Tipster Brad Sams shared a tweet with an image of what is said to be the Xbox Series S, along with a price tag of $299. The image shows the console in white, placed next to a white Xbox controller. The Xbox Series S has a similar cuboidal shape as the Series X but is much smaller and has a black grill on one side.
Another known tipster who goes by the pseudonym WalkingCat on Twitter, shared a small clip showing a size comparison between the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X. In terms of height, it is slightly smaller than the Xbox Series X, but quite a lot slimmer.
A report by Windows Central, citing sources, claims to confirm the pricing and release date for the two consoles. It claims that the Xbox Series S will, in fact, cost $299 and the Xbox Series X will cost $499 (roughly Rs. 36,800). The Series S is said to come with a $25 per month Xbox All Access financing option while the Series X is said to come with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option. It adds that both consoles will be released on November 10.
Microsoft has not shared an exact release date for the Xbox Series X and has only revealed that it will be launching in November. Interestingly, previous leaks have claimed that the PlayStation 5 will be released on November 20 and it looks like Microsoft wants to beat Sony in the race for launching a next generation gaming console.
