Xbox 360 s prices
Microsoft announced that Xbox Series S is launching on the same day as Xbox Series X on November 10. Here's what the system's retail box looks like. Like the Series X, it can be placed horizontally or vertically to better fit your setup. This means it can be placed in more locations, particularly if you have one as a secondary system alongside an Xbox Series X.
It's around 60% smaller than the Xbox Series X, and is the smallest Xbox console ever. The S in the name likely means "slim" or "small" and may refer to the console's small form factor, which is about two Xbox and a half controllers tall. Xbox Series S's name is an obvious continuation of Microsoft's current naming scheme with its Xbox One family of consoles. The console was otherwise identical to the standard Xbox One S and sold for $50 cheaper. While seeing Microsoft chase a cheaper model with no disc drive might seem like an obvious move to contend against Sony's PS5 Digital Edition, we've actually seen Microsoft experiment with disc drive-less consoles in the past with its Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. Of course, with the huge file sizes of games and limitations on how much data can fit on a disc, this could also be an issue on other systems. Downloading games will likely take up more time than it is worth. Regardless, if you're someone from an area with bad internet coverage, you may want to forego Xbox Series S entirely due to its digital-only focus. But even then, that has unique rules around what can or can't be played from the external storage, which you can find out more about in our Xbox Series X/S external storage explainer article. Also, it's worth pointing out that it only has 512 GB SSD worth of storage-about half of the Xbox One X-so you'll more than likely need to resort to the proprietary external SSDs needed to expand your available space. The most important detail about the Xbox Series S is that it has no disc drive, which means your primary way of acquiring games will be via Microsoft's digital storefront or via the xCloud service once it is available on consoles. Or if you want to see how it physically looks, we've gotten hands-on with an official Xbox Series S mockup.
