Update 09/26/22: After a Logitech commercial seemed to show a white Xbox Series X model, Microsoft has confirmed that no such edition is being made.
In a statement to IGN, a spokesperson said: “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.”
Logitech told The Verge that the console had simply been skinned to match the hardware in the background of the ad.
A white Xbox Series X has been spotted in a new Logitech advert, but it’s unclear if it’s an official colorway.
The console, spotted by VGC, is seen in the background of an advert for the Astro A30 wireless headset but has not been promoted anywhere else.
The scene itself depicts several consoles and peripherals placed on shelves… but it’s unclear whether this is a real, upcoming version of the console or simply a custom version made for this advert.

Other than special editions, such as the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X, the Series X has only been available in black since its launch in November 2020.
However, the white (or two-tone) style of the recently released Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller may well hint that a white Xbox is coming… or it just looks the part whether you’re playing on Xbox Series X or S. Either way, the appearance of a white console in the new Logitech advert is intriguing.
We’ve reached out to Microsoft for further information.
The new Xbox Elite Series 2 Core edition launched alongside the Xbox Series X|S September update, which added a new feature for this controller. You can now change the color of the Xbox logo, as well as alter hue and saturation.
Elsewhere, Logitech’s Steam Deck rival, the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld will launch this October and costs just $349.
The G Cloud Gaming Handheld uses Android 11 and comes with Google Play Store pre-installed. Marketed as the first dedicated cloud gaming handheld, the console is capable of using Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now, and can also install additional apps via the Google Play Store, including remote play and video streaming apps.
