Xbox Series S has had its price revealed this morning, Sept. 8. The announcement came through Xbox's official Twitter account, calling the console "next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever."
Microsoft's newest console comes in a small, white, rectangular package. Those looking for a gaming system that would sit happily on their dorm room-issued bookshelf should look no further. It features a minimalist design with a power cable, USB port, controller sync button, and power button. There is no disc drive to be seen.
