Microsoft has finally confirmed the news that Xbox fans have been waiting for - an entry-level console is launching alongside the Xbox Series X.
The budget console, dubbed the Xbox Series X, was confirmed on Twitter this morning.
Microsoft said: “Let’s make it official!
“Xbox Series S. Next-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever. £249.99 (ERP). Looking forward to sharing more! Soon. Promise.”
An image of the console shows a small white device with a large circular vent in the centre.
Further details on the budget console remain scarce, although fans were quick to express their thoughts on the Xbox Series S.
One user replied: "This looks like the loudest console of all time," while another added: "Boys it’s happening. Yesss."
The announcement comes shortly after new claims that Microsoft’s 2020 consoles will finally launch on November 10.
Windows Central cites ‘sources’, and suggests that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will have similar price tags to their predecessors.
It explained: “We can confirm via our sources that the entry-level Xbox Series S will cost $299 at retail, with a $25 per month Xbox All Access financing option, which Microsoft is planning to push hard via various retailers and a large global rollout.
“The more powerful Xbox Series X will cost $499, with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option. Both consoles will launch on November 10, 2020.”
Microsoft is yet to confirm the launch date for either console, although it has revealed that they’ll go on sale in Holiday 2020.
