Here Are The Latest Rumoured Xbox Series S Specs

They are obviously going to reveal this when they reveal the prices because it’s the whole reason for the XSS existence.

Yeah, I have a XBoneX right now, def going with the series x not s if these are accurate. More future proof, won’t have to upgrade in a year when the higher end games start rolling out.

“Next gen support” as opposed to “all series x exclusives.”

Wonder if this means Series S potentially won’t run Scorn or The Medium.

@Tharsman I missed that, that is exactly what it sounds like! That would be bad out the gate. Makes sense now why they would discontinue the Xbox One X and Digital only One S. If this is a budget version of a digital only One X with better specs.

I definitely want the most bang for my buck, so I am sticking with the Xbox Series X.

"next gen support", "no disc drive".

This means the S will be competing directly with the PS5AD, but won't have the support or power to beat it. And the X won't be able to compete with the PS5 standard because of brand loyalty.

So if this is true, as far as I can see, next gen is a bust, and I'm out.

Still think the series s will be the star this Christmas, sub 300usd selling price bundled with a month or two free ultimate will be an absolute steal.

I really hope they maintain the same frequency for the GPU as the Xbox series X even if it means a lower number of computer units.

I fear that the series S Is going to be the next gen console with the traditional form factor and price point that has prove successful in the past and will probably end up outselling the series X about 3 to 1.

I will be waiting to see the prices on these. I want a series x but depending on the price I may end up waiting on a new console. I won’t be buying a console without a disc drive.

At this point I'm just considering just XCloud and a tablet.

Wow no support for next gen exclusives and no disk drive and poor amount of terra flops. This is basically an upgrade xbox one x which I can't see being successful and most people will buy it from shops not fully knowing this information.

I think they should target 1080p with the series s especially with 4 Tflop making it a gtx 1060 equivalant and besides most tv resolution are either 1080p or 4k so targeting 2k is pointless and i hope the next gen support isn't true cause scorn could easly run on series s if they lowered resolution to 1080p or even 30fps in worst case if it didn't that will make zero sense it's like saying this game was built using rtx2080 but you can't run it in gtx 1660

So it won't play all next gen games? That's a marketing nightmare I'd imagine.

$250 max. Otherwise I'm just going to miss xbox this generation. I should say I'm going to pass on Xbox because I'm not sure I'll be missing anything.

Series S will play all Series X games.

Series S still has a better CPU than PS5 and because the resolution is capped, the less capable GPU of Series S shouldn't be a problem, it could be a problem for 4K60 on PS5, though. Price will be its main selling point, same as PS 5AD. Series S shouldn't cost more than 300 and Series X shouldn't cost more than 500.

Might as well go all in, series x for me, simple.

@sixrings

And nobody will miss you or care. 👍🏻

@KelticDevil thanks for caring just enough to comment.

@sixrings

No problem. 👍🏻

@Richnj Yep, that’s why I’m just gonna play Microsoft Studios exclusives on my PC. What’s the point in shelling out for the Xbox Series X when I can play the same games but way better? PS5 and Switch are the only consoles I need from here on out.

@AJDarkstar That would certainly be an efficient option. Might also explain why it’s proving so difficult to price. They would have to set a price in order to sell them in the correct ratio.

If they were using the same chip I would put them relatively close together in price. If the series S took off Microsoft would then have the option of diverting chips that would’ve been fit for the series X without taking too much of a loss. If it didn’t they can just put the S on sale periodically.

@JesWood13 Good luck building a PC that matches Series X performance, frame rate, resolution, ray tracing, SSD, etc., for less than 2,000.

@Ryall I think that could be the case, since Series S is the same CPU and the same GPU but with fewer CUs and a lower clock. I think that the prices will be:

500: Series X and PS5
400: PS5 All-Digital Edition, I mean, Digital Edition
300: Series S

That would be an interesting sandwich pricing but I hope that the Digital Edition PS5 doesn't hurt Series X too much.

@BlueOcean $100 cheaper than the PSD AD is not enough especially when the S is AD as well.

Series X / PS5 500
PSD AD 400
Series S 250

@sixrings It worries me more that PS 5AD would be cheaper than Series X because of PlayStation's (undeserved) stratospheric popularity.

@BlueOcean LMFAO!!!! What makes you think I don’t already have one? 😂😂😂 I have a 2080 Ti and AMD Ryzen 3900X in my system with 16GB RAM. I’m already getting way better performance than a Series X 😂😂😂

@JesWood13 Good for you but not everybody has a gaming PC and remember that you can't compare specifications between a console and a PC because consoles will always outperform similar specs PCs thanks to the optimisation and customisation.

@BlueOcean Lol ok 👍

@BlueOcean I don't even like PlayStation but would be buying one based on your pricing structure. Xbox needs to buy their way to victory this gen or I assume people will go the PS5/switch combo route.

I'm not surprised about the "no disc drive" spec. However it gets me thinking that this becomes actually a lesser console than Xbox One X. Can't play 4k movies, disc based games that are B/C don't work. Also the balance of the specs...I can't help but think that you might as well of just made an Xbox One X "Pro" or something. Anyways, its all rumours so far.

Could Series S actually just be a "Game Pass" box?

@sixrings We don't know prices yet, just speculation. On the other hand, PS5 is bigger yet weaker than Series X and the Digital Edition doesn't have a disc drive so gamers would hesitate before buying any of them. I think that the general public would probably compare PS5 Digital Edition with Series S and PS5 with Series X even though they are not same. Series S may be the winner for budget-conscious people and casual players.

@kuliddar The disc drive is the only big sacrifice but PS5 also has a disc-less version. The CPU of Series S is the same as Series X so stronger than PS5 yet the GPU is the weakest since resolution is capped at 1080-1440p. I think that Series S is the best value of the next generation although I'll get a Series X instead 😆.

@BlueOcean The difference here is that Xbox is already BC all the way to OG Xbox, while PS5, it will likely only be PS4 so the impact isn't as much felt for users. I do think S is also best value for sure but I see it more for the casual user who will likely just use Gamepass for 80% of his games. But yeah, its Series X for me as well whenever I pick one up.
