Microsoft confirms smaller Xbox Series S priced 299 euros

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Series S. On Twitter, the company mentions that it is "the smallest Xbox ever", coming to you at a suggested retail price of 299 euros. More details have not yet been announced. Additional information will follow soon, Microsoft promises.

The Series S will reside next to the Series X and serves as an entry-level model. Microsoft will release the Xbox Series X, which will compete with the PlayStation 5, in November. This Xbox does not seem to have a disc tray, like the Xbox One X and One S. In July it was announced that Microsoft would stop producing these game consoles. The console gets an NVME SSD as standard with a storage space of 512GB. Here are the specifications:

• Console All-Digital
• 60% smaller than Xbox Series X
• 512GB NVME SSD disc powered by Xbox Velocity Architecture
• Resolution 1440p up to a maximum of 120FPS
• DirectX Raytracing
• VRS
• Upscaling 4K games
• Native 4K media playback

Presumably, the Xbox Series S offers less computing power, and games are played at a lower resolution compared to the Series X as well Microsoft would release more information about both game consoles on November 10. The Series X is now rumored to sell at 499 dollars.
