Despite getting off to a rocky start, the Xbox One has made fans of millions of us over the past seven years, providing near-endless enjoyment on a day-to-day basis. It's been a hell of a ride!
But, as is always the case when a new console generation comes along, there's going to come a time when you don't plan to use it anymore, and for some of us that time will arrive on November 10th.
With the release of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, those who have pre-ordered the new consoles will need to think about what to do with their Xbox One, whether it's trading it in, using it in the bedroom as a second console, or even giving it to someone who has never owned an Xbox console before.
So, regardless of when you decide to join the next generation - whether that's next month or still a few years away - what are you planning to do with your Xbox One when that happens? We're interested to know in the comments below.

I sold mine, for 300
I've seen some super cheap xbox one s on kijiji but I'll wait to see what Microsoft offers on black Friday. I might grab one just for an additional controller.
One X as spare and OG One to family member.
It stays in the living room, where it is a big hit since game pass. The xsx gets a nice spot on my desktop, next to the ps4. And since I already have a wireless router, this is the situation for the years to come.
Has 2 One Xs. Sold one and current one will into the bedroom.
As I stated in the Forums, my Project Scorpio edition Xbox One X will be moved to the Bedroom as a second Console and replace my Gears 4 Xbox One S console. My Gears 4 XB1S, like my OG XB1 with Kinect, XB360 Slim with Kinect and Crystal OG Xbox will go into storage.
The PS5 will replace my PS4 Pro which will go to the bedroom to replace my OG PS4 which will go into storage with my other Playstation consoles.
I don't know why I still keep these old consoles as I haven't plugged them in since they were 'retired' from 'bedroom' consoles...
I am going to use mine as a trade-in. I don't need a second console and the Series X can completely replace my Xbox One X.
Same will go for my PS4 Pro towards a PS5.
I gave my one s to a friend. I'm not sure what I will do with the no one x Scorpio edition that was be the first special console I bought
Giving mine to my family member until they get a Series S or X themselves. After that, I'll keep it in the box of D O O M
Storage. As a game collector, the X1X gets retired and added to the collection.
Traded in my One X and PS4 a couple of months ago for a decent price. Covered the cost of a Series S, 3 years of GPU (using the £1 upgrade trick) and a 144hz monitor 🙂
Sacrifice it to the tech gods for some good next gen omens.
I always keep my consoles. I have a Museum in my house, which my wife calls the junk room. As far back as the family's Atari 2600 to Colecovision to my C64 to Nintendo to PS1 to Dreamcast. All kept in storage. My Xbox One S will join in November, but I haven't told it yet.
I'm binning my Fatbox One once I get a Series S. I'll factory reset it and chuck it into the communal bins. Get people rooting through them. They could sell it off themselves after giving it a wipe. Keeping the controllers though.
Only got my Xbox One X in February and won't be getting a Series X till late 2021 (at the earliest) So mine is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Once I get a Series X I will very likely keep it as a secondary console still connected up to the TV...
(I can't see myself selling it)
I hope to buy series x in June, hopefully in my country prices wont be sky high, but I feel like it Will. I already saw internet shops puting it for 1.1k EUR and series S for 750 EUR. Hope to get it for 500 EUR. Not Sure if it Will be possible at that time.
My xbox one s is fairly New, only 8 months, so I Will keep it for kids to play their Lego games. I feel like I Will need an advice if these Two console can live in one household and share the games without need to get game pass for other console.
I give it to my brother.
I'll keep as a second console for the time being. Maybe if I ever decide to watch a Blu Ray again, or until the expanded storage on the next gen consoles is cheaper. Until then, it's a nice entertainment system to have on hand. I find streaming stuff on the One S way easier and more intuitive than any other console.
I'll probably just keep mine and put it into the collection..
My og xbone is living under the bedroom TV for streaming purposes and their it shall remain for the foreseeable future.
I sold my One X for £220 before it devalued when the a series S and X come out. Now without an Xbox to play until I get the Series X 🙈😂
I sold one of my xbox ones the day I pre ordered the series x.
The series x will replace the other xbox one on the main TV and il move it into the bedroom
Am thinking my OG Xbox One will go in the bedroom. Not sure how often I'll use it though!
I have a Series X pre ordered, but I haven’t decided what to do with my One X yet...
@Pi3rc3y I feel your pain. Have an old 360, just finished Thief. Relying on my faithful switch now
I’m giving my One X to my oldest son who’s currently got the OG One, so I think it’s fair to say he’s getting a significant upgrade too. One S will stay in youngest’s bedroom while OG One could go in the kitchen if it’s not sold to a mate.
I always keep my consoles
I never had one as I went Xbox on PC this gen and will do again this gen
My Cyberpunk one will be out for display. The original Xbox One will most likely just be stored away unless i decide to sell it
I'm not really going next-gen (yet, maybe a year or two down the line), but I'll still find uses for my Xbox One.
Plan on getting a PS4 for Christmas. (yes, you can gasp)
Selling it at the end of the month when Series X is near. It's only a one S so I'll sell it for a hundred bucks or something. One console is enough for me.
I will use it to mod an Arcade1up.
When I eventually upgrade to a series x/ps5/both, I'll keep my other systems. Probably in other rooms. It's not like I can move the systems around from room to room. This way I'll have something to play, in each room. Now i just gotta buy some cheap 120hz, HD/4k tvs. First world problems.
"But, as is always the case when a new console generation comes along, there's going to come a time when you don't plan to use it anymore"
Speak for yourself! This may be true for a new generation that offers full backwards compatibility, but I still have original Master System, NES, Mega Drive, SNES, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, PS3 and Wii U consoles connected up at home, along with my Switch, PS4 Pro and Xbone S.
For sale: PS4 launch day edition. Still going strong. Can double up as a hairdryer when needed. £100 ono.
Any takers......no?
It has P.T. still installed on it.....
Okay have changed my mind - its not far sale 🤣
Only got my X1X in Dec so it's not going anywhere soon. Not even sure I will upgrade TBH.
My OG Xbone went to my rommate after getting the 1X. Same will happen again and OG Xbone will go to one of her family members.
I'm going to keep my One X and use as my projector console. I use the HDMI in for anything extra, like a firestick, that I want to project also.
Alongside that, I prefer the optical out for the surround sound. Still a shame that this isn't on the Series X.
Under the bed. You know it will end up there.
Note sure yet:
I pre-ordered a XSX for the living room and an XSS for the bedroom.
Living room XB1X Scorpio will probably be sold
Bedroom XB1X White will probably be sold
XB1OG in the spare room may remain as a Kinect device
Really torn on what to do, I don't need the 2 XB1X consoles as the new consoles will do all I need and the price I get from them will probably be crap now, but is shoving them in the loft a good idea? I could sell and buy xbox store credit for new games. Hmmmmm.
I will be keeping my One S right next to my 360 & my XSX when I get it.
