Xbox Series S – the budget nex-gen Xbox – stands revealed

Leaks are allegedly springing from the Microsoft camp, with further confirmation from Xbox itself, as to what fans can expect to cough up to get their hands on the next-generation console.

Amid widely reported leaks in the form of a trailer and a key image, Xbox confirmed that their Series S console will come with a $299 price tag. In the UK, the price comes up to £250. A nice sizeable number compared to the Series X, which comes with a price tag of $499 (£379.84).

And though Series S is the next gen console on a budget, the stats prove it is nothing to be scoffed at. Key takeaways are:

• All-digital
• 1440p performance up to 120fps
• Variable refresh rate
• Ray tracing support
• 4K game upscaling
• 4K media playback
• Custom NVME SSD (512 GB)
• 60% smaller than XSX
