Xbox Lockhart has been the subject of many leaks and has been confirmed by various and reputable sources. Arguably, it is being developed in Microsoft offices. But any project can be canceled, especially when it has not been presented.
However, according to the Windows Central website, responsible for the accurate leak of the features of the Xbox Series X, console development is progressing well and may soon be available to the public.
Despite the isolation problems, Xbox division staff began testing the console at home, an important step in the design of the console. In December 2019, Phil Spencer announced that he had brought an Xbox Series X home a few days before presenting at the Game Awards.

How designed for XBOX S Series?

A headphone’s cousin
Xbox Series S is not the only Xbox product to operate at Microsoft. The company is also said to be working on a new headset under the Xbox brand.
It will be a wireless headset like the Surface Headphones branding debuted in 2019 but is compatible with the Xbox Wireless protocol used by the Xbox, in addition to Bluetooth.
Microsoft’s goal will be to provide a high-end headset compatible with both mobile devices, PCs and its gaming consoles. A universal helmet in a certain way is probably ideal for mobile gaming with xCloud.
This new product is under development, so we shouldn’t expect a presentation at the May event.
