Early Impressions
The console looks a lot thinner with a reduced footprint than it’s bigger brother, the Xbox Series X. The console will not come with an optical drive, hence every title and purchase will be digitally distributed. A USB drive slot is also visible in the front. The big circle in the front is possibly for ventilation, but we’re not so sure yet.
The storage options and other specifications have not been released yet. People have started speculating on its specs and performance already, with many numbers floating around in forums and social media. I would personally expect a tad bit more performance than the One X, but we’ll come back to it sometime later.
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will launch on November 10 of this year.
