate Microsoft is working on two new Xbox One models. One of those is believed to be the equivalent of an Xbox One slim, offering the same functionality as found in the current console, yet in a smaller package.

We’ll have more as it’s uncovered.

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.
