Xbox Lockhart References Discovered in Windows System Folder

In the run up to the official reveal of the Xbox Series X, there was speculation Microsoft is planning a budget Xbox console codenamed "Lockhart" to sit alongside it. As far as Microsoft is concerned, Lockhart isn't a project they are willing to talk about, but references to the name have now been discovered in Windows.

The discovery was made by Twitter user TitleOS (@XB1_HexDecimal), who is a security researcher and Windows reverse engineer. In a tweet on June 1, TitleOS included images of five references to the Xbox-Lockhart name discovered in the Windows/System32 directory. They sit alongside references to Xbox-Anaconda, which is the codename for Xbox Series X
