Microsoft may not be ready to announce the Xbox Series S to the public yet, but we already know it exists. We have seen references to the codename Lockhart, among other things. Plus, a recent leak showed the Xbox Series S name on a controller packaging. While we were expecting an announcement in August, which didn’t happen, we now have even more proof that the Series S is real.
I got a new controller for my Xbox since mine was broken. Interestingly enough, the Game Pass Ultimate trial code sheet mentions the unannounced @Xbox Series S. It’s definitely a thing. pic.twitter.com/GX1rOYG5g7
Microsoft’s decision to already begin printing the “X|S” branding on vouchers that can be purchased by users right now is a definite sign that the Xbox Series S is very close to an actual reveal. After all, there’s not much to tell about it, unless Microsoft has something more exciting planned than we are expecting. From what we can tell, the Series S will be a smaller, slightly less powerful version of the Xbox Series X. In fact, recent reports have suggested that the Series S will have a 4 Teraflop GPU. That’s less than a third of the Xbox Series X.
