- Microsoft has officially confirmed the price and design of Series S
Short as 2020 feels, the wait for next-gen console news has been a long, slow march. It’s almost comical that we have heard rumours about a cheaper Xbox coming out alongside the new Series X for months and months, but Microsoft is yet to confirm such a thing. At least Sony revealed both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in one go. Microsoft is, for some reason, keeping the Series S under wraps. That’s surprising, considering we have seen mentions of the Series S on leaked controller packagings, and other places.
According to the leaked image, the Series S is priced at $299. That price has been corroborated by a recent Windows Central report as well, which further says that Microsoft will also offer the console as part of a $25 per month Xbox All Access plan. Moreover, the Series X is expected to be priced at $499. The report further adds that both consoles will be launched on November 10.
