We continue to build out Game Pass, now with more than 10 million members across Xbox console and PC. We're previewing Project xCloud in 15 countries so gamers can play games with their friends on any device. And we're working hard on the next-generation of console gaming with Xbox Series X—the fastest, most powerful console we've ever built which includes backward compatibility with thousands of Xbox games and all Xbox One accessories. As we ramp into the future with Xbox Series X, we're taking the natural step of stopping production on Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition.

Microsoft cited the development of its next-gen game console, the Xbox Series X, as well as continued support for digital services like Xbox Game Pass and XCloud as reasons for ending production on the One X and One S digital.
Previously, the Xbox One X was deemed Microsoft's most powerful console, capable of rendering graphics in native 4K while uprezzing older games. IGN reviewed the Xbox One X and awarded the system a 9 writing, "The Xbox One X is a very impressive collection of hardware crammed into a sleek case. It runs cool and quiet as it delivers performance a step above any of its console competitors."
