There were a lot of rumors around Microsoft working on two consoles to establish a niche on both ends of the market. The wait is finally over as Microsoft just revealed the price for the Xbox Series S.
However, this news came after a series of leaks that hinted towards a possibility of Series S. It was probably Microsoft’s worst kept secret. After much anticipation, Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox Series S will cost $299.
The design of the console is pretty unique and different and doesn’t correspond with what the fans had in mind. The prices that have been put forward also are pretty intriguing.
