Xbox Series S

Microsoft is planning a refresh of its Xbox Series consoles for 2024, with an updated Series S and a redesigned, discless Series X due for launch next year, according to a leaked court document.

Xbox Series console owners who’ve been looking to expand their device’s on-board storage from the standard 512GB/1TB offerings now have a new option courtesy of Western Digital’s C50 Expansion Cards.

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has revealed the Series X and Series S console generation is the best selling in the 20-year history of the brand.

‘Tis the season for more console storage for Xbox Series console owners. With the growing list of Xbox Game Pass titles, four generations worth of backwards-compatible games, and exclusives, storage space is the limiting factor.

November 2020 is an exciting month for gamers, as four brand new consoles make their debuts on three separate launch days. The first of those, for the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, came on Tuesday, November 10, and according to Microsoft it was the largest launch in the entire history of the console family.

Microsoft’s information dump on next-generation consoles this week is continuing apace, with the Xbox Series S now laid bare in full.

Update: Microsoft has now confirmed that the Xbox Series S at least will launch on November 10.

The cat is finally out of what was looking like a pretty transparent bag. Microsoft’s other next-gen console, the Xbox Series S is now public knowledge. The computing giant has revealed both the design and price of the Series S after some early leaks on social media today.

Although Microsoft is apparently reticent to confirm its second next-gen console, the brand doesn’t appear to be all that shy in keeping its name away from official documentation. For the second time in around a month, the Series S name has leaked out on Microsoft products.

There’s a good chance that the Microsoft Xbox Series S is already the worst-kept secret in gaming, but it seems to have just become even less secret somehow. Two different Twitter users have published images overnight that appear to confirm the console.
