Microsoft has officially revealed its Xbox Series S console, the company's affordable entry point into next-generation gaming. Sadly, Microsoft has not revealed the specifications of their system yet, but we do know its UK pricing, £249.99. In the US this console will cost $299.

With Xbox Series S, Microsoft is undercutting its competition, offering its latest system for a price tag that Sony cannot match with its PlayStation 5 system. Unfortunately, this system appears to lack a disk drive, though that was a sacrifice that had to be made to achieve such low retail pricing.

Early rumours suggest that this new system will feature a 4 TFLOPs graphics component and the same CPU/storage specifications as the Xbox Series X, allowing the Xbox Series S to run all Xbox Series X games at lower display resolutions. This information should be confirmed at a later date, as Microsoft has stated that they plan to share more details on the system "soon".

Microsoft's Xbox Series S console is the company's smallest Xbox ever, a fact which will allow the system to be stored in smaller spaces and be transported more easily than ever before.
