If we have been talking about the next two Xbox consoles on Xboxygen for a long time, the last few months have been devoted almost entirely to the Xbox Series X , the only new Xbox console officially confirmed by Microsoft. But according to several sources, the Xbox Series S is still current and new details are emerging today.

June 9, 2020 update

A new source supports the arrival of the Xbox Series S today, which is still known by its codename, Lockhart. According to information from Venturebeat , the Xbox Lockhart should have been revealed this week, and even today. But with the delay of the PS5 conference , Microsoft would have decided to review its plans and to postpone its announcement until later. This summer is definitely going to be really very rich in announcements if all this is confirmed!

Original article from March 7, 2020

This is the Chinese specialized site Mydrivers, close to the sources of production and having already leaked information in the past revealed to be correct on telephones, which releases this leak which we take all the same with tweezers as long as nothing is officialized by Microsoft.

Xbox Series S news coming soon?

According to their sources, Microsoft is expected to unveil the Xbox Series S for the first time soon. The new Xbox, which has been codenamed Lockhart for more than a year, should be an equivalent to the Xbox One S that Microsoft has released to reinvigorate its range of consoles on the current generation.

The Xbox Series S would therefore be a new design console created to offer a floor price in order to attract players who are not looking for performance at all costs.

For players looking for the best of the best, there will be the Xbox Series X and its 12 raw TFLOPS, equipped with a state-of-the-art processor with SSD, Raytracing and Variable Rate Shading in the program. Power in its raw state in order to deliver the best possible rendering on your TV.

Xbox Series S: 4 TFLOPS of power

Still according to the same claims, the Xbox Series S should offer a power of 4 TFLOPS, 3x less than its big sister the Xbox Series X and even less than the Xbox One X and its 6 TFLOPS.

However, the gaming performance of the Xbox Series S would be higher than the last current Xbox thanks to the new RDNA architecture of the console chip. Last year, some sources mentioned an Ryzen 4GHz APU with 16 GB of RAM, including 12 GB allocated to the graphics card and 4 GB for the OS of this new Xbox. But we will have to wait a little longer for official sources.

The price is the number 1 argument targeted by this new console. If the price of the Xbox Series X is expected around $ 500 that of the Xbox Series S should be around $300 if we believe the same sources.

For a new generation console, the argument should hit the mark. History of lowering production costs to offer this floor price, it would also be possible that the console does not have a Blu Ray player, and is only dedicated to dematerialized.

With the hectic news around the Coronavirus, the various world fairs canceled one after the other and the uncertainties around the E3 of June, Microsoft must certainly ask questions and perhaps adjust its initial communication plan, just like Sony. The coming months are likely to be interesting to follow to see if the release of the Xbox Series X and PS5 will be maintained for the end of the year, and at what price.

Personally I can not imagine going to the next gen with the S series, Autan keep a little more the one X. On the other hand if it is true it makes a very reasonable offer for those who cannot afford it. It seems to announce the X series at 500 and suddenly I think that the PS5 will be around 450 if it is actually a little below the X in pure power.

I would rather tend to play streaming until the price of the consoles drop and that real next-gen games will be released (so in 2022/2023). In addition the first models of consoles will undoubtedly have glitches as often.

If and only if it is confirmed, it's super cool. A next gen at 299 is still great. $ 200 difference with the high-end model is not nothing and it allows small budgets to go directly to the next gen and move to the SX once prices will drop. I was gone for the X series but $ 200 difference makes me serious think anyway.

It would be a punch offer for those who are equipped for the whole demat! It remains to see the official comparisons with the model above, because it seems very low to me 300 USD anyway.

I think the parameters of the s will be those of the X series but in light, full hd rather than 4K and much less greedy therefore. all those who have a good full hd screen and who does not wish to change it if we find. no luck I just took an oled 4k sony a8g it will be ps5 or x series, but the games that arrive leave me all indifferent, will wait a few months to observe the games and let the dung arriving. the gameplay the friends the gameplay the fun, let's stop focusing on the graphics.

I am relaunching rocket leagues again ... no I'm not ashamed
 
Personally I understand the microsoft approach in the idea, but it may confuse minds com level all that. Already that even here, there is some to think that the xbox one X, would remain more powerful with 6 Tflops against the 4 Tflops of the S series.

So if in addition it communicates on the 12 Tflops of the x series to counter the ps5 and it is 9 Tflops, while explaining to us that 4 Tflops of a S series is still better than 6 Tflops of an xbox one X ... The pro sony will come to explain to us that the 9 Tflops of the ps5 are better than the 12 of the X series : o).

Good I am having fun in advance of the time that I will waste to explain all that in shop lol.

In any case, it's cool to see different proposals on the market, it will always be more interesting to observe than two identical boxes branded sony or microsoft. And personally since I am multi-equipped with my children and sharing accounts, I risk taking the X series for me, and S for the little ones.
