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.

Nice to see an affordable option early on. I'm sure MS realizes that not everyone has, can get, or intends to get a 4K display. Besides, I'm sure they're going to have a lot of binned chips, so this is probably just one way to make use of the defective ones.

Cute and much smaller than the X version, something very important for some. I hope Sony is preparing a mini version of the upcoming PS5.

Looks like a bluetooth speaker yes. This could mean that the original Xbox Series X is 499-599 EUR.
