Aaron Greenberg Explains The Xbox Series S 'Lockhart' Codename

Before it was revealed earlier this week, the Xbox Series S had been the subject of many rumours throughout the past couple of years. For a long time, it was only known as the 'Lockhart' - the codename for the system within Microsoft - and now the company has revealed why it chose that name.

Taking to Twitter, GM of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg explained that it actually references a city in Texas:

We think that's a pretty neat choice given the ultra-compact design of the console!

It's previously been revealed that Anaconda was the codename for the Xbox Series X, but interestingly, there's still another codename we don't know anything about - the 'Edinburgh'. There's been some speculation about what this could be, but at the moment, very few people (if any) outside of Microsoft appear to know for sure.
