A trailer showing off Microsoft's second next-generation console, the Xbox Series S, has been leaked revealing all its specs.
Rumours of Microsoft's Series S console have long been around, but now fans have finally recieved confirmation from the tech firm.
A report by Thurrott today said that the Xbox Series S is coming out in November and it will cost £249.99, alongside a purported release date for the main Xbox Series X console.
Since the leak, Microsoft has come forward and officially unveiled the secondary console, but still hasn't attached a release date to the Series S or the Series X.
We now know that the Series S will be a less powerful version of the Series X and it will come without a disc tray.
Xbox Series S console specs
From the trailer, which you can view above, there's plenty of details about what's in this cheaper console.
To begin with, we see that this is the 'smallest Xbox ever', as it will be nearly 60 per cent smaller than the Xbox Series X, but it will still play next-generation games.
SSD and Performance
The Series S will come with a custom NVME SSD, which will have 512 GB of storage on it. This is compared to Series X, which will come with an SSD with 1TB of storage, double the Series S.
While there's no more detail on the SSD, the video says it will deliver "incredibly fast load times" and "seamless game switching".
Thanks to the SSD and hardware, the Series S will be able to play games in 1440p and run them in up to 120 frames per second (FPS), which is a massive boost compared to the current PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
Series S will also come with ray tracing, which is a lighting enhancement to make games look more realistic, as well as 4K media playback with 4K upscaling for games on the console.
All digital
One huge difference from the Series X is, of course, the removal of the disc tray.
This means the console will be entirely digital and can only run games or films which you would download from the Xbox Live Store, so you'd need constant internet access, just like last year's Xbox One S All-Digital.
While this might be ideal for some who prefer to have a totally digital library, it removes the choice of being able to use your Xbox to play physical DVDs or Blu Ray discs, while also meaning you won't be able to put any Xbox One game discs you own in there to play through backwards compatibility.
There are plenty of positives to having a digital-only library, however, and it might become the norm as consoles evolve even more.
Having no physical copies of games would mean that your chance of breaking of losing them would be completely non-existent, for example.
