Microsoft officially announced a new Xbox One SKU today. It's called the 1TB Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, or the Xbox One SAD Edition if you're feeling cheeky. As you may have already gathered from the name, there is no optical drive included on this Xbox One.

It was previously mentioned that the Xbox One X version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds would run at 60fps. PlayerUnknown himself quickly took to Twitter to clarify that this is not the case. All Xbox One platforms will run at 30fps, be it the Xbox One, Xbox One S, or the Xbox One X.
