Besides Xbox Series S, the Redmond giant is also expected to unveil Xbox Series X – the more powerful console – with a price tag of $499. Both consoles will reportedly launch on November 10th, 2020. Initially trusted Microsoft leaker Brad Sams leaked a photo render via his Twitter account and Thurrott.com showing the Xbox Series S console is white in color. It is placed next to a white Xbox controller and doesn’t seem to have a disc drive. It also features a large black circular grill in the top portion of the unit when standing upright, which is likely for cooling. Later the console was officially confirmed by the official Twitter account of Xbox.
