On Sunday evening, a floodgate opened about Microsoft's next-gen console launch plans. Multiple reports, along with a telling video snippet, put an exclamation point on the company's leaked aspirations to launch the "Xbox Series X" console (announced in late 2019) next to a cheaper, smaller "Xbox Series S" model by year's end.
And while some details could change—particularly the reports' guesses of $299 for Xbox Series S and $499 for Xbox Series X—we suspect that this leaked design for a smaller, next-gen Xbox is accurate.
Longtime Microsoft-tracking reporter Brad Sams kicked off the flurry of Sunday news with a screenshot showing an apparent Xbox Series S design, colored white and roughly half the size of an Xbox Series X, next to a price: $299. Sams did not offer an explanation for where he sourced his image, but he has repeatedly reported on the Series S's existence while it was in development under the code name Lockhart, alongside the Series X (codenamed Scarlett).
