Holiday time is almost here and Xbox [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/xbox/] is making things merrier. Xbox has announced its annual Black Friday sale, and the number of games on sale is huge. This year has been a roller coaster ride for game lovers. From the release of high-performing gaming titles to next-gen consoles, it has been an eventful year. A few setbacks aside, Xbox has performed consistently. In addition, they have now revealed the much-awaited Black Friday deals. Tons of games and DLC content are now on sale. A major chunk of it is for Xbox One. Nonetheless, Smart Delivery for some Series X/S games is available too. The sale starts November 20 onwards.

Xbox Series S is the next-gen console by Microsoft that is a scaled-down version of the Xbox Series X. It is Xbox's smallest console yet and is almost 60% smaller than the Series X.

So far, only a white version of the console is shown but it has all the next-gen capabilities. The console may not be as powerful as the Series X but can run all the next-gen games seamlessly.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft?s next-gen consoles is the price point.
