The Xbox Series S Makes Its Debut
Initially, this news came to us from Twitter user @h0x0d, who leaked a trailer for the Xbox Series S. The trailer shows what the Xbox Series S can do, as well as revealing a $299 price tag.
However, soon after the leak, Microsoft decided to take matters into its own hands. Announcing that the company will “make it official,” the @Xbox Twitter account confirmed the price tag in a tweet. The company also revealed that the Series S will be the smallest Xbox yet.
What Was Revealed for the Xbox Series S?
While the Xbox Twitter account is holding off from revealing more information, we can still glean a lot from @h0x0d’s tweet. Given that Microsoft was in a hurry to officially announce the console after the leak, it’s proof that the trailer is legitimate.
The end of the trailer displays a stat card that shows off the power of the Xbox Series S. It will be a digital console, without the ability to play physical CDs to reduce costs.
The console will also handle 1440p resolution at 60FPS and comes with a 512MB SSD built-in. Most importantly, the trailer reveals the console will be released in November 2020. A specific day is yet to be revealed.
A Short Wait Until the Xbox Series S Release Date
With the combination of the leak plus the official confirmation from Microsoft, we can now piece together a lot of information about the new Xbox Series S. However, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered.
With the holiday season fast approaching, Microsoft has been drip-feeding fans with information on its new Xbox Series X. Recently, the company cleared up accessory compatibility when moving from the Xbox One to the Series X.
