Microsoft Schedules Release For Xbox Series S To Arrive On November 10 This Fall

Followers online should already be well-acquainted with the recent news from Microsoft: the lower tiered Xbox Series S has officially been announced. The unit was initially leaked late last night with rumors tossing around the possibility of a $299 price tag pinned on the smaller system. It wasn’t until a handful of hours later that Microsoft verified the claims to be accurate.

Even more, it was reported from The Verge that disclosed some more in-detail aspects of the coming Xbox Series S. In that, the publication told the new model would offer elements as expected for the next-generation from Microsoft such as variable rate shading and console being disc drive-free. That on top of reiterating on the system by sharing that DirectX raytracing will be implemented over the initial “minimal raytracing” that was originally reported for the unit.

Now with the cat out of the bag, Microsoft shared the announcement trailer for the system alongside disclosing the release date for the new, more cheaper unit. You can view the trailer in the video below:

“Introducing Xbox Series S. Next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever. Experience the speed and performance of a next-gen, all-digital console at an accessible price point: $299 (ERP),” the description for the trailer reads. The listed price for the Xbox Series S does happen to corroborate with the report from Windows Central disclosing the same price margin for the console.

More so, the price discloses that the system will be offered with Xbox All Access as well as its sibling system Xbox Series X also doing the same with a $499 price over its head. At the time, the outlet told the units would be shipping on November 10 this fall simultaneously. And now that Microsoft has properly confirmed the information, it is expected the firm will share the same for the Xbox Series X fairly soon. You can read the full report by heading here.
