Xbox Series S to be revealed in May

Xbox Series S reveal is likely to happen in May, a report from Windows Central suggests.

The Series S aka Lockhart, is a next-gen Microsoft console that’s less powerful than the announced Xbox Series X; it’s also expected to be cheaper.

Windows Central describes the Series S as "a 4TF entry-point to next-gen gaming" designed to replace the current-gen Xbox One X, but with added “aspects of a next-gen experience currently unavailable to past-gen consoles, presumably in the form of NVME loading speeds and perhaps some limited ray-tracing.”. Previous rumours have also suggested the Series S will be disc-less.

The outlet admits it has “no idea about the capabilities of Lockhart outside that magical ‘4TF’ GPU number.” That’s 4 teraflops which is less in comparison to the Xbox Series X 12 teraflop output.

It’s believed that the Xbox Series S will be revealed in May along with potential announcements of several Xbox Game Studios games including a rumoured Fable project from Playground Games.

We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

I want to say that 4 terraflops compared to the regular Xbox Series X 12 terraflops seems to me a bit of a cheap-sake move on their part. Sure if the device your buying is cheaper than of course it won't have as much processing power but it seems in my opinion a bit bloated for them to reduce it that much. Plus this disc-less thing has me curious to what in the world they're thinking. Personally I've never heard of a disc-less console until they came out with a similar one for the Xbox One and that to me is a turn off.

I'm not hear to complain, the console is indeed a good one but you have to be noted at the exact same time they truly are low balling the consumer.

Looking forward to it, but not as much as finally seeing the PS5.
