Leaked Xbox Series S commercial reveals 1440p, ray tracing, and 512GB SSD
If recent reports and leaks prove true, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles will launch on Nov. 10 for familiar prices: $499 for the Xbox Series X, and $299 for the Xbox Series S. After the leaks occurred, Microsoft itself confirmed the Xbox Series S’s existence, also as its $299 price point.
It looks like next-gen Xbox information is making its answer on the web: Windows Central says it’s received the Xbox Series X pricing and launch information; Thurrott’s Brad Sams says he’s confirmed the existence of the Xbox Series S; and therefore the WalkingCat Twitter account has some images of the Xbox Series S comparing the dimensions of the (smaller) Series S console to the next-gen Xbox Series X. And Microsoft? After this reports surfaced, the corporate just went ahead and... tweeted it out.
Microsoft, of course, has confirmed the existence of the Xbox Series X, with a deep dive into its internals. To date, however, Microsoft hasn’t said anything beyond the very fact that the console would launch during the 2020 season , even with the COVID-19 pandemic lurking within the background. However, Microsoft launched the first Xbox One X at $499, and Windows Central says that’s getting to be the worth of the new Xbox Series X, too.
Microsoft has yet to verify the costs of the Series X console, the launch date, or the interior components of the Xbox Series S. Microsoft’s own disclosure of the Xbox Series S and its price adds to details revealed by the WalkingCat Twitter account on Sunday night, which posted a GIF file with a white Xbox Series S being compared to the dimensions of the larger Xbox Series X. A still image of that GIF is posted at rock bottom of this text .
Windows Central also says that it's confirmed that the Xbox Series S console doesn’t include an optical disk drive, needless to say . the location said it expects Xbox Series S performance to be that of the Xbox One X. The image Microsoft shared of the cheaper console don’t immediately show a disc slot, unlike the Xbox Series X’s promotional images.
Offering the Xbox Series X at $499 would, in some circles, be a deep discount to what Microsoft could charge for the console. Microsoft has said that its next-gen Xbox Series X console will offer 12 teraflops of performance, roughly twice that of the Xbox One X. Teraflops measure compute performance instead of actual gaming performance, but there was already a a huge gap between the performance of the Xbox One S (1.4 TFlops) and therefore the Xbox One X (6 TFlops). The latter Xbox One X console has largely been sold out and discontinued, and available through Amazon’s Renewed program for $470.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft will make the Xbox Series X a part of its Xbox All Access program, Windows Central reports, a lease that permits a user to pay alittle fee (about $31/mo for an Xbox One X) to lease a Microsoft console. The All Access plan also comes with 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft’s Netflix-like game subscription program. A $299 Xbox Series X paired with Xbox Game Pass already looks poised to supply stunning value, and offering it on a monthly payment plan would only make it more achievable for gamers to get .
Sony, of course, hasn’t announced the worth of its next-generation PlayStation 5 console. seems like the ball is in Sony’s court, now...or a minimum of until Microsoft decides to tweet even more information.
