First images of the Xbox Series S
This is what it looks like: Due to a leak, first images of the smaller, more affordable version of the Xbox Series have now emerged.
Although the clip on Twitter lasts just under 4 seconds, it allows viewers to compare the size. At the end of the video, you can see how small the S console is compared to the Xbox Series X. Both consoles are initially shown side by side, and finally, the small console is placed inside the large X.
Noticeable is the large, dark fan intake on the side of the console.
Based on this graphic, it looks like the Xbox Series S will come without a disc drive. Leaks regarding the S version from March 2020 predicted a competitive price of $299. At that time, a possible argument for this low price was that it does not include a 4K Blu-ray drive.
How do you like the design of the S version and the leaked prices? Do you think Microsoft will launch the consoles at these prices, or will it ultimately be more expensive? After all, the next-gen offers strong specs. Everything we know about the specs, games, and the controller of the Xbox Series X.
