Which Xbox console was Microsoft's first model without an optical disc drive?

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition was Microsoft's first Xbox console without an optical disc drive.

Microsoft announced the console in April 2019 and released it on May 7, 2019. It retained the compact white design of the standard Xbox One S but removed the drive used for game discs and Blu-ray movies. Instead, owners downloaded games through the Microsoft Store or played eligible titles from digital libraries.

The console included a 1 TB hard drive and supported digital versions of games such as Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3, and Sea of Thieves in its launch bundle. Its US launch price was $249.99, making it cheaper than the disc-equipped Xbox One S at the time.

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is sometimes confused with the Xbox Series S. The Series S also lacks a disc drive, but it belongs to the Xbox Series generation launched in 2020 and uses newer hardware. The All-Digital Edition remained an Xbox One family console.
