“Next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever,” read a tweet from Xbox alongside the photo. The shot shows the Series S with a controller for scale. More features, the tweet promised, will be announced soon.
Rumors about the digital-only version of the XBox Series X has been in the news for quite a while now and it’s been rumored as being codenamed the “Project Lockhart.”
But the attention that both the XBox Series Z and the PlayStation 5 have garnered have distorted views about when the lite version of the former will be released or the prices of both game consoles.

YouTuber Brad Sam further showed images of the XBox Series X and Series S in comparison but reports from Windows Central confirmed that both game consoles will be released on Nov. 10, but Microsoft only confirmed that the Series S will be out that day. The “more powerful” Xbox Series X will cost $499, according to that report, but this wasn’t confirmed by Xbox.
Separately, leaker WalkingCat tweeted an apparent Series S promo video revealing some of the console’s specs, but it didn’t include a release date like the official Microsoft version of the video.
The source of Sam’s leak has been speculated to being via Microsoft itself which could be true to some point or not. It doesn’t matter. But the price point of the device seems good enough as it might be a good alternative for buyers who’d prefer the much cheaper version of the game rather than the much powerful console.
